What About Bulk Merchandising
By R O Y TO RR
Bellyaching about the pres­
ent is always a fruitless and
aimless pastime; whereas con­
jecturing about the future is
always so much more satisfying
and progressive. W ell, w h a t
about the future of the bulk
merchandising field? W h a t
about the equipment we can
expect ? To what type of opera­
tions and operators can we look
forward ? *
I’ve been engaged in the bulk
merchandising machine field
for the past 35 years; and, it is
my firm belief that automatic
bulk merchandising will play
a vital role in the American
p o s t w a r economic scheme.
First of all, I’m certain we’ll
have thousands upon thousands
of young men who will engage
in this business as their liveli­
hood. A fter all, how many bus­

inesses are there in this coun­
try that offer the chance for
initiative, the f r e e d o m of
thought, the ambition present­
ed by the vending machine
field?
Don’t lose sight of the fact
that when our boys return from
foreign lands they will be men
used to living, thinking, and
acting independently. There is
no business that gives a man
the opportunity for independ­
ence offered by the vending
machine field.
W hat a b o u t locations? I
think that the trend will be
more and more toward indust­
rials. After all, America has
erected a mightier industrial
chain of enterprises than any­
one ever dreamed. Reconver­
sion will continue to employ
thousands of men and women
— especially women ; and, that
fact will make industrial oper­
ations exceptionally profitable
for the b u l k merchandising
operator.
Travel, especially by air, will
be the prevalent thought in
many minds. Transportation of
all types will be cheaper; and,
therefore, will attract hundreds
of thousands of people hereto­
fore unable to take advantage
of these facilities. Therefore,
terminal operations s h o u l d
boom.
