No Cure Here
“ I understand that your company
has information on all coin operated
machines. If so, perhaps you will
be kind enough to supply me with the
name and address of the company
that manufactures coin operated de­
vices for curing headaches, hang­
overs, etc.”
Believe it or not, this is an excerpt
from an actual letter received at the
offices of A u t o m a t i c A ge this month.
Mr. B. C. Peters of the Pacific Sales
Company at Spokane, Washington, is
the interested inquirer.
Headaches and hangovers are quite
common, but the machines for curing
these evils of nature definitely are
not.
Mr. Peters’ letter sent us
scurrying to the Chicago Airport
where we were told such a contriv­
ance was in use by the major air
lines.
Officials of the United Air Lines
stated that apparently reference was
made to the inhalation of pure oxy­
gen and nothing more. The oxygen
Js taken by simply inserting a rubber
tube in the mouth and inhaling the
ai*' stream as it is forced from a
small tank.

Shapiro happened to glance
through a 1931 copy of the magazine.
He was amazed to note the progress
that has been made in the industry
during the past ten years.

NUT VENDER
Thousands being sold all over the
United States! Testimonials from
operators PROVE this machine to
be the biggest earner they have
ever used.
We were told that this arrange­
ment is not for curing hangovers. It
does make the head somewhat clearer,
but it is intended primarily for use
° f passengers at high altitudes where
the air is quite rare.

It
Would appear that Mr. Peters has
8°t something there, and we are
sorry we can’t put him in touch with
auyone who “ knows how to do it.”
