A utomatic A ge :
Since writing you several months ago,
I have moved from Knoxville to Atlanta,
and am about to complete the vending ma­
chine which I have been working on for
many months, Hope to have the machine
ready for demonstration within the next
Week or ten days.
This machine has been primarily de­
signed for an automatic store, but it will
be possible to sell it in single units to sell
any size package that is adaptable to auto­
matic selling.
W e have not decided on
what the price will be for the reason that
We have not decided on what kind of ma­
terial we will use in the final construction
° f the machine.
W e would like to have your opinion on
a machine that will perform perfectly the
following services: This machine will sell
three packages for a dime, or three pack­
ages for a quarater. I f so desired, it can
he adjusted so as to give away every fifth
package, or tenth package or whatever
dumber package it is desired to give away.
The machine when completed according to
our present plans, will be capable of handi­
n g from two to four different products
for every 12 inches in height. The ma­
chine can be built any length and any
height desired, in other words we can build
it to any specified requirements.

tion of any automatic vending machine,
slot machine, coin-box telephone, or other
receptacle, unless authorized so to do by
the owners, lessees, or licensees.
The ordinary vending machine is simply
a substitute for a human salesman in the
line of business in which used, and the
obtaining of money or property by false
pretenses is punishable by law.
This bill is not a revenue measure. Con­
gress by par. 29 of the District of Columbia
License Act of July 1, 1902, has defined
slot or automatic machines to be those by
which objects, pictures, or figured, are pre­
sented to public view, or musical or vocal
exhibition automatically given on the de­
posit of money or metal for the purpose of
taxation.
The purpose of the present bill is to pro­
tect specifically manufacturers of these
machines from the fraudulent use of their
receptacles.
In view of the fact that prosecutions un­
der this bill would be instituted by the
United States Attorney for the District of
Columbia, the bill was forwarded to that
official, who advises the Commissioners that
he is heartily in favor of the enactment of
the bill into law.
The Commissioners recommend favorable
action on the bill.
Very truly yours,

President, Board of Commissioners
of the District of Columbia

“ To make unlawful in the District of

lawful coins.”

and report.

$1.95 had been the previous low limit on
