PLAN POSTW AR JOBS - NOW
Many successful operators
and manufacturers of pre-war
days will be the backbone of
the greater coin machine in­
dustry of tomorrow. Although
operators’ routes m a y have
been curtailed to meet the prob­
lems of war conditions, a n d
while manufacturers a r e en­
gaged in all-out war produc­
tion, operators and manufactur­
ers are alert to the post-war
opportunities of this industry.
Planning folr the future is
always hard work — so many
reasons always seem to exist
for delaying until more can be
known. However, it is more im­
perative now than ever before
to do everything that can be
done to lay out the objectives
of a business and determine all
the possibilities for creating
new opportunities.
B l a z i n g the trail on the
theme of “Plan Postwar Jobs—
Now” is The Committee for
Economic Development. It is
an independent, private, non­
profit corporation financed en­
tirely by contributions from in­
dividual businesses. Its board
of trustees are the leaders of
American industrial life. The
sole purpose of this group is to
aim at high levels of productive
e m p l o y m e n t . That is an
achievement of direct interest
to the coin machine industry,
in two ways:
First, the coin machine in­
dustry should raise its sights as
to the number of persons which
it will gainfully employ in the
postwar period.
Second, the coin machine in­
dustry stands to benefit great­
ly by a high total of those gain­
fully employed in all industries.
Time is always short. In pre­
paring for the future m u c h
valuable time can be saved by
having a basic approach to the
general problem of how to go
about making more extensive
and thoroughgoing plans.
The ideal approach cannot
be formulated for every opera­
tor a n d manufacturer. T h e
ideal result is the one that suits
each particular business. The
following outline is the frame­
work which will help one to
get started early and quickly:

1. What were net sales, or
unit production, in 1940?
The answer to this question
will provide you with b a s i c
background data. 1940 was the
last full peacetime year. It is
the base from which operating
volume and production for fu­
ture peacetime years should be
calculated. You will want to
study and analyze these figures.
Keep your 1940 figures in mind
as your base capacity.
2. Assuming t h a t general
conditions after the war justify
a confident forward outlook, to
what capacity and production
volume should you plan?
3. Are there any machines
or products or services which
you should abandon perman­
ently? Which ones expand and
develop? Are there any ma­
chines or services discarded or
set aside for further consider­
ation?
4. What n e w products or
services are in the development
stages that could be put on the
market when civilian produc­
tion is possible?
5. W h a t investigation do
you need to make now of profit­
able or likely markets for new
products or services you could
add to your line, or of new mar­
kets for products or services
already in your line?
6. Can your present person­
nel develop the future of your
business? (People build busi­
nesses.) Can your present force
service your postwar routes or
make your postwar products?
If not, what type of workers
will you need?
For obvious reasons e v e r y
effort should be made to build
up cash reserves for the post­
war period. A practical plan
for the future takes into ac­
count the capital needed to re­
habilitate equipment, purchase
new equipment, s u p p l y the
equipment, a n d maintain it
long enough to reach its maxi­
mum earning capacity.

AMERICAN FIGHTERS . . . men of the free, fun-loving
breed for whom Bally games were created . . . are now
blasting the enemy out of the sky and sea with the aid of.
war-products manufactured by the B a l l y organization.
Today Bally's only task is to help the Army and Navy
fight for America's "life and liberty." But, when America
turns again to "the pursuit of happiness," bank on Bally
Games and Venders to be in the forefront of post-war
prosperity.
Operators and distributors who want early information on
Bally's post-war eguipment are urged to place their name
on a special mailing list now being compiled for Bally's
Post-War Flash No. 1.
