this time. It appears to be an­ for the product. The A u t o ­

such methods as the Ohio As­

effort to secure business for this
particular company. It is not
necessary for any manufacturer
of coin machines to be told what
lock to install on his machine.
Such tactics used against repu­

company using such tactics, as
being a chiseler of the lowest
class. Certainly such methods
are not wanted in the industry.
Manufacturers are far too in­
telligent and foresighted as to
listen to the petty attacks of a
chiseling company. A local as­
sociation should never allow it­
self to become involved in. such
controversies, which cast a
blemish upon our reliable com­
panies.
All parties concerned in this
case know to whom we refer,
so this one warning should
prove to be sufficient.
