Unique Locations
SALIDA, COLORADO (RC) -R. C.
Horning, local operator, lays claim to
having the most unusual machine locatioi:is
in the West, by reason of forty spots m
the district. Salida is a historic railroad
town, at the upper end of the famous Royal
Gorge, and attracts thousands of tourists
and fishermen each summer.
Horning's most amazing location is two
peanut and candy vendors atop Tenderfoot
Hill, rising 1000 feet at one end of the
city's main street. To reach this spot, tour-
ists must circle a spiral drive of eight
miles, over a tortuous road less than eight
feet wide, which brings them to a point
directly overlooking the city.
The vendors here did not pay off at
once, and it was not until a drinking foun-
tain, connected with the city system, was
installed, that they began to profit. _!If ow
both outsell more prominent machines in
the streets below. They are serviced once
weekly, and are as well known as the hill
itself.
Other spots of interest are Princeton,
where a beautiful hotel was built at a cost
· of a quarter-million dollars, now used only
• as a dance hall; and Saguache, highest
. point of the southern Rockies. In addition,
ther.e , is the Royal Gorge Bridge, 25 miles

COIN MACHINE REVIEW

Los Angeles



















from Salida, where a dozen of Homing's
machines are concentrated, An estimated
20,000 visitors come to the 1200-foot sus-
pension bridge during the short three-
month summer season.
At Crooked Bend, a water-stop for trains
ascending the Gorge, Horning has installed
eight vendors, for the benefit of customers
leaving the train to "stretch their legs."
The forty vendors in Homing's chain
extend over an eighty-mile route, and keep
him busy eight hours a day during the
summer season. In spite of the arduous
duties of servicing them, Horning has kept
the machines steadily profitable for the last
five years.

Western Vending Machine
Operators' Association
Presldent--J. H. SCOTT, 1928 Montrose, Los
Angeles, Fitzroy 5369; V/c:e-Presldent-F. W .
STRAW; Secretary--J. C . SMUCK, 201 South
Witmer; Treasurer-CLAUDE HUIZING .
Vacation time took a heavy toll in the
ranks of the Western Vending Machine
Operators' Association when the organiza-
tion held its July meeting at the Gates
Hotel. All the "old regulars" were present
and the meeting was carried on by Presi-
dent Scott with his usual efficiency.
Although no special program of enter-
tainment was arranged, the usual business
meeting was held for the discussion of
operating problems. The most important
matter discussed was the present problem
of taxation. Work is going forward to bring
about a reasonable understanding of taxa-
tion on vending machines.
It was brought out that if an unfair tax
is assessed, operators will evade it if pos-
sible and that it will work a severe hard-
ship on operators and will bring small
benefit to the city.
,
A definite program is being prepared for
a vigorous drive for new members during
the corning year. President Scott urges all
members, as well as operators who are not
members, to attend the regular meetings in
order to bring about a complete under-
standing of vending problems.
The next meeting of the Association will
be held August 29 at the Gates Hotel. ♦
Evans Readies New
Skill Bowling
CHICAGO-Enthusiasm runs high at
the H. C. Evans Company where finishing
touches are being placed on a new minia-
ture bowling alley to be marketed by the
firm this fall.
The alley, measuring about five or six
feet and half as wide is a real skill game.
Operator can not only control the speed of
the ball but also the direction so he can
make spares, strikes, etc. The score is
automatically recorded to save any argu-
ments. Formal announcement of the game
will be made shortly.
