Location Agreements Essential To
Operator's Post-War Planning
By CHARLES FLEISCHMANN
NEW YORK-Correct timing is essen-
tial in everythin g. A home run wh en th e
,bases are full drives in four run s. When
nobody is on base a hom e run is still
good, but just results in one run. Now is
th e tim e to hit home run with locations by
obtaining signed legal agreements.

Most business men a re already thinkin g
of post-war problems and opportunities.
Th e coin machin e industry has tremendous
post-war potentialities. War conditions have
proved the value of automati c coin-operated
devi ces in alleviating the man-power short-
age, in makin g more convenie nt th e sal e
of countless items, in keepin g up the mo-
rale a nd provid ing entertainm ent for mil-
I ions of our citizens.
Many types of new mac hines were in th e
experimental stage when th e war started,

th ese are going to " go places."
Manufacturers have learn ed much from
their war production experience and will
in all ' probability have new and improved
equipment on the market wh en this war is
won.
Operators must be prepa red to purchase
th ese new models a nd also to deprec iate
the va lue of their present equipm ent. They
must plan now so th at th e tra nsiti on period
will be as littl e costly as possibl e, a nd at
th e sa me tim e plan to eradi cate th e "chis-
eling" and " dog eat dog" attitud e whi ch
plagued operators in th e past.
I have developed a standard agreement
form whi ch ca n be used for every type of
machine in every state in the Union and
Canada. If operators would use such an
agreement, that is, take advantage of pres-
ent conditions wh en machin es are scarce
IDfarm~
and loca tions a re reluctant .to change op-
era tors, th ey co uld sign up their locations
for one or two yea rs, result ing in the fol-
lowin g advantages:
