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 return.
<PAGE>


Low Expenses

Although units are subject to sales charges, annual operating expenses are low.
What's more, sales charge 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 among various securities, with one easy price to track.

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



                                       21
<PAGE>


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.

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 net realized gain is
subject to tax each year, whether or not these amounts are reinvested.
