matic newspaper vending is re­
garded we can discover no reason
why it should not become a part of
the selling organization. Careful
selected locations with due regard to
the rights of existing permanent
sellers or retailers are to be found
in every thickly populated centre,
and there is no reason why these
should not be operated by news­
agents themselves. Properly han­
dled these machines can be made of
considerable assistance to them and
thus make it possible to release boys
and sellers for duties in breaking
new ground not hitherto properly
worked.
A glance at our illustrations will
show that the machine is a substan­
tial looking proposition, which by
reason of its size and colorful finish
enables it to be easily seen in the

midst of its surroundings. It con­
tains three compartments for han­
dling as many different journals,
facsimile copies of which are exhib­
ited on the front of it. The mechan­
ism is ingenious and simple. All
copies sold are passed to customers
through the delivery tray near the
base, but a separate coin slot is pro­
vided for each publication, and the
coins can be one, two or three cop­
pers according to the price charged,
by a quite simple mechanical ad­
justment.
If it is desired to sell higher
priced publications involving the
use of silver coins, the exchange for
new coin mechanism is the work of
a few minutes only.
Our right-hand picture shows the
interior of the mechanism and the
arrangements made for stocking the
publications in their respective com­
partments one above the other. The
absence of complicated mechanism
considering the efficient manner in
which it operates is a particularly
striking feature.
The space at the base immediately
below the delivery tray is available
for use as a cupboard for unsold
copies or any similar purpose.
The approximate dimensions are
height 6*4 ft., width 20 in., depth
12 in. Each compartment has a ca­
pacity of three or four quires ac­
cording to size of publication.
