T h e A u t o m a t ic A ge
Four-Story
Building Purchased
,
Messrs. H. H. Landay and R. E.
Everson o f the Pioneer Automatic
Merchandising Corporation, Detroit,
paid the A U T O M A T IC AGE office a
pleasant call recently. They report
excellent business conditions fo r
their company, and that in its ex­
pansion program a four-story build­
ing has recently been purchased.
The company plans to put a very at­
tractive and unusual display and ex­
hibition room o f their products in the
new building. The management is
now busy with the planning o f an ex­
tensive advertising program which
will be launched in the early fall.
W e regret to learn that the firm o f
the National Candy Coated Products
Company o f Brooklyn, was complete­
ly wiped out by fire on July the
third.
Catalogs of Coin­
Controlled Machines
for New Zealand
The W ellington, New Zealand,
office o f the Bureau o f Foreign and
Domestic Commerce has asked fo r
complete
information,
including
terms, c.i.f. prices, and catalogs, con­
cerning all types o f coin controlled
machines.
The New Zealand Supreme Court
has just handed down a decision ac­
cording to which the use o f vending
machines does not violate any exist­
ing laws governing the closing hours
o f shops. A demand fo r vending ma­
chines is expected as a result o f this
decision.
Interested firms should address A s­
sistant Tracje Commissioner Charles
F.
Kunk«t,
Dominion
Building,
Wakefield Street, Wellington, New
Zealand.

Catalogs and other sales literature
to enter duty free, must omit names
o f New Zealand importers or dealers
and should be mailed in very limited
quantities.
New Zealand Accepts
the Vending Machine
The coin-operated vending machine
has not been in great demand in
New Zealand in the past because its
legal status had not been defined.
Many courts o f jurisdiction main­
tained that vending machines were
subject to the law governing the
closing hours o f shops.
However,
the Supreme Court o f New Zealand
has just handed down a decision to
the effect that the use o f vending ma­
chines does not violate existing laws,
according to a cable from Assistant
Trade Commissioner C. F. Kunkel,
Wellington.
This decision should
create a demand fo r all types o f
vending machines, and American
manufacturers desiring to enter the
New Zealand market should submit
complete data on their products to
the American Trade Commissioner at
Wellington.
What a Spare Copy
Will Sometimes Do
Mr. Hans Henry Kahrs o f London,
Ontario, writes that a friend sent him
a several months old copy o f A U T O ­
M A TIC AGE, and that in spite o f its
staleness he found it so interesting
that he wanted a late copy.
Mr.
Kahrs plans an extensive business
trip to various European counti’ies in
August or September and has receiv­
ed many inquiries from European
friends who are interested in Am er­
ican coin operated machines. He
will visit the Leipzig fair on his trip
and expects to meet many manu­
facturers fi’om Germany, Austria and
other European countries there.
