Pulver Go. Operates
Model Gum Plant
(Continued from page 39)
ble with Pulver machines and that is
probably why the company has a
policy of keeping their machines in
repair at all times for the operators.
The gum making machinery is of the
latest model. There were a number
of kettles operating, as well as a
number of mixing machines. All the
operations are done by machinery, in-
clud'ng the wrapping and stacking,
so that human hands do not touch
the product.
All the operators appeared to be
neat and clean and we particularly
not ced that they seemed to be a
group of satisfied employes taking a
genuine interest in their work. The
place was especially light and sani­
tary and organized in such a way
that one could see that the manage­
ment in both front and back knew
their stuff.
Mr. S. B. Byrne, who lately took
over the management of the com­
pany, is well known to the vending
machine trade, having formerly been
on the road where he came in contact
with the boys who send in the orders.
He has the advantage of having both
the viewpoint of the operator and the
manufacturer, which makes him a
very able executive. We predict con­
tinued success for the Puver Com­
pany,. wh’ch operates on the exclusive
territory basis and in most sections
their territory is at a premium.
“ Sells Whiskey to Sheriff” says a
headline in the Indianapolis News.
The mistake of this bootlegger should
be a warning to all his fellow trades­
men. The headline should have read
“ Gives Whiskey to the Sheriff.”
Wyoming is attempting to round
up the thousands of wild horses in
the state.
