NEW YORK CITY.-From its he a d q uar-
ters in Rockefeller Center's International
Building, here, last month emerged offi-
cials of the Arthur H. DuGrenier, Inc.
organization to head for Chicago and
the NACOMM Show. From the firm's
plant in Massachussetts emerged a
line of cigarette machines as new to
the trade as the ·name of the concern
was old. Operators, according to report,
were impressed tremendously.
• Having gather_e d in the Stevens Hotel
to inspect just such equipment, coinmen
discovered a number of things about
the DuGrenier line which they reported
particularly to their liking. First, the
"front load double shift servicing," said
in itself to be one of the most effective
time-savers the operator has ever had,
since loading the double shift from the
front of the machine saves time, effort
and energy and · assures greater ca-
.pacity without waste. Second, the "com-
.plete • visibility of the entire working
mechanism," reported by executives as
probably the only one of its kind in
the history of merchandising machines,
which permits location within a few
moments of any trouble with the device,
and permits an equally rapid cure to
be effected; bent coins, slug s or other
foreign material 'is spotted instantly as
a result of the visibility, and the same
is true of injury to any of the working
parts. Third: elimination of "sway ac-
tion," long • a • bugaboo, by· means of
strengthening angle iron bracings all
. the · way .. to the back of the cabinet,
stopping • "weaving" both of cabinet
and stand.
Other likes: Elimination of package
weights; easier push and pull ejection;
elimination of plates concealing the op-
