been call in g on vend ing machine operators
in the north ern part of the state, and even
though new equ i pme nt is not avai lable he
has bee n instrumenta l in aiding a great
number of operato rs. Said Tony: "The
active and progressive operator seems to
think this is th e time to look over hi
business a nd make th e necessa ry changes
he has felt he should take care of, but
never got around to." Tony has been of
real service to several good opera tors here
by putti ng them in touch with other oper·
ators on matters other than equipment,
peculiar to the indiv idual's territo ry. "It
is surprising how much good comes out of
a good heart·to·heart talk, operator to op·
e rator, about their problem. Each ga ins
f rom the other and learns so me new id eas,"
rela ted Tony.
