in about a week will be the 15th anniversary of Chicken Delight, a franchise operation started and still run by A. L. Tunick. The story goes that he bought a conduction cooker at a bankruptcy sale paying $6,000 for the invention and the inventory. The cooker was designed to make waffles and hamburgers. He made a few changes and evolved his Chicken Delight. Then he came up with the franchise idea. It takes about $10,000 down pay ment for one of his franchises. Most stores sell more than $100,000 year ly. The total franchise sales in the United States last year was esti mated at $70 billions, about 25 per cent of all, retail sales in the country.

Swiss Cheesed A powerful group of Swiss indus trialists have accused Brittan of in fringing the treaty of the European Free Trade Association because of her economic difficulties. The Association of Swiss Machine ‘tool Manufacturers said the British government was exercising“‘in creasing pressure to cause British buyers of foreign industrial products to buy domestic manufactures rather than imports.” The statement added, “This ‘Buy British’ campaign, while it may seem justified by the British balance of payments difficulties, runs contrary to the letter and spirit of the EFTA treaty.” The Guardian, Manchester,
