'Take Me to Your Liter' MATADOR NIGHT is New 7-Up Campaign Jazz Ensemble Entertains NEW YORK (AP) The U.S. is a long way from adopting tliu metric system of measurement, but a major soft drink company is planning a radio-TV campaign it hopes i inuke consumers say, "Take me to your liter." The firm, the Seven-Up Co. nf St. Louis, says it plans to begin its broadcast and print advertising campaigns for liter and half-liter bottles of its product in 1975. The company apparently is the first soft drink producer in the U.S.

to take the metric step, according to officials at the National Soft Drink Association and the Glass Container Manufacturers' Institute, two major trade groups. And the step will be limited at first. The radio-TV ads extolling Seven-Up as the "leader in the liter" won't be the only kind set loose, says Lee 'Lnrkin, the company's director of public relations. He says they'll just be one part of nn overall campaign urging consumers to simply buy the drink, he it bottled by the liter or in a i i a ounces, and a the litcr- phasc-in will be gradual. Lnrkin says bottled Seven- Up primarily is sold in units of 1C and 32 ounces.

A half-liter will work out to 16.91 ounces and the liter to 33.82 ounces, he says, but he doubts there'll be a slight price rise to reflect the extra sip provided liter- lovers. There are several reasons for giving the new measurement a tryout, says Larkin: "One is that we want to be the first to do it. The next is that it's a logical system of measurement. "And three, it's going to come sooner or later." Later is more probable, says William Sadd, president of the glass container association: "It's going to happen but there's been no industry-wide move that I know of for the soft drink industry to go metric at this time."
