Coin Machine Review (& Pacific ...)

Issue: 1941 July

Finley Mason's Central Distributing Com-
pany comes word that sale of new Wur-
litzers in this area is running 20 per cent
over the same time last year which was in
itself a boom period_
Central's Wichita branch is expecting
one of its biggest years in the face of a
very profitable wheat season throughout the
State of Kansas. As wheat goes, so goes
Kansas. And there isn't a farmer in the
entire state that keeps a closer watch on
the golden harvest than do operators in
that area; for they have learned in years ·
past that when the grain is good, the mar-
ket is up, then so are coin box receipts.
And conversely so .
Universal Manufacturing Company every
day presents more of a boom-industry pic-
ture. Owner and manager Joe Berko-
witz has just returned from a flying trip
to Chicago and points north. The object
of his trip was the purchase of new equip-
ment and sales meetings with representa-
tives in that area.
Working three large shifts on a 24-hour
basis, Universal is doing nothing by hand
that can be done with a machine and where
in the past they used mainly single-feed
ticket staplers, they are now using units
that handle four rolls at a time. If present
plans develop as expected, the firm will
greatly enlarge its line later in the year.
G. L. Atkeson, in a new set-up at Gen-
eral Vendor Manufacturing Company, is
now president and sales manager of the
firm. The plant has again gone into full
production of its beverage vendors and is
securing nation wide distribution. Mr.
Atkeson, as is the case with a large num-
ber of beverage vendor manufacturers, be-
lieves that coin machine operators are mak-
ing a big mistake in letting the beverage
bottlers and locations take over the opera-
tion in this field.
He admits that several years back the
investment required for equipment in pro-
portion to profits was not such as to in-
terest most operators. But today, he says,
that picture has changed. Units may now
be secured for as little as $54.50, which
isn't a lot considering the volume and long
life of this equipment. Recent develop-
ments in this line have brought out units
that are highly selective, handli'ng prac-
tically all bottled items. They are made to
fit on top of conventional Coca-Cola cooler
boxes and other beverage refrigerators.
They simply clamp on, require no power,
and can be moved or set in a few min-
utes time.

Discussing the bigger factory, the presi.
dent of Baker's declared, "We've moved
heaven and earth to make our new plant
one of the finest of its kind in the industry
and we feel we've done mighty well. Every
convenience and every facility for produc·
tion that modern, scientific engineering and
modern methods offer ha.ve been included.
With the terrific demand for Baker games,
with orders pouring in hot and heavy, we
just couldn' t afford to remain in cramped
quarters !"
Baker was enthusiasti c about the effect
the company's larger facilities will have
upon distributors and operators, stating,
"While we have been able to keep up with
orders and deliveries up to now, we pre·
diet Baker will show distributors and oper·
ators a new high in speedy fulfillment of
orders once we're settled in our new loca·
tion."
