Coin Machine Review (& Pacific ...)

Amusement Board of Trade
of New Jersey, Inc.
Three members have left the Association
office to travel in three different directions,
in order to study operating conditions
throughout the country.
"Dick" Steinberg left for a trip to the
west coast, to study mid-western and Pacific
coast operations, and to meet with officials
of the Trade Association in the Coin Ma-
chine Industry. In addition, he will call on
manufacturers, distributors and jobbers in
the several stop-over cities along the route.
This trip is being made in the interest of
the Association and will be made mostly by
plane, supplemented by auto travel along
the coast.
Charles P. Polgaar, another member of
the Board of Governors, is making a leis-
urely trip to the mid-west and south for
practically the same reasons.
Polgaar has already completed a number
of short trips within the State, on his fishing
escapades, and has much to report con-
cerning the trials and tribulations of vend-
ing operators, as well as fishermen.
Executive Secretary, LeRoy Stein, is
leaving for a trip throughout upper New
York State and the New England States,
where he will call upon the Managers of
the many Trade Associations.
Stein will renew acquaintances in the
cigarette and music fields, as well as make
new ones in the Coin Electric branch of the
Industry.
These three members will return in time
for the First Regular Fall Meeting of the
Board of Governors, to be held on Thurs-
day, September 5, 1940.
This Fall Meeting is the preliminary to
the First Regular Meeting of the Associa-
tion, which is scheduled for Thursday,
September 12, 1940,
Several plans yet untried in the Coin
Machine Field will be proposed. These
plans have been successful in other indus-
tries and should prove of great value in
ours.
Meanwhile, Arthur Daddis, Chairman of
the Recreation Committee has appointed
three sub-committees to assist him in the
All-Industry Picnic for the coin machine
men in the state of New Jersey, which will
be held on September 8, 1940.
Although accepted generally as vacation
months, July and August have been the
busiest months of our Association year.
Despite the unusually hot weather, more
activities, both in the field and in the office,
have been recorded, than during the so-
called working winter months. Over one
thousand pieces of mail have been prepared
and distributed to our enlarged member-
ship. Treble mileage has already been
recorded, and phone calls out and in have
reached a new high.
The Board of Governors should be com-
mended for disturbing their planned vaca-
tion perfods to attend meetings for the good
and welfare of the entire membership. A
real opportunity to expand routes has been
made possible by the untiring efforts of the
Board, supplemented by the arduous labors
of the Office Staff. Conferences among the
membership have been held to further the
peace and harmony which now prevails,
and every effort is being made to increase
the value of membership. More cooperation
(particularly constructive suggestions) is
needed to keep our Association as the
model of our Industry-a reputation which
we already enjoy-and which we must strive
to maintain.
