Veteran Seeks Opportunity
in Automatic Field
Designer Wins Praise
Paul Fuller, (left above) the
man who designed the now
famous and long popular mod­
ernized Wurlitzer, hears again
that it is doing a great job of
getting and holding locations
for W urlitzer music merchants
everywhere.
This time, it is Tim Crummet,
a partner of the Central Distri­
buting Co. of Kansas City, Mis­
souri and Omaha, Nebraska,
who tells Paul that the modern­
ized Wurlitzer is a magnificent
money maker.
Constructed entirely of non-
critical war materials, this cab­
inet enables music merchants
to convert W urlitzer models
24, 500, 600, 700 and 800 into
phonographs with new eye and
ear a p p e a l and consequent
greater earning power.

Candy Bar in “ K” Ration
Jolly Jack, candy bar manu­
factured by Curtiss Candy Co.
of Chicago, has been accepted
by the Chicago Quartermaster
Depot as a confectionery com­
ponent for the A rm y’s “ K ” ra­

from the civilian market, ac­

necessary to w i t h d r a w this
popular bar from the regular
channels of distribution in or­
der to supply the Army with
the huge volume it needs, but
the boys and girls in the Armed
Services must come first, and
we are proud that J O L L Y
J A C K has met the Arm y’s
high r e q u i r e m e n t s , ” Mr.
Schnering said. “ A s soon as
military needs have been taken
care of, Jolly Jack will again
be made available to civilian
consumers.”
In a d d i t i o n to producing
nearly a million and a half Jol­
ly Jack bars a week for the
Quartermaster Corps, the com­
pany is making m a n y other
contributions to the armed for­
ces. It is manufacturing hard
candy squares in special export
packing and fruit drop rolls
for export;; and it is shipping
the bulk of its regular candy
products for export to the arm­
ed forces for sale in post ex­
changes and ships’ s e r v i c e
stores, and for issue to the men
in combat areas.

to give me some advice on plan­
ning a future in your field after
the war.
A t present I am an army of­
ficer in the Signal Corps acting
as the Post Signal Officer of this
station.
I
am interested in automatic
vending machines and automa­
tic games and devices of all
kinds. Have you any sugges­
tions as to a specific geographi­
cal area where I can procure
a franchise either as an inde­
pendent operator or as a repre­
sentative of one of the larger
companies.
Wouid you have any other
suggestions for a young man
with limited capital but who
has a good knowledge of mer­
chandising and some mechani­
cal ability to establish himself
in a community and build a
business.
If you have any previous is­
sues of your publication which
might add some light to my
problem ; or if you have the
names of any manufacturers
whom I might contact, or if you
have any suggestions please
let me hear from you.
