July , 1931
A utomatic A gf
D. Robbins & Company of ,Brooklyn,
N. Y ., have just taken over the exclusive
New England States sales rights for the
Scoop machine, manufactured in Ingle
wood, Calif., by the Automatic Games Com
pany. The Scoop is a windmill type toy
and candy vendor. It is equipped with a
slug ejector and has many other features
that operators will appreciate. D. Robbins
& Company predict that the Scoop will
sell bigger than any other similar machine
on the market.
The Burrows Automatic Supply Com
pany of London are actively advertising
the machines whichy they have for the
English trade.
They claim to offer the
largest selection of automatic machines in
Great Britain. A recent advertisement had
illustrations of the Midget Racer, Premier
Skill, All-Skill Shooting Machine, Minia
ture Golf Course, Human Analyst, Crystal
Gazer and Star and Stripes machines.
Quite a number of the English firms
seem to be busy warning competitors
against infringing on their patents.
Or
else, is that just an English way of adver
tising. Most of the current advertisements
of machines say little about the machine,
except to warn against infringements.
The reports of eight 5 and 10c stores
for the month of June show a very credit
able increase in business. This would in
dicate that nickels and dimes are still
circulating freely, and vending machines
ought to get their due share of them.
When it comes to re-conditioned vend
ing machines, D. Robbins & Company of
Brooklyn report that they have on hand
always from 200 to 300 assorted machines,
such
as peanut venders, Whirlwinds,
A . B. T. targets, etc.
Operators should
make it a habit to drop in at D. Robbins
& Company whenever they are on the look
out for bargains in used machines. The
large stock carried offers a chance for selec
tion and promises a bargain price.
The American Chewing Products Com
pany of Newark, N. J. are announcing an
attractive premium proposition in this issue.
On orders for a certain quantity of ball
gum, they will give free a Lohmuller
Penny King vender made to retail at $4.00.
