The Jersey Specialty Co. of Sin-
gac, N. J., announces to its many
hundreds of customers throughout
the country that they have decided
in favor of the Panama Digger, hav-

The Panama Digger was built for
operators with the operator's prob-
lems in mind and is sturdy and sim-
ple in construction. It has human
appeal that attracts young and old,

and floor size as the base is remov-
able, and collapsible.

scribed as the world's smallest trench
digger built especially for route pur-
poses.

dreds of operators have shown the
past few months in merchandise ma-
chines, the management looks for-
ward to a very successful winter on
Panama Diggers, and urges oper-
ators to write for quantity prices
and special proposition they now are

Chicago News
H. B. Gibson and Fred Mann are
certainly doing some good things for
the Chicago operators. A would-be
gang of slickers that centered their
activities upon Chicago operators,
has been broken up by the Chicago
operators' association, headed by
Gibson and Mann.
All individuals who wer,e suspect-
ed of racketeering tactics were sum-
moned up before the state's attor-
n ey and questioned thoroughly as to
their activities in the coin machine _
business. Then each in turn was
warned that the state's attorney
would vigorously prosecute anyone
,of them who tried to interfere in any
way with operators' who are legiti-
mately running their operating bus-
inesses.
Since this warning was given some
time ago operators in and about Chi-
cago have not been bothered in any
way. This is a victory for the new
operators' association in Chicago and
speaks well for its ability to func-
tion eff.ectively for the best inter-
ests of its members.

Jim Buckley shows the boys the
kind of marbles he used by putting
them under the hammer. Well, a
lot of things have gone under the
hammer and emerged unharmed but
it was good to start with.
Same

good.

A welcome letter from Robert W.
Merriam saying that the boys around
Chicago appreciated the article of
respect given Geo. Grastorf in our
October issue.
Mr. Merriam says
the old Chicago Vending Machine
Operators Association consisting of
scale and merchandise operators, is
stilI in existence.
Mr. A. E. Gebert of the Advance
Machine Co., mad,e a great talk be-
fore the memberS' of the Independ-
ent Coin Machine Operators Associ-
ation of Illinois, recently. We nev-
er knew before that the man who
pilots the Advance Machine Co.
started in business 30 years ago, as
a peanut machine operator. In his
speech Mr. Gebert stressed the ne-
cessity- of having state organizations
to fight unfavorable legislation and
other things.

Look out for that new machine

the machine is good, well, it will be
good.
