Bally Beverage Vendors
NEW YORK.-Starting what promises
to be one of the biggest booms in the
vending machine busin ess in several
years, orders and inquiries from loca-
tions for the new Bally Beverage Vend-
ors are pouring into the offices of the
Bally Manufacturing Company.
•I nterest has increased steadily since
the installation of the new vendors in
Warner Brothers New Jersey theatres.
According to reports, location owners
visiting the theatres have been so im-
pressed with the convenience and serv-
ice of the vendors that they desire im-
medaite installation in their own stores.
Owners of locations where Coca-Cola
is sold are interested in using the Bally
Beverage Vendor, it is reported. Many
owners have requested operators to
place a machine in their store. One
proprietor stated, "I don't care as much
about the profit as I do the convenience
it gives my customers . It eliminates my
personal investment, keeps my place
neat and clean, and helps me do more
business on sandwiches and other
items.''
"This is the first time," operators here
report, "that a boom has been created
for any machine by the locations them-
selves before the machine has general-
ly appeared on· the market. The big-
gest feature of the Beverage Vendor is
the fact that it offers even greater pro-
fits than do cigarette machines.
"The operator's greatest problem at
the present time is to figure out which
spots should get machines first; the ven-
dor is not a seasonal proposition and
when a placement is made the operator
wants the machine to stay there for
years to come."

ready for market
BROOKLYN, N. Y.-lmmediate deliv-
ery on the new Profit-Sharing 5-Cent
Pencil Vendor is now possible, accord-
ing to Dave Robbins of D. Robbins and
Company, manufacturers of the machine.
"All complaints about the player not
receiving full value for their nickels
are now a thin g of the past," Robbins
states, "In presenting this machine to
operators, we have taken into consider-
ation the fact that it can be operated
either as a trade stimulator or as a
straight merchandiser. The pencils we
furnish have a retail value of five cents
each, but because of our large purchas-
ing power we are able to offer them to
the operator at less than one cent each.
"Another important feature is the pro-
tection against excessive awards as the
operator controls the amount of awards
and knows definitely how much the
merchant has paid out."
