The Tax Bill
Is Passed
Our understanding of the law is that it goes into
effect on being signed by the President. Probably by the time this
issue reaches the readers there will no longer be a tax on vending
machines. The manufacturers should and probably will reduce
prices so that operators can buy more machines. This means that
every hundred dollars 3s worth $5.00 more, and in the aggregate
that will be considerable.
What Have
You Done
to help to make this convention and exposition a
success? Have you left it all for a few men, or have you done your
share? Ask yourself that question now. The least you can do is
to bring a man. If everybody who has written us that they are
coming will bring some one else along we are sure to have an
enormous crowd. You will enjoy bringing along a companion, and
you will feel that you have done something to help make this his
toric meeting a success.
In the future years the automatic industry will be timed from
this convention. It will mark a new epoch in the industry’s march
of progress. An old inventor was in our office the other day and
he told us that there had been greater improvement accomplished
in the last three years in vending machines than in all previous
time. W e replied that the vending machine industry is nothing
today to what it will be 25 years hence. It is now in its infancy ;
the dawn of the automatic age is near at hand.
The history of mankind has passed through its various stages
from the glacial age and the stone age to the iron age, the horseless
age, and the electrical age. But over the hill of time there are
two ages advancing upon us that will be the greatest yet in the
service of humanity. They are the air age and the automatic age.
The time will come when humanity will be served by automatic
machines of every kind.
Those who gather in this assemblage, March 15-16-17 will be
pioneers in a great movement. They will start something here that
will, in the course of a few years, lead to our proper place in the
industries of the world.
