45 States Taboo Public
Drinking Gups
'
Forty-five states have decided
against the common drinking
glass at public gathering places.
And no wonder, when experi­
ences similar to the following,
as reported by the Chicago De­
partment of Health, are being
found throughout the country.
This health bureau put twenty
commonly-used glasses under a
microscope for examination; of
these, nine were taken from
schools, three from hotels, five
from railroad depots, two from
stores and one from a children’s
home.
On the rims of these glasses
were found traces of pneumo­
nia, influenza, diphtheria and
other diseases.

On July 20th the Blue Ribbon
Gum Co., Inc., of Brooklyn, N.
Y ., wrote us as follows: “ . . It
might interest you to know that
although the July issue has only
been out several days, we have
already received a number of
telegrams and letters in refer­
ence to the agency for the Blue
Ribbon Machines.” That makes
us happy, too.

it to the Mississippi valley.— San

COIN CONTROLLED GARAGE
IS THE LATEST M ACH INE
Chicago was introduced to its
rst “automatic” auto hostelry
^ith the opening of the Wacker-
abash garage, in the Pure Oil
aiding, Chicago. The garage,
^ere the patron merely drives
UP> inserts a key in a lock and
Gts niachinery do the rest, has
a opacity of 600 cars, occupy-
***£ the south frontage of 23
of the building.
R- A. Whitney, manager of
e new garage, explained its
w°i'kings. Through electrically
g r a t e d contrivances the car
l0]ls, by force of gravity, from
an entrance platform on to an
elevator which automatically
carries it to a designated floor,
and automatically rolls it out.
The pressing of a button is all
that is necessary to bring the
car back to the owner on
the ground floor. The elevator
mounts to the proper floor,
takes the car on board and
brings it down.
C. W . Ruth, an electrical en­
gineer, is given the credit for
designing and building the au­
tomatic machinery with which
the garage is equipped.

f*°n. I do not think this term
ls used to conserve space. I
W°uld be pleased to know your
^Pinion regarding this question.
. ^ a y be just a bit old fash­
ioned, though I believe not. I
ave only been in the vending
Usiness a short while.
Would be pleased if you could
Ui'nish me with some authori-
ative data regarding the pjac-
and earnings of weighing
^ales in business doorways, etc.
as not the free weighing
s£ales rendered the penny ma­
chine somewhat obsolete? .
Thanking you for any and all

keeping the machines in order
and clean and then they will
have not had to complain that
sales are falling off, and want to
sell their routes because of poor
business.
The manufacturers
and jobbers know what is re­
quired of them to make a go of
the game for application of
common sense usually brings a
measure of success to all of us.
