BLUE BIRD SALES CORP. BACK IN
FIELD W IT H TW O N EW MACHINES
. The Blue Bird Sales Corp. are
^troducing in this issue two
machines of merit, first,
e “Try-It,” a five-cent dice
Machine of attractive and light
a ’-steel construction and sell-
at a very reasonable price,
heir second is the new and im-
jf°ved Blue Bird Automatic
Target, a penny vender of
established merit, now equipped
Wlth special features. W e were
specially attracted by the auto
matic register attachment that
cunts the pennies as they are
Played. This is quite a time
s i n g feature and permits the
operator to keep accurate check
on the earnings of each location.
This special feature is only add
ed on request, but seems well
worth the difference in price.
Both machines are equipped
with improved slug rejectors
and are made very attractive
by art metal crackle finish in
shades of blue.
Mr. E. H.
Watcher, General Manager of
the Corporation at
Kansas
City, advises that their organi
zation
has
been
materially
strengthened and that they are
now in position to handle large
volume of business.
