Asset Fund and how they could help to meet your investment goals, please

The Defined Asset Funds Advantage

Ongoing Supervision

While our funds are not actively managed, the portfolios are reviewed
regularly by our research analysts and a security may be sold in the event of
significant adverse developments.

Reinvestment Option
Most equity funds offer a reinvestment option that lets you reinvest
distributions into additional units of the fund, at a reduced sales charge. By
reinvesting, you can increase your holdings and compound your total return.

Low Expenses

Although units are subject to sales charges, annual operating expenses are low.
What's more, volume discounts are generally available on larger purchases.

Liquidity

You can redeem your investment at any time at a price based on the fund's then
current net asset value which may be more or less than your original cost.

Exchange Option

You may also choose to exchange your holdings for certain other Defined Asset
Funds at a reduced sales charge.

Convenience

No need for multiple security purchases. Defined Asset Funds offer
diversification, with one easy price to track.

information used may include earnings, dividends, interviews with management,
and other financial factors.

non-subjective factors, such as price-earnings, dividend yield, price-momentum,

</TABLE>

Past Performance is no guarantee of future results. Total Return figures
represent price changes plus distributions reinvested in the related
Investment Accumulation Program, divided by net asset value (for calculations
without sales charge) and by the initial public offering price (for
calculations with sales charge). High figures represent the individual series
with the highest performance among these series. Low figures represent the
series with the lowest performance and average figures are the aggregate
performance of all series divided by the number of those series. The sales
charge for these series was reduced in August 1998. The average sales charge
included in these figures will be stated in prospectuses for the new series.

(*) Inception dates included in average figure. Series terminated prior to
    12/31/98 are not included.



The following are important facts to keep in mind when considering these
investments.

Please read them carefully before you invest or send money.

There can be no assurance that any Portfolio will meet its objective.

Equity Portfolios are designed for investors who can assume the risks
associated with equity investments, and may not be appropriate for those
seeking capital preservation or high current income.

Several Portfolios are composed of aggressive growth stocks that are subject
to extreme price volatility.  These Portfolios may be considered speculative.

No single Defined Asset Fund should be considered a complete investment
program.

The value of your investment fluctuates with the prices of the securities held
by the Fund.  The amount you receive when you sell may be more or less than
your original cost.  Security prices depend, among other factors, on the
financial condition of the issuer and general market factors.  Bond prices
vary inversely with changes in interest rates; even on government and insured
bonds, while credit risk is minimal, market risk remains.

Except for regular federal income tax (and in some cases state and local
personal income taxes) on Municipal Funds, income and any gain is subject to
tax each year, whether or not these amounts are reinvested.
