and every operator a f a i r
chance and opportunity to use
this service car. The success of
this plan depends on the man­
ner in which the members co­
operate with this office and an­
ticipate their wants in advance.
“It is the aim of this Associ­
ation”, Robinson stated, “to as­
sist operators, A T N O CO ST ,
on the p l a n as enumerated
above. However, if it is found
that this will work a hardship
on the Association, then a mini­
mum cost rate will be estab­
lished which will not bare a
hardship on any one, and we
will assess only O U R C O ST to
you. I realize that quite a bit
of c o n f u s i o n can be caused
through every one wanting to
be satisfied at once. However,
you must bear in mind that
there is only one car and one
service m a n - - and that this is
a new idea, so please bear with
us”.

From Texas comes a friend­
ly letter, written by Harold A.
Gallarneau, and we print it be­
cause Harold is a high-class
type operator of good equip­
ment and quality merchandise.
He calls to mind the convention
of the industry held in 1941,
and gives an indication of the
progressive spirit which enab­
led him to develop a worth­
while business.
“I have often t h o u g h t I
would write about the time we
met in Chicago at the last con­
vention. At that time I walked
up to your booth and you call­
ed me by name. To the best of
my knowledge it was the first
time you had ever seen me.
I asked you how you happened
to know my name, and you re­
plied that you remember my
picture being in Automatic Age
a few months before. I ’ll tell
you it made that convention a
happy one for me to have you
call me by name like that. I

have never forgotten that.
“I have been asked to install
machines in a s h e l l loading
plant we have here. This is a
defense plant under the Ord­
nance Department. Both army
men and civilians are employ­
ed. They are interested in drink
machines that use paper cups
rather than bottles.
“Can you send me a list of
manufacturers and merchan­
dise suppliers? I would also
like the name of a large opera­
tor that I might write to about
his experience with such ma­
chines.
“How does the future look
to you for this business? I am
having a very good business,
but daily reducing my stock
more than I am able to replen­
ish it”.
Yes, there are many opera­
tors like Harold Gallarneau,
who are doing the best kind of
a job possible, overcoming ob­
stacles, and doing the job that
makes them self-reliant citi­
zens, rendering a useful ser­
vice and playing their part in
the game in the good American
Way. The war conditions im­
pose a new set of obstacles on
these good operators, but they
will survive this test and be the
ones who will rebuild the in­
dustry to greater heights in the
new day.

New Rock-Ola Cafeteria
Serves War Workers
A large modern cafeteria is
nearing completion in the busy
war plant of the R o c k - O l a
Manufacturing Corp., Chicago.
With the payroll rapidly ap­
proaching the 4000 point in
total employees, the need has
rapidly developed for a special
cafeteria within the premises
of the plant.By serving a well
prepared assortment of nutri­
tious foods, the cafeteria in a
large war plant occupies an
intangible but very important
position in the production plans
and results.
