CANDY MACHINES CREATE BUSINESS
The phenomenal growth and popularity of
candy sales machines has made merchandise
vending history. The service rendered is basically
sound. Public acceptance was quick, and public
appreciation for the convenience assures future
growth.
A typically successful operation is that of the
K-C Vending Company, of Chicago. An official
of the company tells why his firm operates candy
machines in the article on page 20.
According to their experience, and after inves
tigation, they found that— “selling by means of
vending machines opens up new outlets. This is
not taking the business away from the retailer,
for there is a large demand for candy in indus
trial plants, and if the employees are not able to
obtain candy while working, they will go without
it. (The candy bar not bought now won’t be
bought later.) As employees are not often al
lowed to leave the plant or floor, they can’t buy
candy unless the candy is available right ivhere
they work.”
That’s conclusive proof that you can increase
the sales volume from each machine by placing
the machine where it is most convenient.

Cigarette vending operators are directly inter
ested in the story on page 22, “Manufacturers’
Prices for Cigarettes Halted by Ceiling at Decem
ber Figures.” The governmental action to stabil
ize merchandise prices has a salutory effect on
the operation of machines. Constantly changing
prices for cigarettes means more and more un
productive work.
Stabilized prices for merchandise is a desirable
achievement for operators. With a ceiling on
prices of merchandise the work of readjusting
machines is eliminated.
The extent of the control over merchandise cost
by the Price Administrator no doubt will be de
veloped in keeping with the war economy. Our
government is vitally concerned with the problem
of prices and costs. In view of the unprecedented
task ahead of our nation, stabilization of prices
and costs is a necessary part of the program.
