D. Robbins Has New
Premium Plan
turn hands them over to the opera­
tor. On his next call the operator de­
livers the premium desired.
To stimulate the sale of gum
through the Stick Gum Vendor which
they have recently placed on the
market, D. Robbins & Company is
now utilizing the gum wrappers in a
novel premium redemption plan.
Printed slips showing two premium
items, adequately described and the
number of wrappers necessary to re­
deem them are issued to the operator
free of charge. These slips are in ­
serted on the face of the machine and
are therefore easily seen by the pur­
chasers. When a sufficient number
of wrappers have been saved they are
left w ith the location owner, who in
As the wrappers are not mailed, it
can be readily seen that an im portant
feature in the Robbins’ plan is the
elimination of the cost of m ailing the
premiums. In many plans this m ail­
ing cost is sometimes greater than
the value of the premium itself and
as the customer has to pay this cost,
the effectiveness of the plan is dim­
inished.
New slips are issued each month
featuring a new set of items, which
include cameras, watches, ping pong
sets, airplanes, cigarette lighters, etc.,
and the purchaser is given a wide va­
riety of premiums to select from.
A Contact with Us-
The following news item appeared
in a Buffalo, N. Y. newspaper:
Repeal of the 18th amendment ef­
fected many changes in business and
keen analysts hastened to note them.
But here is a new one:
The coin-operated phonograph busi­
ness has soared tremendously since
repeal.
In fact, so great are the demands
from restaurants, hotels, clubs, tav­
erns, cafes, and the like that the R u ­
dolph W urlitzer M anufacturing com­
pany, which fabricates them at M ar­
tinsville, cannot put them out fast
enough to fill the orders.
This was the disclosure of Homer
E. Capehart, general sales manager.
insures im m e d ia t e deliveries on
CO N T A CT and all other new
amusement machines.
Sales of the automatic phonographs
are undoubtedly abetted by improv­
ing business conditions, but repeal is
approximately 75 per cent responsi­
ble for the enormous increase, he
said. The sales are even better than
they were in 1928-9, he pointed out,
although the price of the instruments
is not as high.

!
The phonographs contain a number
of records. Insertion of any amount
of nickels, from one to 20, and selec­
tion of the records the depositor de­
sires played is all that is necessary.
From then on, until the nickels are
used, the phonograph plays continu­
ously and automatically.
The demand for radios and other
musical instruments also has jumped
since repeal, since establishments can
use them instead of employing orches­
tras and even make the patrons pay
for the music, Mr. Capehart asserted.

ness has increased from nothing to
its present state of thousands of or­

Incidentally, said Mr. Capehart,

than that of the first h a lf of March,
