JULY, 1931
Vol. 7, No. 12
JULY— opens the second half of 1931. The late­
ness of our June issue has been a handicap, both
to us and to the advertisers. We have had to use
considerable rush in trying to make some adjust­
ments in our schedule a/nd get the July issue into
the mails as soon as possible. July and August are
used by many folks in the trade as vacation
months, and we wish to express personal good
wishes that all of our readers may have a real
and pleasant vacation. Many operators and man­
ufacturers take advantage of vacation time to ob­
serve the various machines and conditions of the
automatic trade, as they happen to travel about
during vacation. This can be done without mix­
ing too much business with fun and enables the
observer to return to his work with new ideas
gained from the operations of others ._ A little
determination will sometimes help to make the
second half of the year better than the first in
business returns. Without asking them, most of
the operators calling at our office express the idea
of putting renewed vigor into their operations,
and the majority are looking for some real good
machine with which to expand their business.
They are looking a little bit more carefully than
usual perhaps, but they are looking just the same.
In arranging our new schedule, the August issue
will follow soon after the July issue.
