records will show that your edi­
tor thought the same way about
these two evils BEFORE THEY
HAPPENED! There are no two
men in the entire coin machine
industry whose opinions are
more respected than Mr. Gul­
licksen and Mr. Tratsch. The
*

pity is that they did not express
“THE PRACTICE OF MAN­ themselves several years ago, at
UFACTURERS IN OBSOLET- the same time that your editor
ING COIN MACHINE EQUIP­ was said to be “sticking out his
MENT HAS HURT OPERA­ neck.”

member of the “Stick Out Your
]\/| a n y others in the trade Neck” Club and also the “Get
agree with the above two Out on A Limb” Society. His
statements, and some have ex­ past record with Automatic
pressed similar opinions. But the Age bears out the statement.

We realize that for an editor
to be popular he must try to
please everybody, and to do
that he must “hear no evil, see
no evil, speak no evil.” He
must write only about singing
birds and babbling brooks. He
must favor everybody— be on
both sides, all sides, make
everybody feel that they alone
are right. Your editor can’t do
that— wouldn’t if he could!
Automatic Age is not a
house organ! It doesn’t try to
be! And this should distinguish
it somewhat from the other
trade publications in this field.
As long as your editor re­
mains with A utomatic A ge he
will continue to believe that
what is best for the industry
is best for the majority of the
people in it, and will consider
it a privilege and a pleasure
to expose trends, practices or
policies found in opposition to
the best interests of the indus­
try.— C. E. V.
AGAIN in PRODUCTION
STILL THE MOST PROFITABLE
CONSOLE MADE
Here’s positive proof of the tremendous popu­
larity and earning power of Liberty Bell Console.
Several months ago this machine was dropped
from production. — However, in the last few
months hundreds of territories have opened to
the operation of this type of equipment and now
we’re literally swamped with orders for this ma­
chine. There was only one answer— we’re back in
production on Liberty Bell Console and ready to
make immediate delivery
—•Yes Sir— it’s still by far
o r i g i n a l p r ic e
the most p o p u la r and
$ 145.00 p l u s t a x .
profitable console made.
