Automatic Age

Issue: 1941 May

et's look inside the cabinet, fo r al
though The Rowe President has often
been called, "Most beautiful cig arette
machine ever built," a good machine
must o ffer much more than a ttra c tiv e
appearance.
A good machine must be built strong, so
th a t it w ill give dependable perform ­
ance and depreciate slowly. It must be
------
constructed simply, so th a t there is
little chance fo r trouble and so that adjustments can be made easily. It must provide every
fea tu re demanded by today's operating requirements and it must anticipate possible
changes in the future which, otherwise, would obsolete the equipment.
When you buy The Rowe President, you get all this — and more. You get a machine th a t is
built fo r tom orrow as well as today, and which has already proved — by actual use in thou­
sands of locations — that it possesses the most precise performing mechanism ever cre­
ated fo r cig arette merchandising.
These factors mean money to you; therefore,when you buy equipment, bear them in mind.
"X -ray" the machines th a t interest you . . . look a t the mechanism as well as the cabinet
. . . and always remember, " If it's Rowe-built, it's w ell-built!"
