We have heard that a Chicago concern
plans a chain of motor bus stations to span
the country from coast to coast. Each sta­
tion will be modern, and a modern cafe,
comfort stations, etc., will be part of the
arrangement.
Inventions and new ideas seem to have
a way of coming to those who are financial­
ly unable to promote their developments
successfully. We know of a bottled drink
dispenser and an ice cream vender avail­
able for some manufacturer or sales or­
ganization waiting to promote such devices
on a national scale.
T a v e rn e tte G r o w s
Coca-Cola is getting some desirable busi­
ness in Chicago through the medium of the
Tavernette, a coin dispensing machine.
These machines have been placed at many
of the miniature golf courses operating in
the Windy City, at the race tracks and
at other points where the public is prone
to congregate in large numbers.
The Tavernette Corporation, manufac­
turer of the machine, is confining its con­
tacts to dealers at present, but may deal
with manufacturers later. Its vending ma­
chine is equipped with an automatic refrig­
erating unit, which keeps the bottle and its
"ontents properly cooled until they are
wanted.
The company planned to install Taver-
nettes in factories in Chicago to vend
milk, but determined opposition from the
milk drivers’ union caused it to change its
mind for the present.
The Snax Corporation, of Detroit, is in­
stalling ten-cent vending machines in apart­
ment houses and elsewhere. A number of
manufacturers are now putting up special
ten-cent packages for use in this and other
machines.

The modern drug store is so arranged
that its customers circulate.
In other
words, the “demand” and low-margin mer­
chandise, the wrapping-counter and cash
register are placed in the back part of the
store. People don’t mind walking in the
back part of the store to get the things
they really need, and while they are walk­
ing back they notice things they want but
