J. W. Fitzgerald, Sioux
Novelty Company, of S o u t h
Dakota must have h a d t h e
gasoline rationing plan in mind
when he sent in his “buck” for
renewal of subscription and
penned the f o l l o w i n g note:
“Here is hoping— have a swal­
low of gasoline on me, or I
should say a smell. At any rate
‘more power to you’.” That’s
the “V” spirit, old-timer. With
it you are bound to continue to
be a bigger and better opera­
tor.

“BUCK” FOR GAS!
From among the many loyal
subscribers to Automatic Age,
there come many encouraging
sentiments. They’re all appre­
ciated. Then there is the sense
of humor which these coin ma­

NEW FORMS HELP
OPERATORS COMPLY
• To serve operators with their
war-time requirements f o r
keeping records r e q u i r e d by
the f e d e r a l l a w , Charles
Fleischmann, of the Baltimore
Salesbook Co., 120 West 42nd
St., New York City, has devel­
oped items which will h e l p
operators comply with the law.
A new form V-55 is a simple
V i c t o r y Tax Record Book
whereby the operator can keep
a complete record of all salar­
ies and wages paid his employ­
ees, as well as deductions from
each week’s pay check. The
5% Victory Tax became effect­
ive January 1, 1943. Every em­
ployee earning over $12 a week
must receive a receipt for in­
come including tax and other
deductions. Form V-55 is a
simple and inexpensive method
to keep such a record..
Another is the Daily Truck
Report Pad to be used with the
operator’s Certificate of War
N e c e s s i t y . The Office of
D e f e n s e Transportation re­
quires a record of the daily use
of each commercial vehicle.
You and your service men will
find this pad particularly help­
ful to substantiate claims for
needed gasoline and tires.
Form “H ”, the H a n d y s e t
Location Agreement, is proving
very valuable and timely due
to Federal Taxes, and the new
F e d e r a l Tax on all phono­
graphs. This Location Agree­
ment form has a tax clause in
it. More operators are taking
advantage of war conditions
to insist on written signed a­
greements for one or two years
at more equitable terms, con­
sidering higher operating costs.
Information, descriptive cir­
culars, and prices on the above,
and other forms used by opera­
tors will be sent on request by
Mr. Fleischmann. Write to him
at 120 WTest 42nd Sreet., New
York City.

MANY LADY WORKERS
A large percentage of wo­
men workers are employed in
the Rock-Ola factory. In most
cases the woman worker has
a son, brother, h u s b a n d , or
other close relative in the
armed forces, a n d therefore
feels that she, too, is doing her
daily bit toward winning the
war. Rock-Ola is one of the
largest concerns in the coin
machine industry, and started
negotiating for their first war
contract over two years ago.
Today the entire plant has been
converted to war production.

Originates New System
The versatility of Dave Rob­
bins, well-known in coin ma­
chine industry, located at 152
West 42nd St., New York City,
is overcoming priorities and
other war-time restrictions. He
has originated a n e w i t e m
which can be sold by operators
as a side line. This item can be
sold to every cigar store and
counter, stationery store, drug
store, and novelty shop, for re­
sale purposes. There is a large
margin of profit for both the
operator and the retail mer­
chant. Robbins has an attrac­
tive proposition, with exclusive
selling rights granted to pro­
ducers.
