pending in excess of 10,000.00 to make
the new place the outstanding cigarette
vending machine headquarters on the
coast.
Bel ieving that the surface basn't even
been scratched in the cigarette field and
that intelligent organization can take care
of the headaches in this business just as in
any other business, Glenn, aided by his
general manager Barr Williams, has devel-
oped a spot that is the envy of bay district
operators and soon will be accepted as the
pattern for operators the country over.
In the new Glenn-Rowe quarters pro-
vision is made for every branch of the busi-
ness. Service men drive right into the place
and all loading, unloading and checking is
done inside. Offices are located on the
second floor mezzanine and everything is
modern and up-to-date.
In the shop general storage facilities are
especially well handled with <;igarette
stocks in one part of the building and
matches, because of the fire hazard, stored
separately in another portion of the build-
ing. Ample facilities are provided for tak-
ing complete care of machines coming in
off location. A paint shop is prominent in
the set up and every machine is thoroughly
checked mechanically. and given a bath
from top to bottom before it is again per-
mitted to leave the establishment.
Just recently E. C. McNeil, western
representative for National Vendors, Inc.,
visited Glenn-Rowe and after surveying the
new set·up proclaimed it the finest cigarette
vending machine headquarters in the west.
Jack Glenn has been in the cigarette
vending machine business for over twelve
years and pre ently operates in excess of
3000 machines in the bay district. This ex-
pansion move on his part speaks well for
his though ts concerning the future of the
cigarette vending machine business.
