Years ago, operators asked
each other why the vending ma
chine manufacturers did not
make equipment that was pretty
instead of like “ a sawed off
water hydrant.”
At the time operators werf
asking this question, the answer
was obvious. Beautiful vending
machines cost quite a bit of
money, and operators wanted to
buy “ at a price.”
Today, all of that has changed.
There isn’t a single vending ma
chine on the market that doesn’t
look pretty. They have all been
greatty improved and represent
value that in the old days would
have cost plenty.
Modern vendors are every
thing that an operator could pos
sibly ask for in the way of
beauty, the beautiful thinj about
it all is that these modern ven
dors are easily within the price
range of any operator. It’s just
a case of greater beauty—
greater value— less cost.

Some years ago, a Rock-Ola
phonograph distributor from
Florida presented the Rock-Ola
Manufacturing Corporation with
a real live baby alligator. He was
only twelve inches long.
Came the sad day when the
alligator had to go. The boys
took him out to the Lincoln
Park Zoo and turned him loose
with the grand-daddy alligators.
The other day, one of ye edi
tors happened to be at the zoo
and asked the keeper there if he
remembered the famous Rock-
Ola snapping alligator of some
years back.
Imagine—he not
only remembered it, he could
display it.
Turned out that soon after the
little feller was dropped into the
pond, his tail was snapped off by
a brother alligator who didn’t
take to him. He was marked for
life!
