other types of equipment, have
come to the conclusion that han­
dling large sums of money does
not necessarily mean they are
making large profits.
Conse­
quently, they, too, are losing no
time in placing venders along
with their other machines.
A
business
reorganization
has
brought together two highly capable
and well-known men in the phono­
graph industry. Earl Montgomery,
Rock-Ola
distributor, and
Frank
Smith are now partners in the
S. & M. Distributing Company o f
Memphis, Tennessee.
S. & M. is one o f the largest and
most successful companies in that
section o f the country and Rock-Ola
phonographs have been handled ex­
clusively by S. & M. since 1935. Both
men agree that the high quality and
unusual attractiveness and service-
free feature o f Rock-Ola Luxury
Lightup Phonographs have played an
important part in the success and
growth o f S. & M.
“ With our present organization, I
feel that we shall be able to give our
operators a greater service and in­
creased personalized attention,” says
Earl Montgomery.
Frank Smith, well-known general
manager o f S. & M. says: “ Ditto,"
and “ It’s Rock-Ola fo r ’40.”

Bigger Profits
There is no getting away from
it, the vending of bulk products
is commanding more and more
attention, especially is this true
of those who, in their rush to
make big money, overlooked the
fact that when the difference in
original investment, deprecia­
tion, operating expense and
profit margin are taken into
consideration, the actual earn­
ings of bulk venders are as
great, if not greater, than many
of the so-called big money ma­
chines.
If you want some sound ad­
vice — get yourself a route of
Northwestern venders and they
will pay you more actual profit
for a longer time than any other
