BETTER MOUSETRAP
YIELDS NO RAT
When a paint company fi
nally came up with a superior
anti-fouling paint for boats, it
guaranteed its better mouse
trap this way: “It will keep
your boat bottom completely
free of growth for a full year,
or replacement free.”
The paint, company exec
utives knew, would do the job.
Lab tests and boat tests proved
it. But would people be
tempted to take unfair advan
tage of the guarantee?
At the headquarters of
Chilton Paint Company, 109
Fifteenth Avenue, College
Point, New York, the president
of the 104-year-old paint com
pany waited to see what would
happen.
Morality triumphed. Many
boaters bought the paint, a
year has gone by, and only two
have asked for a make-good on
the guarantee. Each, it is sus
pected, either scraped off the
paint on a sand bar or applied
it incorrectly in the first place.
Still, each received a tele
phoned apology from William
R. Martens, president of the
firm that makes “Super Drip
less No. 8,” the name given to
the better mousetrap that
didn’t yield a rat.
