Study Cooperative Servicing
in Philiadelphia
Under the sponsorship of two
leading operators’ Associations
in Philadelphia, Pa., the idea
o f cooperative servicing o f
m u s i c and amusement ma­
chines has been taken under
advisement. Further study is
continuing. The groups under­
taking this progressive wartime
measure, are the Philadelphia
Amusement Machines Ass’n.,
and the Phonograph Operators
Assn. of Philadelphia. Commit­
tees to represent each group
and work out their respective
needs and problems were ap­
pointed after the general dis-
cusion of the cooperative ser­
vicing idea in joint session of
the associations’ memberships.
Out of the preliminary meet­
ing, it developed that service
men could be allocated to cer­
tain districts, thereby avoiding
the overlapping of service calls.
This would save distances trav­
elled by centering all service
calls in any one district to the
service man or men in charge
of the specific district.
While the routes of individ­
ual operators cut across lines
or territories of other routes,
the saving of time of service
men, conservation of gas and
oil and tires and other benefits
would permit better servicing
than for each individual opera­
tor to travel great distances to
make isolated service calls for
his own specific route.
Cooperative servicing can be
developed into the answer for
one of the most vexatious prob­
lems confronting operators to­
day. The successful operation
of such a plan can do much to
ease the predicament brought
about by the shortage of man­
power, and of the Office of De­
fense Transportation order to
restrict the mileage of commer­
cial vehicles. Unless operators
find some such means of per­
