Automatic Age

Issue: 1943 January

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.

CANDY ON PLANES
Adoption of dextrose candy
to replace other refreshments
and conserve space and weight
on transport planes has been
announced by Transcontinent­
al and Western Air Inc., in co­
operation with Curtiss Candy
Company, as a result of the
successful use of dextrose as
food in supplying energy and
slacking t h i r s t for United
States soldiers on war fronts.
The dextrose candy, tested
for m o n t h s by the United

Corps, is contained in the new
K-Ration, for the armed forces.
Each item in the K-Ration, in­
cluding meat, biscuit, coffee,
and dextrose, is condensed and
the dextrose tablets have be­
come one of the essentials of
the “iron” meals because they
keep soldiers’ mouths moist
and provide the sugar one’s
body uses directly for energy.
As a result of the Army tests,
TW A’s adoption of dextrose
candy has cut considerably its
stock of former refreshments
provided passengers and thus
is able to add more space for
war passengers and mail. The
candy, in malted milk and lem­
on flavor, is being served by air
hostesses on each flight and is
available on request of passen­
gers at any time.
“We are endeavoring to pro­
vide every ounce of space pos­
sible on our planes for war
cargo, and adoption of dextrose
candy gives us just that much
more,” said Charles Williams,
superintendent for the airline,
“besides, the candy is an ex­
cellent refreshment.”

A traveler on the Milwaukee
Railroad was giving the dining
car waiter his order. “And for
desert”, he said, “I ’ll have
some plum pudding and cof­
fee”.
“I ’m sorry, sir”, said the
waiter. “We don’t have any
plum pudding”.
“W hat!” cried the passen­
ger, “You don’t have any plum
pudding? That’s absurd. My
man, I am one of your biggest
customers. I ship hundreds of
c a r l o a d s o f freight every
month. And once, once!— when
I travel on your line I can’t get
what I want to eat. I ’ll take
this up with the management.
I ’ll go to the top”.
The s t e w a r d interceding,
called the waiter aside. “When
we stop in Milwaukee in a few

minutes”, he said, “we’ll get a
plum pudding. Tell the chef to
make h a r d sauce and serve
some of the good brandy with
it”. It was done. Just out of
Milwaukee the waiter reap­
peared at the customer’s side,
smiling proudly.
“Well, sir”, he said, “I ’m
happy to tell you that we have
the plum pudding, and the chef
has been working all the way
on the sauce. He hopes you’ll
like it. And with it, with the
compliments of the line, we
would like to serve you this 50
year old brandy”.
The waiter paused for the
expected result. The customer
paused, too, to digest this new
development. Then he threw
his napkin on the table with a
gesture of fiery defiance.
“The hell with it!” he said.
“I ’d rather be mad”.

Jack Nelson Originates
New Patriotic Song Hit
Early in 1942, Jack Nelson,
vice president and general sales
manager of Rock-Ola Manu­
facturing Corporation, created
the “Ring The Bell for Uncle
Sam” D e f e n s e Stamp mer­
chandising idea f o r M u s i c
Operators. This plan has pro­
ven to be the most successful
of all plans to sell Bonds and
Stamps through the medium
of the coin-operated phono­
graph. In fact, Henry Morgen-
thau’s Treasury Department
wrote Jack a letter commend­
ing him upon the plan. In many
sections of the country, the
automatic phonograph in num­
erous locations is selling 50 to
150 25^ Stamps every week
through the “Ring The Bell”
idea.
Now Art Kassel and Blue­
bird, in tribute to the nation­
wide popularity of the idea,
have produced a record entitl­
ed “RING THE BELL FOR
UNCLE SAM”. Jack Nelson’s
name is on the record.
