a few dollars with which to start and
Wanted to get the best buy for your
money, what firm would you do busi­
ness with?”
He wrinkled his forehead fo r a
minute.
I’ll tell you,” he said. There are
ozens of vending machine manufac­
turers. It’ s getting to be a terrific
industry. Why, they even hold a con­
vention of hundreds o f manufacturers
«ind sales managers and operators
every year— a national affair.”
That isn’t answering my question,”
I heckled.
‘ There’s a machine called the S il­
ver King that’s a honey. It looks
darned expensive but that’s a fooler.
thought they’d be around ten
smackers apiece when I first got a
gander at them but now I ’m buying
them in lots o f ten fo r $55.00— just
five and a half bucks each.”
Sounds mighty reasonably fo r a
machine that works for you day and
night,” I volunteered.
You bstch a!” he admitted. “ You

Milk Industry Considers
Use of Venders
Boston, Mass.— Slot machines
from which bottled milk may be
bought is a possibility of the
near future, members of the
New England Association of
Milk Marketing Officials were
told by Park Carpenter, tech­
nical assistant of the Massa­
chusetts Milk Control Board.
L. T. Tompkins of the Massa­
chusetts Department of Agri­
culture declared that milk con­
sumption in the Boston market
had dropped 43,000 quarts a
day while production had risen
70,000 quarts a day since 1937.
It seems to me there is a very
definite need for greater mar­
keting effort and greater adver­
tising,” he said.

“ Babe” Kaufman Visits W urlitzer Plant
Ernie Petering, W urlitzer Assistant General Sales Manager and John Schwartz, Assistant
Sales Manager, hear “ Babe” Kaufman say, “ My operation proves it — W urlitzer's
the W inner."
Envy o f many a male Music M er­
chant, “ Babe” Kaufm an’s New Y ork
City operation grows steadily and
profitably year after year. Success is
no novelty to “ Babe” but the success
she is enjoying with W urlitzer
Counter Model Phonographs is so
great that she couldn’t hide her
enthusiasm.
Says
“ Babe” , “ Any
Music Merchant who can’t make
money with those little beauties had
better get out o f the business. I
have plenty o f them in good spots
and they quickly pay fo r themselves
and profit besides. Locations like
the built-in speaker feature, too, that
makes
them
complete
automatic
phonographs.”
W ith these words the most promi­
nent lady Music Merchant, headed
homeward promising to be back again
soon, “ And,” she added, “ at the rate
things are going it will be with
another substantial order fo r the
biggest earning instruments I ever
operated— 1940 W urlitzers.”
