plan anniversary
celebration.
NEW ARK.-Plans a lrea dy under way
for the second anniversary celebration
of the founding of the Cigarette Mer-
chandisers' Association of New Jersey,
Inc., to be held Sunday, February 19,
1939, a t the Hotel Robert Treat, here, in-
dicate tha t every effort will be made to
present this a ffair as the "most out-
standing success in the automatic ciga-
rette vend ing industry," and it is ex-
pected that attendance this year will
surpass that of last yea r's event.
Heading the committee of arrange-
ments for the celebration, named by
Presid ent Sa muel M. Malkin a t the As-
socia tion's la st meeting, is Leon Eskin.
Aiding a nd abetting him a re President-
Emeritus Charles W . Sta nge, Trea surer
Le onard Ziegler, C harter Secretary Mi-
chael Lascari, Ge orge Dorian, Counsel
Sol L. Kesselma n , and Mana g er Le Roy
Stein.
It will be remembered tha t a yea r a go
a d isplay a ttracting much a ttention
demonstrated the evolution of the ciga-
rette vending machine. This yea r it is
planned to conduct an exhibit of new
mod els of the several manufacturers in
the field, and invita tions will be extend-
ed to the manufacturers to d o so.
Del's Musical Vendors, whose music
helped to make the firs t annual cele-
bration a success, have been re-en-
gaged for the current a ffair. A unit of
this a ggregation of talented musicia ns
broadcasts over radio station WOR un-
der the title of the WOR Saxophone
Trio. Other plans for entertainment are
still in the w orks or remain unrevealed
to give an air of mystery to the pro-
gram. One certain innova tion will be
the award of a mystery door prize to the
holders of banquet tickets.

Special invitations are beinq mailed
to members of the Interstate Associa-
tions which include those of Syracuse
and Buffalo, N. Y., New York City, Mas-
sachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania
and Delaware.

nut, here, "for the convenience of opera-
tors in the surrounding territory. Barry
Babitz, well-known coinman in the area,
has been named manager of the Indi-

problem answered.
NEW YORK CITY.-In the November-
December issue of "The Rowe-Gram,"
under the title "When Necessary-Am-
p utate]" Jack Kelner, midwest represen-
tative for Rowe Mfg. Co., Inc., records
some interesting thoughts on the buy-
ing of new or additional equipment.
States Kelner:
Dr. Blodgett, one of the great special-
ists in the fiel d of amputating surgery,
has m a de the astounding statement that
in no case ha s a person ever wanted
an amputation . Those who need it, in
every instan ce, say they would rather
die, but of course, the doctor operates
where he feels that life ca n be saved .
The mangled bodies that are broug ht to
him a re crushed in spirit as well a s
b one, a nd life without limb seems to
hold a future w orse tha n death.
Durin g a visit which I mad e to his
home in Detroit, some y ears a g o, he
said to me, "This must b e true in y our
business as well. Undoub tedly you call
on men who are crushed in spirits from
business reverses. Men who see n o
future in their fie ld of end eavor, and
who, therefore, buy no new equipment,
but are content to poke al ong in a rut
in a morose condition . These are the
men you should operate on. Remove
abscesses of d iscoura gement; cut out
their ma lignant sores of lethargy."
"But," I said to Dr. Blodgett, "to sell a
man when he doesn't want to buy
means high pressure and I don't believe
in high pressure selling."
To which he replied : "This wouldn't
be high pressure. The only time selling
something to somebody is wrong, is
when that me rchandise will do the
b uyer n o good, or when he can't pay
for it. As long as a buyer can benefit by
what you have to sell, and can pay for
it, you are doing him an injustice n ot
to sell him-not to amputate his dis-
couragement and make him buy. There-
fore in every instance I say use high
pressure if necessary-even knock him
d own and drag him out if the occasion
demands - but make him buy more
equipment if you, the specialist, feel
sure that the operation will save his
future ."

More for Your Money
Number 4
Money is important only for what you
can buy with it. What you buy is im-
portant only for the satisfaction it gives
you. And greater satisfaction is the only
thing that is important in getting more
for your money.
That is why the service of advertis-
ing is so helph 4 1. Merchants and manu-
facturers advertise primarily to sell their
goods, but in the long run no advertis-
ing can be successful unless it helps the
consumer to get more for his money.
The most important business job · that
each of us has to do, next to earning
an income, is to buy the best possible
living which that income can afford.
Wherever we go, at any time of day
or night, we constantly see and hear
many kinds of advertising. On all sides,
industry offers its wares, presenting an
e;1ormous show window of everything
THE "'HI-LOW

information, costs the consumer nothing,
and brings many articles within reach
of the common man's purse.
Advertising has also put identifying
trademarks on food, clothing, and near-
ly everything else you buy, standard-
izing the product of each advertiser. If
you like a certain brand you buy it
again, and if you don't like it you avoid
it-the trade-mark tells the tale and ad-
vertising put the trade-mark on the
goods. If you want to know what you're
getting you buy a well-advertised pro-
duct made by a manufacturer in whom
you have confidence.
Because there is so much advertising
in this country, we are the best-informed
people in the world on what there is
to buy and where to buy it. Because
advertising is an economical salesman,
we can buy things cheaper and the
country is more prosperous. Because
advertising identifies products, we can
buy with greater confidence in their
quality.
Advertising is one of our greatest
helpers in the important problem of
getting more for our money.

in new Silver Kings.
CHICAGO.-Attracting particular at-
tention and causing considerable favor-
able comment among operators and
jobbers alike, the reception of two new
Silver King vendors, displayed in Booth
70 at the NACOMM Show in Chicago
last month has paved the way for prep-
arations for a banner year in new and
repeat business, according to report of
officials of Automat Games, makers of
the line of Silver Kings.
This was the first Coin Machine Show
appearance of fast-growing, progressive
Automat Games which reports it has en-
joyed loyal support of jobbers and oper-
ators because of "fair dealing and mod-
erately-priced quality merchandise." The
all-chrome Silver Kings, the array of
pastel-colored porcelain and the new
Factory Kings and Silver Charms were
said to have been particularly note-
e
worthy.

looked. Beans, movies, garters, auto-
mobiles, oranges, refrigerators, fishing
poles, asphalt paving, and correspon-
dence courses. You decide what you
want and spend your money accord-

fair in motion, a continuous parade of
merchandise. The more you see of it the

and the better you know how to make
your material life a happy one.
