" We suggested that Pinball games are
stri ctl y " amusement games" in the nature
of trade stimulators and therefor e should
be charged at th e rate of $10.00 pe r ma-
chine and th at regardless of the method of
operation, this type of game is still "an

sidered nor classed in the same ca tegory

niche to
machines have undergone drastic
during the past year. The mer·
vendin g machine has a definite
fill in our present national econo·
my, and the man who is responsible for
its efficient operation, really has a job to do.
Many machines h ave been moved from
,peace time locations, to trai ning camps
and Defense plants, and are fi ll ing a real
need. A cold drink, a candy bar, a handful
of peanuts or a stick of gum, does give a
welcome "lift."
However, the difficulties now confronting
the operator . can not be minimized. H is
chief problem, and a real one, is getting
merchandise. The rationing of sugar, which
has curtailed the production of cold drinks,
candy bars, bulk candies, and chewing gum,
is a constant worry. Prices on most vari·
eties of salted nuts have about doubled,
but this condition has been somewhat off·
set by increased sales. Ball gum seems to
be gradually disappearing from machines,
and the quality in most of those remaining
is v.ery poor.
The "mortality" rate among vending
machine operators during the past year, has
greatly increased. Th.¢se are principally the
disillusioned victims -of professional "route
sellers," who flourished' during the Depres·
sion years. Most of the regular and estab·
lished operators are ' still continuing their
business. Some however, have consolidated
their routes, and from patriotic as well as
finan cial reasons, have gone on the swing
or graveyard shifts in war plants. This
has enabled them to keep their business
going, by devoting a few hours during the
day to their machines.
Quite a number of operators have taken
in all of their machines "for the Duration,"
and are giving their time to war work. If
the difficulty in getting merchandise be·
comes more acute, many others in the busi·
