Some make cleaning-up practic- ally effortless;-others are preven- tive. But all of them, as one man- ufacturer put it, “make the job easier for Mrs. Housewife and give her more time to play bridge.” The nature of the business makes it impossible to estimate exactly how large the infant chem- {ical housewares industry really is. For one thing, when one attrac- tive product splashes onto the market with an expensive promo- tional buildup, anywhere from one to a dozen imitators spring up. Some disappear quickly. Several big department stores recently held a widely advertised | houseware “carnival” in which al- most 50 separate suppliers were represented. Most of the products sell for be- tween $1 and $2. The proudest boast of a chemica! housewares manufacturer is that “re-orders” are coming in at a fine rate— people are buying their second bgt- tle, jar or can, Many of these products are new only to the housewife. Frequently they have been used by industry for years.

There will be com- parisons between his first 100 days and those of Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Truman. But these are comparisons with- out real significance since the cir- cumstances under which the three | men took over the presidency were {different. A Eisenhower’s first 100 days may have to wait a year, perhaps years. It will have to be pegged not so much on what he has done in these firgt 100 days but on the Plans and decisions made in that period for the future. Roosevelt took over when the country was broke and bewildered, He had to act fast to prevent col- lapse, and he did, with one emer- gency measure after another. Truman's first 100 days were momentous—the surrender of Ger- many and the disintegration of Japan—but would have been the same no matter who sat in the White House. It was after the 100 days that Truman had to make his big decisions. Eisenhower inherited, not a wotld war or an economic emer- gency, but situations. which, while they contained critical elements, were mainly static: The country was amazingly prosperous: there {was a cold war with Russia; there was a hot war in Korea. All three situations had been in existence long before Eisenhower's election and none calied for instant solution or emergency handling. Rather, each had to be consid- ered carefully. The prosperity might not last if the Eisenhower administration was | not wise enough to do all the right true judgment of | perhaps one at a time, over @ Mua ber of years.
