LOCATION AGREEMENT ANTICIPATED
TAXES; PROTECTS OPERATOR AGAINST
UNPROFITABLE STOPS
Operators give much credit to
Charles Fleischmann of the
Baltimore Salesbook Company,
New York City— being the rec­
ognized authority on operators’
collection books and forms— for
the fact that the firm’s newest
Handyset Location Agreement
anticipated the coming taxes.
Those operators who had signed
their locations to this agreement
found themselves in an enivable
position.
“Our Handyset L o c a t i o n
Agreement not only anticipated
the possibility of increased tax­
ation,” explained Fleischmann,
“but was so arranged by the men
who prepared it that the oper­
ators who signed their locations
to this agreement are now fully
protected on the payment of this
tax with their location owners.
“There is no doubt that the
coming tax situation makes the
Handyset Location Agreement
even more valuable to operators.
The paragraph that saved those
operators who have already
signed their locations and will
save others who promptly get
these signed, is paragraph 6
which reads as follows:
“ ‘In the event that any law
now existing or which may here­
after be passed by any lawful
authority shall require the pay­
ment of any license fees, taxes
or other charges on account of
the use or operation of said
equipment, said charges shall be
paid by the OPERATOR but the
amount thereof shall be borne
equally by the parties hereto and
the OPERATOR shall be en­
titled to deduct the LOCATION
O W N ER’S share of such charges
from any sums thereafter due
the LOCATION OW NER pur­
suant hereto, provided, however,
that in the event any such
change shall make the operation
of such machine unprofitable the
OPERATOR may upon .. . days’
notice to the LOCATION OWN­
ER, terminate this agreement.’
“This paragraph covers the
operator completely. It helps him
to get part of the share of the
new taxes back from the location
owner. It makes it legally defi­
nite to remove his equipment if
the tax is so high that it is un­
profitable to operate that equip­
ment any further.
