13-in-l Machine
A new machine that almost equals
Bryan’s 16 to 1 slogan is being ad­
vertised this month by the Premium
Novelty Works in the form of thir­
teen machines in one. It embodies
six different cards and four large
layouts in colors. It also has a pad­
dle wheel layout for raffles of candy,
turkeys, etc. This machine is a ball
gum vender, and is a legitimate trade
stimulator.
Operators are referred to their ad­
vertisement on page 58.
Automatic Punch Board
A real sensation in the trade
comes out in the form of an auto­
matic punch board put out by the
Bindner Company of Chicago, and
advertised on page 22 of this issue.
It is necessary to insert a coin in or­
der to punch the. board. It is certain­
ly a unique device which operators
will find can be linked up to their
business perfectly. The operators
have long looked for a board of this
kind, and they now have an oppor­
tunity to try it out just at the best
season of the year for punch boards.
Many operators tell us they are do­
ing a good business with the better
class of punch boards during the
holidays, and they operate them
right along with their vending ma­
chine route", often having them in
the same locations. This one looks
like a winner for the boys in the
punch board business.
