Cum Vendor
distributed by Robbins
BROOKLYN, N. Y.-D. Robbins and
Company will handle the new six-
column Adams Gum Vendor, according
io Dave Robbins, head of the organiza-
tion. Holding 300 sticks of gum and
vending six different flavors , the new
machine is a product of the American
Chicle Company.
"The machine is of modernistic design
and requires a small amount of counter
.space," Robbins states, "It is easily
placed on location and the Adams gum
is going over in a big way. There is a
demand for merchandisers that will
provide a steady income to operators,
-and I believe we have just what is
needed in the Adams Gum Vendor."

The personnel of K. F. Wilkinson's United Amusement Co., San Antonio, Tex. , (Rock.Ola
central Texas distributors) turned out to see the brand new Rock-Ola "Display Room on
