The above notice used a Peignot font. The other text reads:

in the Bauhaus font. In long credit rolls, the second notice was split between the Carruthers Company notice (which only reads "A CARRUTHERS COMPANY PRODUCTION") and the WBTV credit.

'''Technique:''' None.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The end theme plays while either one of the two in-credit notices shown above appears on the screen. On the unsold 1974 pilots for ''Big Spenders'', the announcer says, "This has been a Carruthers Company production, in association with NBC."

'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. The in-credit text for the Carruthers Company and Warner Bros. Television appeared on three short-lived game shows: ''The Neighbors'', ''Give-N-Take'', and ''Second Chance'', all of which were not preserved due to network practices at the time. The Carruthers/ABC text is seen on the un-aired 1975 pilot for ''Beat The Odds''. This made its first known appearances on two pilots for ''Big Spenders'', taped for NBC in October 1974.
