Brown to Head
Portland Office
George N. Brown, form er Olympic
walking title holder, has been appoint­
ed general manager o f the Square
Amusement Company office, Poi'tland,
Maine.
A1 Schlesinger, o f Pough­
keepsie, N. Y., announced the appoint­
ment.
Brown received his training in the
coin machine business at the offices o f
the Square Amusement Company,
Poughkeepsie, where he spent some
months preparing fo r his present job.
“ The coin machine business is the
modern business o f America,” Brown
said. “ It is a business that offers the
sort o f live action that Americans
want.
“ This is really and truly an Ameri­
can business. It is the sort o f busi­
ness that Europeans couple with us
when they think about us. It is effi­
cient. It is speedy. It brings the
public what they want right to their
doorstep.
“ There is no doubt in my mind that
the northern part o f New England is
going to eventually become one o f the
most important coin machine terri­
tories in the country. It is a part of
the country that has been built upon
solid and fundamental American ideals
and when this part ofthe country ac­
cepts machines the rest o f the country
is sure to follow.
“ I am happy and proud to have
been given this opportunity by Mr.
Schlesinger to prove my ability and
at the same time to help the industry
to further itself in a truly American
section o f the country. I hope to be
able to duplicate for the firm and for
the operators in this industry what I
did at the Olympic games, and I only
hope that the boys will give me the
opportunity to do so by letting me
serve them.”
Michigan Firm Using
400 Snacks
C. H. Potter, form erly a partner
in the Freeland Specialty Company,
and Robert Maskell, Wayne, Mich.,
operator, have established a new jo b ­
bing business in a store at Wayne,
some 18 miles west o f Detroit. Com­
pany is being formed under the name
o f the Michigan Snacks Company, and
will both operate and job throughout
the State. About 125 machines have
been received and a m ajority have
been placed in operation.
“ We plan to place about 400 on
location,” Potter said. “ We will sell
machines, as well as operate them.
The ones we have had out so fa r have
proved very good and returned a sat­
isfactory dividend.
“ We have decided to operate in a
more stable field, as well as in the
amusement field in which we have
form erly been active.”
