Automatic Age

July , 1931
A utomatic A gf
D. Robbins & Company of ,Brooklyn,
N. Y ., have just taken over the exclusive
New England States sales rights for the
Scoop machine, manufactured in Ingle­
wood, Calif., by the Automatic Games Com­
pany. The Scoop is a windmill type toy
and candy vendor. It is equipped with a
slug ejector and has many other features
that operators will appreciate. D. Robbins
& Company predict that the Scoop will
sell bigger than any other similar machine
on the market.
The Burrows Automatic Supply Com­
pany of London are actively advertising
the machines whichy they have for the
English trade.
They claim to offer the
largest selection of automatic machines in
Great Britain. A recent advertisement had
illustrations of the Midget Racer, Premier
Skill, All-Skill Shooting Machine, Minia­
ture Golf Course, Human Analyst, Crystal
Gazer and Star and Stripes machines.
Quite a number of the English firms
seem to be busy warning competitors
against infringing on their patents.
Or
else, is that just an English way of adver­
tising. Most of the current advertisements
of machines say little about the machine,
except to warn against infringements.
The reports of eight 5 and 10c stores
for the month of June show a very credit­
able increase in business. This would in­
dicate that nickels and dimes are still
circulating freely, and vending machines
ought to get their due share of them.
When it comes to re-conditioned vend­
ing machines, D. Robbins & Company of
Brooklyn report that they have on hand
always from 200 to 300 assorted machines,
such
as peanut venders, Whirlwinds,
A . B. T. targets, etc.
Operators should
make it a habit to drop in at D. Robbins
& Company whenever they are on the look­
out for bargains in used machines. The
large stock carried offers a chance for selec­
tion and promises a bargain price.
The American Chewing Products Com­
pany of Newark, N. J. are announcing an
attractive premium proposition in this issue.
On orders for a certain quantity of ball
gum, they will give free a Lohmuller
Penny King vender made to retail at $4.00.
