Harry Brown Writes for
Locks but Omits Address
A manufacturer of locks for
coin operated machines recent­
ly received an inquiry for 100
locks but he neglected to put
his address on his letter. Obvi­
ously the factory cannot send
the desired information. Auto­
matic Age has several “ Harry
Brown” subscribers, and it may
be possible that one of them is
the party who asked for a price
on the 100 locks. If “ Harry
Brown” is still interested in ob­
taining t h e information re­
quested, we suggest that he
send his address direct to the
factory.

gener as president. He succeeds
Edmund F. Mair, who resigned
that post to form his own bus­
iness. The CM AC is a special­
ized credit and financing agen­
cy for manufacturers and dis­
tributors of coin o p e r a t e d
machines.
Mr. W aggener expressed his
belief in a great future for the
coin operated machine industry
but stressed the need of re­
straining the general impres­
sion held by many people that
the i n d u s t r y is a “ get-rich-
quick proposition.” He believes
that this country offers a real
opportunity for anyone willing
to put in honest effort in brain
power or labor, and under such
conditions, offers a fair return
on any money properly invest­
ed.
The CM AC offices are locat­
ed at 134 North La Salle Street,
Chicago.

White House Cig Vendor
The cigarette shortage has
hit the White House along with
the rest of the country. Presi­

reporters that he is burning up

Downstairs at a vending ma­

ettes, there wasn’t a pack in
sight.
