CLEVELAND. - Development of the
world's only completely automatic pop-
corn vending machine has been an-
nounced by the U. S. Popcorn Machine
Co., a firm which has had twenty years'
experience in the exclusive design of
popcorn machinery.
Smart and clean-looking in its white
finish with red and blue trim , the Self-
Serve Frenchflake Popcorn Machine
uses the Frenchflake automatic popping
unit of which thousands are now in na-
tioni:xl operation. This system feeds corn
and seasoning in proper charges to the
popping plate where an elaborate heat
control device turns out correctly
popped corn, prevents burning, and as-
sures absorption of all seasoning so ·
that rancidity does not and cannot de-
velop in any Frenchflake popper. But
twenty seconds are required to com-
plete a bag of the French-fried pop-
corn, and vending is done from a heai-
ed oven. At three bags a minute, the
machine's capacity is 180 per hour,
equalling $9 per hour of continuous
operation, at 5-cents per bag. Bags and
salt are vended automatically. Unlik e
past machines, every function is auto-
matic after insertion of the coin, offi-
cials assert.
In keeping with the necessary high
quality of construction, the machine is
said to employ National slug rejectors
of the latest type. From a human inter-
est standpoint, styling of the machine
was carried out by a leading nation-
ally-known industrial stylist. Popped
corn is blown up into a circular glass
fountain from the heated oven, from
whence it is evenly measured. A self-
leveling oven control starts the popper
working as the level of the corn is re-
duced therein. The entire process of
popping is visible in a glass chamber .•

NEW ARK, N. ).-Contrary to the poli-
cies of the totalitarian countries where
private and personal liberties are sup-
pressed or completely ignored, th1= Cig-
arette Merchandisers' Association of
New Jersey , Inc. , a thoroughly American
and democratic .• trade association, has
adopted a new .classification of mem- .
bership intended to give greater repre~.
sentation to the members in the smaller
brackets than heretoiore, according t9
report of Manager LeRoy Stein.
In the past the membership was di-
vided into five classes, but beginning
with 1939 the number will increase to
twelve. However, in accordance with
this new arrangement, not only will the
smaller members receive a greater rep-
resentation on the executive committee
but will pay their dues in a more gen-
erous proportion to their classification.
The classes and number of machines
in each class will include: K-1 to 25;
J-25 to 50; 1-50 to 75; H-75 to 100; G-
100 to 150; F-150 to 200; E-200 to 250;
D-250 to 300; C-300 to 400; B-400 to
500; A-500 to 650; AA-650 or more.
In accordance with the Association's
constitution and by-laws, an officer and
a member of the executive committee
must be chosen from each class of
membership; thus twelve separate .
classes of membership will be:q:epre-
sented in the new setup . when :election
of officers takes place at the first · meet- :
ing in January.
