After my first corre-
spondence you sent me a sample
copy of the April issue, but I have
not received Mayor June issues.
As I have read the sample copy
through so many times that it is
nearly worn out, I'm dying to get
hold of the above mentioned copies.
Please do what you can to relieve
this distressing situation.

five copies of the Ma y issue, if you
please.
I am taking the liberty of writing

$ 1 00 Tax Per Operator Put
Into Effect
Automatic World,
Fort Worth, Texas.
Gentlemen:
Enclose find $1.00 for one year's
subscription to your magazine. Have
been intending to send this in for
several months but just put it off.
A friend of mine handed me your
Anniversary issue the other day and
I couldn't put off subscribing any
longer. Say, it was plenty good. I
take two other operators' magazines
and I AM NOT FLATTERING YOU
A BIT WHEN I SAY YOURS IS
BETTER THAN BOTH OF THEM
FOR READING MATTER.
Did you notice what the boys in

t his, $100.00 tax on all operators. I
believe that to be the only salvation
for operators. I can't see the disad-
vantage to it. Anyone that is in this
busin ess and expects to make a liv-
ing or a ny money will have to oper-
ate at least fifty machin es a n d 25
per cent of them 5-cent machines.
If we pay the present Texas tax of
$1.50 on penny machines and $7.50
on nickel machines and then the city
tax we are going to be out over
$100.00. This tax we are now pay-
ing is n ot worth a d - - to us. The
$100.00 tax will help us in this way:
by stopping location owners' from
buying their own machines. It will
stop these boys from believing they
can buy two or five machines and go
out and get rich with them, and it
would be a favor to them if they
were stopped for nine out of ten lose
what little money they have saved
up.
The
t hinks the I owa boys
are making a mistake. I think they
take this stand for fear they will
hurt some of these greedy amuse-
ment machine, builders' feeling-
firms that have been working over-
time mailing their circulars to all
the stores in the country and selling·
to our best l ocations, and a lso getting
t hese poor kids, that happen to have
en ough saved up to buy a couple
machin es, by their high powering
them into believing they can get rich
by buying five of their machines.
Maybe I am all "wet" on this
$100.00 tax. I am just a country
boy trying to make a little money
operating a nd I realize I have a lot
to learn.
I would like to see you give this
subject a few inches of space in your
reliable magazine and see what the
other fellows have to say about it.

A. P. Sauve Company
Enjoys Growing
Business
A. P. Sauve Company, of 2998
Gran d River avenu e, Detroit, Mich.,
are live-wire distributors of Detroit.
This reliable firm has en joyed a bus-
iness growth right in the midst of
the depression and are doing good
business throughout their territory.
According to A. P. Sauve's own
statements we garner some valuable
information:
"We have been in the operating
(slots) game for a good many years.
WORLD
During all this time our experiences
with jobbers has been anything but
pleasant. Last J anuary when the
pin game business started to go
ahead so successfully, we decided
that Detroit and the state of Mich-
igan was open for a live, up-to-the-
minute jobbing or ganization, and
we started in, rolled up our sleeves'
and went after every operator in the
state. I am conservative when I say
we have been successful and busi-
ness has exceeded our expectations,
and We are enjoying a successful
business.
Twenty-O n e
"Weare well established amongst
the operators in the state, have four-
teen men working twelve to f ift een
hours each day, and are, leaving no
stone unturned to be of service to
the operators, large and small."
It is certainly refreshing to see
live-wire firms going ahead during
these so-called hard times and ex-
panding their business and making
some money like the above f irm.
The A. P. Sauve Company requ est
all operators to get in touch with
them for prompt service in every
way.
