Strikes - Shortages - Labor
Delay New Equipment Deliveries
CHICAGO-Any operator dreaming of finding a nice shiny automatic
phonograph in his Christmas stocking may well relax. He'll be lucky to get
one in January and early February.
And that picture sizes up the entire industry and all types of equipment
for, despite quick and early reconversion, mass delivery of equipment is
not in the very near future and some of the contributing factors are strikes,
shortages of strategic materials and labor. Strikes, fortunately, have not
hit the industry directly in any great measure, but strikes in supplying plants
have caused delayed deliveries and actual shortages that have held up hun-
dreds and hundreds of units in various plants. All of which presents a
remarkable picture of the way American industry is knit together, so that
every part is dependent upon the smooth working of every other part-
Labor has likewise been a bottleneck in
some plants, for war-wealthy employees
have hit new income brackets and decided
to take it easy for the balance of the year
and not advance themselves into higher
income brackets which would erase in-
creased incomes. Then, too, returned vet-
erans have not been prone to seek early
employment but instead choose to rest a
few months and enjoy some of the savings
accumulated during service stints_ This has
been a tough nut to crack in a lot of plants,
but the reduction in income levies and the

general effect the beginnIng of a new year
brings to individual activity, is likely to
take care of this important phase of the
manufacturing picture.
Some new games and amusement devices
are now being delivered but the operators,
jobbers and distributors are awaiting the
mass distribution of a representative assort-
ment of new devices before unloosing the
pent-up distributing plans formulated dur-
ing the war years_ The few straggling pieces
now coming through are easily disposed of
and no great excitement is in evidence_
A look at the over-all picture finds the
coin machine industry in a less favorable
position than those catering to the essential
needs field_ Civilian Production Administra-
tion, a WPB re-vamp, is doing' a feeble job
of justifying its existence and with a re-
duced personnel stands little chance of
helping manufacturers in non-essential
fields break existing bottlenecks. It will
likely be mid-1946 before 75 per cent of
the plants in the coin machine industry
are functioning in regular fashion and mak-
ing fair deliveries of new equipment.

Taran Sells Mayflower
ST. PAUL, Minn.-S. H. Taran has
announced the sale of the Mayflower Dis-
tributing Co. to Herman Paster. Taran
has taken over the stllte of Florida and
part of Georgia for the Rudolph Wur-
litzer Co.
"I have purchased buildings at 2820 7th
Avenue N. W. in Miami and 90 Riverside
Road in Jacksonville," said Taran. "Both
of these are outstanding buildings and will
be a credit to both the Wurlitzer Co. and
the Industry. My distributing business
will be operated under the name of the
Taran Distributing Co., and I expect to
handle some other lines which will be an-
nounced later."
.
Taran has also purchased a beautiful
horne in Miami Beach and will soon bid
the cold country goodbye.

REVIEW

ClUCAGO-Howard Freer, known to
the coin machine trade as "Howie," is back
FOR
in "civvies" again and sporting a grin from DECEM.ER ·
here to there. Howie harkened to the
J9l1S
call of Uncle Sam and enlisted in the Army
almost three years ago. At the time he was
associated with one of the large Distributors
in Cbicago. Among other places, he served
nine months in France with a medical unit
up to the time he received his Honorable
Discharge.
He is now associated with the Empire
Coin Machine Exchange. With his knowl·
edge of the Coin Machine business, plus
his engaging personality Freer should go
places. Gil Kitt, head of Empire Coin is
tickled pink for Freer will take over many
of the duties at EmpIre.
