the outgrowth of the statewide
training program for the State

We regret to announce that Ball Gum has become a War Casualty—not killed—
but "Missing in Action" for the duration.
Many of the Ball Gum Machine Operators have successfully switched to Marbles
and are reaping a harvest of big profits. You see, previously the players were more
interested in the prizes than the Ball Gum.
Now—with Marbles— the players not only receive the Marbles, but also have
a chance to win a Prize Marble.
We can supply you with Glass or Agate Marbles in assorted colors. They work
perfectly in Ball Gum Machines.

Any firm which can supply
the item requested in the fol­
lowing inquiry, may submit de­
tails to Automatic Age, with
a 3^ stamp, and the offering
will be forwarded to the opera­

Although I have sold most
of my vending machines, or
stored them, I still am interest­
ed in the business. I have al­
ways liked Automatic Age, and
shall continue to subscribe, be­
cause I believe the coin ma­
chine industry w i l l expand
greatly when the war is over.
Some of my former locations
and the few I still have for pea­
nut vendors, have asked me to
see if I can locate some latex
rubbers for them. I never hand­
led them on a large scale, but
it was easy to dispose of a few
on each trip, and helped to cut
d o w n the overhead on the
route.
If you know of a n y place
where these rubbers can be ob­
tained, please let me know. I
am enclosing a stamped, self­
addressed envelope for your
reply.
