operators read the Automatic Age each month. Some of our com
petitor friends, such as the Billboard, a splendid publication, by
the way, tell (that we cannot have over 500 circulation, judging
•from the rate we charge. Some publishers, as well as some manu
facturers, have told us that we could get as high as $3.00' per year
subscription rate, yet we stick to the popular price o f $1.00. Fur
thermore, if it were not that we have our own printing plant
a*id have no high salaried officials sitting around, we would have
to charge double our present advertising rates. Our idea is to
serve the trade at the lowest cost and give round value for the
ttioney. W e believe every manufacturer represented on our pages
ls a reliable concern. From time to time we have dropped adver
tisers against whom we have received complaints. Many times
We have been able to save operators considerable money when
they wrote to us asking about the reliability of concerns to whom
they are about to send money.
This is the la^t issue of our second year, and it might be of
1Jiterest to the coin-controlled trade to know that the Automatic
Age is often referred to in the publishing business as an outstand-
lng success in a very short period of time. It is hard to imagine
that only two years ago this industry was without an organ of
any kind. W e are glad to have been able to represent it, and
value highly the associations we have made in this interesting
field.
