Abouf Summer
Budinedd
By LEO J. KELLY
0. D. Jennings & Co. Vice-President
Spring and summer are holiday and get-
out-i'n-the-open times. With most people
literally snowbound all year, ei ther by ac-
tu al physical conditions or in the sense of
being chained to their homes and work,
the first whiff of sprin g brings on the urge
to pile into the old bus and go for a ride.
That means a real business opportunity
in the making for Mr. Opera tor . . . an
opportunity right under his nose.
In the warmer months every co mmunity
in every territory becomes more tran sient
th an during winter months. Frien ds visit
old friends for th e simpl e reason that it's
far more pleasant to be out in the open
air. New faces are seen on every hand.
Shopping trips are made to more distant
trading centers or nearby towns. Pleasure
jaunts here and there become week-end
relaxations. Ins ide workers follow th e com-
mon urge to get out and go-anywhere, so
long as it's going.
People on the move are good prospects
for the coinman. They're in a spendin g
mood. Th t;y try new restaurants, seek out
new taverns, look for new dine-and-dance
spo ts. Hundreds of new customers will
pile into your present locations in a few
weeks.
Many operators claim that summ er means
nothing to them since th ere are no summer
resorts in their section. But just a minute!
A summer resort to you and me is old
]
cities we know so well are r eally attrac-
~ tive places to stran gers. Almost every com-
munity has so me attra ction that draws
summer visitors.
So make th e most of sprin g and summ er.
Get out and hustl e ri ght now. Build up
your route, clean your equipment, throw
out the old junk that actually costs you
more to operate than it earns. Give that
new summ er trade a break- and an oppor-
tunity to help you build profits. Invite
play, don't discourage it.
Too many operators look upon sprin g
as th e time to haul out th e old relics, dust
th em off, patch 'em together with chewing
gum , and let 'e m run. Let's stop kiddin g.
A 30-year-old Pittsb urgh er visiting Po-
dunk is still over 21. He doesn't park his
common sense at home just because he's
visiting somewhere else. A piece of junk
that th e local boys won't look at twice is
still a broken down hack to th e trade
from upstate.
So step out and build up with new
equipm ent. Check th e hard-working profit-
builders. Be sure what you choose is built
right. Breakdowns are costly when people
are wanting to play. Th ey don' t wait for
the wrecking crew- they go off on th eir
own power looki'ng for so mething else.
If you want more dope on any machine

in th e Jennings line- you'll use some J en-
nings eq uipment as a matter of course-
drop th e plant a line, and put yourself in
line for fat summ er profits.
