vices which the operator is interested
in buying. When manufacturers for
some reason do not answer letters it
works a hardship on operators who
have seen new machines in our
columns and who want more informa­
tion.
The least a manufacturer can do is
to notify this magazine or operators
who are interested in making pur­
chases what plans the company has
for marketing the particular machine
they have.
On January 28, we received this let­
ter which is typical of others.
For the last 90 days the
Tax
Eva
C o in
M a c h in e
Jou rn al
has taken the initiative in
compiling for the first time a compre­
hensive survey of the tax situation.
At no little expense the laws of every
state and over ISO principal cities in
the United States were carefully
studied and probed with a view to
relieving the operators of the country
of the unjust taxes many of them are
now paying.
Those of our readers who read the
article “ The Creeping Shadows” in
the December issue of our magazine
and the article entitled, “ The Industry
Needs an Equitable Basis for Munici­
pal Taxation,” in our January issue,
know how completely the C o in M a ­
c h in e J o u r n a l has gone into this
matter of unfair taxation.
Now we ask the cooperation of our
thousands of operator friends that we
might serve them better. We are re­
questing that you write us a personal
letter telling us just what the local tax
situation is in your community and
what you think could be done to im­
prove it.
At the convention to be held this
month at the Sherman Hotel in Chi­
cago steps will be taken to organize a
strong association with a view to ob­
taining better coordination between
the manufacturers and the operators
who are intensely interested in all
movements that affect them person­
ally.
The C o in M a c h in e J o u r n a l
stands ready to cooperate in any way
it can with the Manufacturers Asso­
ciation and the various operators
associations whoever they are or
wherever they may be. Should a bill
be proposed to the law makers or
license leviers in your community that
is unfair, notify us at once, arid we will
do everything in our power to organize
opposition against it.
T h e C o in M a c h in e J o u r ­
has offered this beauti­
ful cup to the exhibitor who
displays his merchandise and deco­
rates his booth in the most fitting
manner.
The
Cup
nal
From what we hear, various manu­
facturers are determined to win this
cup, and are keeping in constant touch
with what others are doing so that
they might go them one better.
The cup itself is of very high quality
and will look very well in anybody’s
salesroom, it will be a lucky day for
the one who wins it.
Another year rolls around
•/
tion " and the coin machine manu­
facturers and operators are
about to meet in convention at the
Sherman Hotel in Chicago. The Coin
Machine Journal knows that the man­
ufacturers who exhibit and the opera­
tors who attend will return to their
respective places of business with re­
newed energy and many new ideas
which they may be able to turn to
profitable use.
Many brilliant and prominent
speakers are scheduled to appear upon
the rostrum and no doubt will have
messages of great importance. Those
in attendance should not miss a meet­
ing.
Indications are that the Big Show
will surpass anything ever attempted
like it in this industry. The many
letters which we have received indicate
that most everybody will be there.
Manufacturers tell us that they have
received many letters with the same
assurance.
Gentlemen:
On December 15th, we wrote to the
(■
) Scale Company, in care o f your
office regarding their
) Scale. W e
have had no reply and as we are inter­
ested in hearing whether they are offer­
ing this scale to operators and distribu­
tors before consummating our plans for
1932, we would appreciate early advices
frojtn you as to the status of this com­
pany and your idea as to the cause o f
their delay in replying to our inquiry.
Very truly yours,
.
