YOU DON’T HAVE TO ADVERTISE...BUT...
AUTOMATIC AGE maintains information files that are as complete as we can make them.
Hundreds of letters are received each month from operators and prospective operators asking
where they can buy suitable equipment. We consider it a privilege to answer these inquiries
as completely as possible.
Naturally, we appreciate the fact that the largest and most successful coin machine firms
advertise all their new offerings in AUTOM ATIC AGE. It saves us a lot of correspondence
since practically all professional operators are regular readers of AUTOM ATIC AGE.
Naturally, however, these successful firms do not advertise simply to save our time— they con­
sider word-of-mouth advertising a bit too slow in the successful merchandising of coin machines.
And N AT U RALLY, we are only human. When we recommend machines to prospective
buyers, there is more than a slight possibility that we M IG H T favor our regular advertisers.
Final Forms for the A pril issue will close
