Record Volume

01 business handled by
woman operator.
LOS ANGE LES.-There are many op-
erators servicing merchandise vending
machines who do not keep Cl careful
record of the merchandise-particularly
the bulk merchandise - which goes
through their machines, and who conse-
quently do not realize the magnitude of
this particular part of the vending ma-
chine business.
It will interest many operators to
know something of the volume of mer-
chandise handled in a year's time by a
full-time operator, and a woman opera-
tor at that. Women are sometimes re-
ferred to as the weaker sex, but this
woman is purchasing at the present
time for her route enough merchandise
each week that, when added up for a
year's period, the total figure will make
a good many men operators sit up and
take notice.
M. I. Slater of Mills-Viking Co. re-
ports that this lady moves ten tons of
ball gum and over ten tons of Boston
beans each year. Reduced to p ounds,
that means 40,000 pounds or m ore of
weight in merchandise. In addition the
route requires about 50 packs of toys
each m onth, or over 600 for the entire
year.
If operators generally w ould keep a
closer record of their merchandise pur-
chases they would have a much better
p icture of the v olume of their business,
plus a knowled ge of the amount o f
profit per pound they are m a king, and
they w ou ld realize more fully just h ow
•
g ood a business they are in.

records important.
DA YTON, O. (RC)-At a local book-
store Robert Lutes of W & L Service pur-
chased some wire hangers that are
proving valuable ih suspending sheets
on the wall announcing latest record
releases. By keeping each recording
firm 's announcement on a separate
hanger, with the "Hit Parade" sheet on
top, the office force may refer quickly
and easily to what is being offered.
W & L Service believes in keeping its
record file alive and up-to-date. The
Dayton firm is of the opinion that the
operator's waking moments can be
spent very profitably listening to rec-
ords, keeping his ears open for what
people on the street are whistling, and
agitating his brain as to what records
to put where in order to keep the nick-
els flowing into the machines.
"Don't think for a minute a location
proprietor isn't attentive to what rec-
ords you are putting on the machine,"
said Lutes. "He is aware of what tunes
are clicking at the moment, and he ex-
pects the operator to be just a little bit
ahead of him on this information. If he
feels y ou aren't keeping up with what
is g oing on in the w orld, or that you
aren't investing enough money in new
records, it is natural for him to lose in-
terest in y our machine."

SEATTLE. -Formerly head of the San
Francisco o ffice of the Jack R. Moore or-
ganiza tion , a nd p revious to that a pio-
neer operator in Portland, Arthur A.
Brant has joined the Lou Wolcher or-
ganization in the capacity of manager
of Western Distributors, Inc., in the
Northwest, with headquarters in Seattle .
Brant severed his connection with the
Moore organization some time ago,
leaving a host of friends there and in
San Francisco where he was always
known for his dependability and fair
dealing. Many of his business acquaint-
ances there developed into close per-
sonal friends. A trip to Australia, just
b efore his affiliation with the Moore
firm in San Francisco, resulted in a nice
export business to friends and accounts
there.
In Jommg the Wolcher Company
Brant looks forward to renewed suc-
cesses and anticipates a pleasant con-
nection with one of the largest firms on
the Coast.
