Stamp Venders
Maouoketa, Iowa— During the past
few days five postage stamp vending
machines have been established in
this city, the four drug stores and
the Hurst hotel being the places see­
ing fit to render this service to the
public. These machine.:; are filled
with a roll of 500 two cent stamps,
and by placing a nickle in a slot and
pulling a lever two stamps appear
for your use, thus you are paying
four cents for the stamps received
and one cent for the service given.
Almost all the stores in the city
are bothered with people who want
one or more stamps and who do not
want to walk to the postoffice for
them, and it means that at rome of
the places the merchant is forced to
keep a goodly supply of stamps on
hand simply to take care of the de­
mands of the people. Although they
do not complain yet it is asking a
whole lot of the merchant, not in
serving one customer, but in serving
the many who make it an everyday
habit.
The new machines should prove to
be a popular movement, for the ser­
vice is well worth the price. A penny
isn’t a great deal, and the profit on
the machine, which is divided be­
tween the company installing it and
the merchant, will make nobody niuch
more than the trouble is worth. These
machines are placed where they are
handy to reach by all, and you need
not bother anybody when you want
that class of goods only. Although
you can save one cent on two cents
by calling at the postoffice, the fact
still remains that the wear on your
shoe soles would be almost that
much.
