and "servi ce" will have to be something
more than just a word in th e trade names
of som e 0 f us.
In th e know predictors ay th at Ger·
many wi ll cry Uncle (Sam ) in from 4 to
6 months. And that th en r econversion in
business will startl e some of us who may
be sittin g ba ck, sell in g all the merchandise
we can lay our hands on and maybe feel·
in g that we ce rta inly are smart business
men because everyone want our goods
and service.
Unemploym ent will how up in man y
areas unti l fa ctori es can be cha nged back
to peace time produ ction. Japa n will still
be unlicked but on e wa r will not take
the terrifi c product ion that two wa rs take.
So, don' t for get to give some thought to
some drasti c busin e s changes th at are
definitely sure to com e (ma ybe soon er

Lea"in g Brand Labels Off
Som e operators are taking all brand la-
bels ou t of ciga rette mach ines and l e ttin ~
th e pa ckage tell th e co ntent of each col-
umn.
ational machin es lend th emselves
bes t to thi s id ea, Uneeda pa ks (A -I' and
500's) also work out okay. Rowes do not
ho w th e pac ks a well but th ey ca n be
used thi s way. T he reason for doin g this
is, of cou rse, because w ith present hort·
ages, you may have a brand thi s week
and have none nex t week. It takes too
mu ch time to continuall y cha nge labels but
by leav in g labels out yo u can change
brands without an y trouble. Post-war mao
chines should b e mad e so th at brand labels
on the ma chin e itself are not necessary.
Surely would save us all a lot of tim e.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, ALL!
