We were compelled through lack of space to omit
many good things about the annual convention
at Cleveland from our March issue. Some of these
are given in this issue that their values may be
come permanent. So that in the March and April
issues A u t o m a t i c A g e has presented the most
complete record ever given in a magazine of a
vending machine trade convention. We regret
that we were unable to anticipate the demand for
the March issue and our supply of copies was soon
exhausted. We added 3^6 new subscriptions to
our list during March and this created an unex
pected demand for extra copies. In this issue the.
news of tax bills affecting vending machines will
be of considerable interest. Also, we have an
excellent news report of trade matters in New
York, and hope that we can increase the value of
this service from month to month. Now, the
East and the West are well represented with spe
cial departments. Goodbody's column throbs with
interesting opinion. The new managing director
of the Automatic Merchandisers Association in
troduces himself in this issue. The regular de
partments will be found of continued interest.
Next month we will emphasize the field for amuse
ment machines. The greatest season for these
devices is now just ahead, and we are planning to
give special attention to the amusemient field in
May.
