Upholds Opinion Against
Smaller Sized Candy Bars
United States Supreme Court
opinion rendered in December
upheld the Appellate Court
decision and resultant injunc­
tion prohibiting violation of
OPA regulations relative to re­
ducing sizes of c a n d y b a r s
which sell at established prices
as formerly. The decision holds
that reduction in weight of
candy bars, without passing on
a commensurate reduction in
price, is in violation of OPA
price regulations. The OPA set

Plentiful Industrial Locations
for Vendors in Post-War
The opportunities for peanut
and candy and gum vendors in
the post-war era are bound to
be unlimited. The placing of
machines in the industrial field
alone will go a long way to
opening up thousands of new,
desirable locations. Of course,
industrial locations are not new
to the coin-operated machine
industry. Operators have ser­
viced such locations before the
war, and many have continued
their operation during the war.
Industrial plants have learn­
ed the value of conveniently
p l a c e d confection vendors.
Workers have found them a
source of satisfaction, obtain­
ing a mouthful of nourishment
in b e t w e e n meals and as a
“ topper” after mealtimes.
Following is a letter which
tells in its own story, and is sig­
nificant of the opportunities to
come for operators:

It has occurred to us that, as
publishers of Automatic Age,
you may be able to help us. W e
are looking for equipment sim­
ilar to the common peanut ven­
ding m a c h i n e , the type in
which you insert a coin, pull a
lever, and get a handful of pea­
nuts or candy. W e have in mind
putting several of this nature
into direct war work, and are
interested in o b t a i n i n g the
names and addresses of possi­
ble suppliers.
Please forward any informa­
tion you may have r e l a t i v e
these sources t o :
