the vending machine lease and
stock promoters in the state of California. That is a good thing'
and some one ought to write the blue sky commission in ever)'
state and call their attention to these outfits. They are no moi^
a legitimate part of the vending machine business than the oil
stock promoter is to the oil industry or the Florida land sharK
is to Florida real estate. They have done the legitimate industry
a world of damage.
Of course, there is such a thing as legal stock promotion fol
legitimate business. Most every company or concern is a stock
company. THE AU TO M A TIC AGE is itself, published by a stocK
company. And we do not intend to include in our excoriation the
legitimate sale of stock for manufacturing merchandising or vend
ing machines of merit. In fact, most of these schemes which ar*
just now running into the sandwich field, get around the blue skJ
laws by a subterfuge. They do not sell stock. They sell leases
Or they may sell a machine outright for $150 that is worth $10.00
and then they agree to service that machine for a certain period
under conditions that are practically always a misrepresentation.
