a coin chute which will really stand
up under all conditions, one which is
substantially built and not easilv bent
or twisted. We feel sure this will
receive due consideration by the coin
chute manufacturers or the coin ma
chine manufacturers themselves.
Affect of New Tariffs
Insofar as trade in Central Euro
pean countries is concerned: Although
we have read much of late of the
many orders taken for export to these
areas, we are inclined to treat these
reports with the proverbial pinch of
salt. Tariffs have risen high of late,
which makes importing prohibitive,
and to make matters worse, very
severe Exchange Restrictions are now
in force in many European countries,
which makes it impossible to do any
business at all, as buyers are unable
to obtain foreign currency to meet
their obligations.
In the meantime, the market is very
restricted, and we cannot see any
hope of an improvement until the
general world economic situation is
clarified, and the wheels of industry
once more set going. Prospects of
this happening just now are rather
remote, so that the position is one of
“wait and see” and these markets
must remain more or less dead.
June, 1937
Germany Making Studies
In those countries effected by Ex
change Restrictions such as Germany,
the domestic manufacturers have not
failed to take advantage of the cir
cumstances, and they are catering
fully for the demand of their own
market, and can beat all foreign com
petition. One has only to pick up a
copy of the German organ “Der Auto
mat” to see what strides are being
made in that country and the manu
facturers there are certainly “not let
ting the grass grow under their feet”
and their leader, Hitler, can be de
pended upon to see that the Father
land comes first when trade is ulti
mately opened up. Due to the severe
depression in other countries, the
authorities have tightened up control
and games likely to be used for gam
bling are soon confiscated, it not
prohibited entirely.
We, in the British Isles, have also
our own depression, but in many
cases, have much to be thankful for.
With a little more co-operation on the
part of the leading American coin
machine manufacturers, this market
can be developed to the advantage of
all concerned.
Let us hope, that you, on your part,
will see that all the little distribution
defects are remedied, and let us work
together for the general betterment of
the industry.
Market Good, But Limited
As we have said, this is a good
market, although limited in compar
ison to the wide field in the United
States, at the same time, the oppor
tunities that do exist can easily be
spoiled by a few indiscriminate and
unbusiness-like concerns, who for the
sake of a few dollars, are quite pre
pared to send the industry “to the
dogs” and these are among the first
to cry out about the depression and
wonder why business is lagging be
hind, and the prestige of whose prod
ucts is completely lost with over ten
different prices ruling for the same
article.
We hope the little information con
tained in this article will prove of
some use to American readers, and
that the time is not far off when we
can get all our American friends to
see eye to eye with us over here. We
wish the American industry continued
prosperity and success in all their new
products due for release soon.
