Automatic Age

Issue: 1942 May

You have started—don’t quit,
and see how fast you get to your
goal. It is closer than you think.
Quit— and infinity separates you
from it. Continue— and before
the fever of your desire burns
out you will have reached it.
In your past, every goal you
ever achieved you proved to be
much closer than you thought.
Immediately on reaching it, you
surprised yourself at getting
there so soon, with so much
energy and courage left in you.
No goal you ever reached was
farther away than you figured.
The only ones that were far
away were those that you de­
serted entirely!
Here's a Combination to End
YOUR LOCK TROUBLES!
THE DUO LOCK

The Rock-Ola Music Girls won
the Chicago Spring Softball
Tournament late in April in the
International Amphitheatre,
Chicago. All Chicago news­
papers carried writeups of the
Tournament in deference to the
tremendous public interest in
Girls’ softball. Attendance at
Chicago Girls’ Softball Games in
1941 was 270,000 paid admis­
sions.
Rock-Ola Music Girls are
sponsored by Rock-Ola Manufac­
turing Corp., and for the 1942
season will have practically the
same lineup as in 1941 when
they won the Chicago Major
League Championship.
In the final game of the Spring
Softball Tournament, Lonnie
Stark, Rock-Ola star pitcher,
yielded only 3 hits, struck out 6,
and did not allow a base on balls
against U. S. Girls. The Rock-
Ola team received a handsome
trophy as symbol of the Spring
Championship, which was pre­
sented to David C. Rockola,
President of the Corporation fol­
lowing the final game.

CLUB RAISES FUNB WITH
VENDING MACHINES
Good publicity for the coin
machine industry is not lacking.
In Springfield, Illinois, the Amer­
ican Business Club’s campaign
to aid crippled children by rais­
ing funds through the penny
gum vending machines, has al­
ready purchased a movie ma­
chine for the children’s enjoy­
ment.
Pictures and stories appeared
in all of the local newspapers,
and smaller items about the
achievement have been carried
by the wire services to news­
papers all over the country.
The plan of the American
Business Club to raise funds
through penny gum machines
was exclusively reported in the
March, 1942 issue of Automatic
Age. The plan went into effect
early in February, and the suc­
cess of the plan is indicated by
the substantial purchase of the
movie equipment.
When its initial project is
having to do with children’s
care where there is a need and
funds are not available.
The gum vending machines
have been placed in office build­
ings, factories, departm ent
stores, hotels, taverns, filling sta­
tions, and other places of busi­
ness throughout Springfield.
Coin machines are aiding the
crippled children of Springfield.
The machines— more than 200 of
them, are on the job collecting
pennies every hour of the day
and night for the kids who didn’t

civic minded business men and
public officials that devote their
entire service program to the
welfare of crippled children.
They found coin machines to be
the answer to their money-rais­
ing problems. So the Club en­
