MACHINE
REVIEW
CHICAGO.-This year of our Lord has
already seen its first coin machine show
come and go. Approximately 3500 visi-
tors registered for the affair held at the
Sherman Hotel, here, January 16 to 19,
according to report of James Gilmore,
secretary-manager of the Coin Machine ·
Manufacturers of America which spon-
sored the event and played host, and
1200 of the visitors dug into their pock-
ets or the pockets of exhibitors, for tickets
to the banquet. The final count showed
. 99 exhibiting firms occupying 175 booths .
Unique features of the CMMA affair
included the int~rchange of admissions
to the convention" of the National Asso-
ciation of Tobacco Jobbers at the Pal-
mer House, the first annual All-Industry
Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning ex-
hibition at the Stevens Hotel, and the
coin machine show at the Sherman, all
held on virtually the same day, simply
by a show of badge ind icating registra-
tion at any one of the three, and Sec-
retary Gilmore's interview with Bob
Purcell over Chicago's WCFL, wherein
Tom Watling's golden anniversary was
mentioned, and the story of the indus-
try was broadcast to listeners-at-large.
As regards the various departments
of the industry: Music machines, dis-
played in full b loom at the NACOMM
Show, were less in evidence here; wall
b oxes and reµ10te control ideas seemed
to be this division's most important new
offering, Cabinets, grilles, needles,
covers and similar items were on dis-
play as usual.
In thE: merchandising field, cigarette
vendors were strongly displayed, as
were the candy bar vendors, with some
machines serving a dual capacity and
vending either cigarettes or candy, or
both. New stick gum machines, and
beverage vendors attracted interest.
Bulk vendors , more or less stabilized
within the past few years, were on
hand in wide variety, and scales were
more predominant than in other shows
past.
Trade stimulators, including small
counter machines in which amusement
and chance are combined, were amply
displayed, and ranged from these same
devices , through colorful punch boards,
to the more recently developed jar
deals. Premiums were displayed in con-
junction with this group, and with the
diggers and the single rotary machines
on exhibit.
Novelty tables, consoles, payouts and
bells were shown in somewhat wider
variety tl"!an at the December conclave.
A miscellaneous group of machines, in-
cluding arcade equipment, also was in
evidence, together with a general
showing of parts and other supplies.
CMMA's b oard of d irectors has an-
nounced that their next annual exhibit
will be held at the Sherman Ja nuary
15-18, 1940.
