This product was first distributed through drug stores in the states of North Carolina, Georgia and Florida as a test operation to determine if the sales would repeat over a period of time without benefit of advertising. The success of this .test led to the expansion of sales to include the states of Virginia and South Carolina. During 1948 the company spent $60,980 on preliminary advertising and sales, promotion designed to establish regional salek representation and wholesale distribution outlets.-As a result, the services of seven leading sales agencies contacting the retail drug trade in 34 states were secured, with ..wholesale drug outlets numbering 126. Despite the fact that the primary objective of the company during 1946 was ' Dhe establishment of such distribution rather than immediate con¬ sumer sales, the product sales totaled $29,585. In 1947, the company set as a further preliminary objective the establishment of distribution of the product in the dominant chain drug store organizations. .: The objective of the company has been accomplished by the effecting of distribution and promotion of Meritt Medicated Powder in the leading chain drug stores. The company has been made the exclusive distributor to drug stores in the United States for Florida Fruit Products Co. who produce frozenconcentrated orange juice.
