Ace Locks are made' in a wide va
riety of styles for every purpose, cab
inet locks, padlocks, drawer and panel
locks. Many leading coin machine
builders are using them as standard
equipment on their games.
New German Regulations
Spur Use of Venders
As a result of legislation passed
last year which removed restrictions
in connection with the use of auto
matic vending machines, their use in
Germany has notably expanded, ac
cording to advices from Consul A. N.
Styne, Hamburg, made public by the
Commerce Department.
Retail stores, it is pointed out, are
now permitted to sell their wares
from automatic machines after the
regular closing hours and also on
Sundays and holidays.
Only such
goods, may, however, be disposed of
via the machines as are customarily
sold by the store itself.
Among items now sold through the
machines are coffee, candies, groceries,
butter, cheese, fruit, sausages, canned
fish, handkerchiefs, cigars and flash
light batteries. The items being sold
in this manner are steadily increas
ing, it is pointed out.
As a result of the increased de
mand, many German plants manufac
turing automatic vending machines
which formerly were in financial dif
ficulties are now reported to be work
ing on a profitable basis. Government
orders have, in this respect, been also
°f great help as the Post Office De
partment has placed substantial com
mitments for stamp and stationery
vending machines and the State Rail
ways is reported to be increasing the
number of its ticket selling automats,
the Consul reported.
The German Labor Front to which
nearly all German workers belong has
been appeased as sales are only made
after store hours so that no increased
unemployment can be claimed from
the use of so-called “robot salesmen,”
the report states.— U, S. Dept, of
“It takes more than words to make
‘bank vault security a reality’ said
Mr. W, C. Shinn, president of the
company, during a recent interview,
“but in the Ace Lock it is a physical
fact.”
“The reason why the Ace offers
greater protection is clearly evident,”
said Mr. Shinn. “The key is unlike
any you’ve ever seen before, not the
usual flat kind with the milled grooves,
but a tubular key, notched at the muz
zle. It fits a circular keyhole, en
gaging seven pin shaped tumblers ar
ranged around the circumference of
the lock cylinder, each tumbler oper
ating at a different depth. This is
the same principle that locks a bank
vault door” is Mr. Shinn’s argument.
“Here is a unique departure in lock
engineering, yet the Ace Lock is not
new . . . distinctly not an experiment.
Two years of satisfactory service has
proved its features,” Mr. Shinn de
clared.
Professor: “Mr. Jones, you’ll never
accomplish anything without making
an effort. Many a man has learned
to swim only after being pushed into
the water. Sometime, Mr. Jones, at
tempt some seemingly impossible task
and you’ll be surprised at the result.”
Professor (the next day): “Where
is Mr. Jones today?”
Student: “The poor boy went and
followed your advice. He tried to
learn how to fly by jumping off a
cliff.”
