Jimmy Cante of W. J. C. Vending Com­
pany tells me that he is going to reopen a
branch in Newark, New Jersey, to serve
once more the friends he has there. He is
very enthusiastic with the New Master
Vender, put on the market by the Norris
Manufacturing Company, for whom he is

Jimmy, is absolutely foolproof and will not
take slugs of any description.

The industry is beginning to sit up and
take notice of the new entry to the coin
machine trade, America’s Only Girl Job­
ber, Claire Grant, of the Roxy Vending
Company. Claire is a sound business wo­
man and has just returned from Chicago,
where she placed orders for the latest ma­
chines displayed there. Located in the heart
of New York City, the Roxy Vending Com­
pany is well situated to take care of the
needs of operators.
The Famill Corp. had a very successful
showing of its line at the show and of
special interest was the “ Automatic Li­
brary,” the almost human machine as it is
called. A drink dispensing machine dis­
played by Famill served beer to all who
desired it, and their name was legion, and
what with repeal being on everyone’s
tongue, the newsreel men came down to take
shots of the machine in action.
