The Select
S&P Industrial
Portfolio
Take Indexing to Another Level. . .
[LOGO] Merrill Lynch
Indexing -- it's a strategy to mirror the returns of major indices. Why not take
a step beyond?
The Defined Asset Funds(sm)
Select S&P Industrial
Portfolio can help.
Instead of simply replicating an index, the Select S&P Industrial Portfolio
singles out stocks from the S&P Industrial Index* for a combination of capital
appreciation potential and current dividend income.
This value oriented Portfolio seeks total return through a contrarian strategy
of selecting 15 stocks from the Index, which have high dividend yields.
The Strategy
The Select S&P Industrial Portfolio employs a disciplined "buy and hold"
strategy. Each year, we intend to reapply the screening process to select a new
Portfolio. You can reinvest in the next Portfolio, if available, at a reduced
sales charge, or you can redeem your investment. Although each Portfolio is a
one-year investment, we recommend you stay with the Strategy for at least three
to five years for potentially more consistent results.

^ Initial date of deposit -- November 1, 1999.
^ Current dividend yield for each stock was calculated by annualizing the
last monthly, quarterly or semi-annual ordinary dividend received on that stock
and dividing the result by its market value as of the close of trading on
October 29, 1999. There can be no assurance that future dividends, if any, will
be maintained at the indicated rates.

The chart above shows average annual total returns which represent price changes
plus dividends reinvested, divided by the initial public offering price, and
reflect maximum sales charges and expenses. Returns for Series From Inception
differ from Most Recently Completed Portfolio because the former figures reflect
different performance periods and reduced sales charge on annual rollovers.
Avoid the teachings of speculators whose judgments are not confirmed by
experience.

The Selection Process
The Select S&P Industrial Portfolio looks for potential values in the equity
market by investing in companies in the S&P Industrial Index that may be
currently out of favor. It does this through a disciplined four-part screening
process:
1. Defining the Universe: We begin with the S&P Industrial Index, a subset of
the S&P 500 Index,* which includes only industrial stocks. We then remove
any stocks that are also in the Dow Jones Industrial Average* (DJIA).
2. Quality Screen: We only consider stocks that are ranked A+ or A by Standard
& Poor's. Standard & Poor's determines these stock rankings using a
computerized system which focuses primarily on the growth and stability of
per-share earnings and dividends. It then assigns a symbol to each stock,
from A+ for the highest ranked stocks to D for stocks Standard & Poor's
considers to be the most speculative. These rankings differ from
credit-worthiness rankings of bonds, and are not intended to predict stock
price movements.
3. Market Capitalization: We then rank the stocks by market capitalization and
eliminate the lowest 25%. This allows the Portfolio to avoid smaller, less
liquid issues.

<PAGE>
4. Dividend Yield: Finally, we rank the remaining stocks according to dividend
yield. From this group we select the 15 highest dividend-yielding stocks
for the Portfolio, whose prices may be undervalued.

Hypothetical Past Performance of the Strategy (not any Portfolio)
Growth of $10,000 Invested Over 25 Years - 1/1/74 Through 9/30/99
Strategy..................$546,229 S&P 500 Index..............$325,772
DJIA......................$329,092 S&P Industrial Index.......$330,252
[A mountain chart, captioned "Growth of $10,000 Invested Over 26 Years - 1/1/73
Through 9/30/99" compares the cumulative annual performance among the Strategy
Stocks (orange), the DJIA (pink), the S&P 500 Index (violet), and the S&P
Industrial Index (green). A box in the upper left quadrant indicates the
components of the chart. The initial value of each is $10,000; the ending values
are as follows: $440,951 (Strategy); $285,915 (DJIA); $278,013 (S&P 500);
$282,002 (S&P Industrial).]
Since stocks in the Portfolio were chosen solely by applying the Strategy, we
analyzed the Strategy to see how it could have performed. Past performance of
the Strategy is no guarantee of future results of any Portfolio. The Strategy
(with Portfolio sales charges and expenses deducted) would have underperformed
the DJIA in 9, the S&P 500 Index in 10 and the S&P Industrial Index in 9 of the
last 26 years.

Returns shown represent price changes plus dividends reinvested at year ends,
divided by the initial public offering price, and do not reflect deduction of
any commissions or taxes. Portfolio performance will differ from the Strategy
because of commissions, Portfolios are established and liquidated at different
times during the year, they normally purchase and sell stocks at prices
different from those used in determining Portfolio unit price, they are not
fully invested at all time and stocks may not be weighted equally.

Defined Asset Funds -- Our Philosophy
At Defined Asset Funds, we are ever mindful that behind every investment dollar
lies something infinitely more important -- your investment goal. This is why we
offer a full range of defined investments designed to meet a variety of
objectives.
7
<PAGE>
We are committed to providing our investors with some of today's most attractive
equity and fixed-income investments, within the convenient "buy and hold"
structure of a unit investment trust. For income, for growth or for total
return, we believe that time in the market can be an effective strategy for
growing your portfolio.
At Defined Asset Funds, we set the foundation for all of our portfolios in this
way, because we too have an important goal in mind -- yours.
Take a Step Beyond!
You can get started today with the Select S&P Industrial Portfolio for about
$250. Call your financial professional for a free prospectus containing more
complete information, including sales charges, expenses and risks. Please read
it carefully before you invest or send money.
Defining Your Risks
Please keep in mind the following factors when considering this investment. Your
financial professional will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
o The Portfolio is designed for investors who can assume the risks associated
with equity investments, and may not be appropriate for investors seeking
capital preservation or high current income.
o There can be no assurance that the Portfolio will meet its objective, that
dividend rates will be maintained, that stock prices will not decrease or
that the Portfolio will outperform the Indices.
o The value of your investment will fluctuate with the prices of the underlying
stocks. Stock prices can be volatile.
o These stocks may have higher yields because they or their industries are
experiencing financial difficulties or are out of favor. There can be no
assurance that the market factors which caused these relatively low prices
and high yields will change.
o Stocks are chosen for characteristics such as value, which may be at odds
with those of the stocks driving the market at a given time.
Tax Reporting
When seeking capital appreciation, managing tax liability on capital gains can
be vital to your overall return. By holding this Fund for more than one year,
8
<PAGE>
individuals may be eligible for favorable federal tax rates on net long-term
capital gains (currently no more than 20%).
Generally, dividends and any gains will be subject to tax each year, whether or
not reinvested. However, on rollovers to future Portfolios, if available,
investors will defer recognition of gains and losses on stocks that are
transferred to the new Portfolio. Please consult your tax advisor concerning
state and local taxation.
Defining Your Costs
You pay an initial sales charge of about 1% the first time you buy. In addition,
you pay a deferred sales charge of $17.50 per 1,000 units, about 1.75%, deducted
over the last ten months of the Portfolio.
As a % of Public Amount per
Offering Price 1,000 Units
Initial Sales Charge 1.00% $10.00
Deferred Sales Charge 1.75% $17.50
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maximum Sales Charge 2.75% $27.50
Estimated Annual Expenses
(as a % of net assets) .205% $2.03
Estimated Organization Costs $0.96
If you sell your units before the termination date, the remaining balance of
your deferred sales charge will be deducted, along with the estimated costs of
selling Portfolio securities, from the proceeds you receive. If you roll over to
a successor Portfolio, if available, the initial sales charge on that Portfolio
will be waived. You will only pay the deferred sales charge.
Volume Purchase Discounts
For larger purchases, the overall sales charges are reduced to put more of your
investment dollars to work for you.
