Blake and Kraut Form
Uneedapak Company
LOS ANGELES-Formal announcement
was made here February 1st to the effect
that C. A. Blake and Max Kraut had joined
forces for 1941 in the sales and promo-
tion of U-Need-A-Pak Cigarette and Candy
Merchandisers. The new partnership will be
known as the Uneedapak Company and
will maintain offices and showrooms at
2700 South Hill Street.
Both men are very well known in cigar-
ette and candy vending machine circles in
the West. Max Kraut came West two
years ago to take over the distributorship
for the Western States on Uneedapak after
having been general manager at the fac-
tory for several years. Kraut took to the
West like a duck does to water, met a
local lass, married her and intends to make
California his permanent home. Max at-
tended the Chicago Show and returned to
the Coast fired with enthusiasm over the
new Bel Geddes designed Uneedapak ma-
chines for 1941.
C. A. Blake has been on the Coast since
1933 when he hitch-hiked here from New
York to plant the Stewart & McGuire ban-
ner in the West. His meteroic rise since
then has been a brilliant page in cigar-
ette merchandising history. Since August,
1938, he has represented Arthur H. Du-
Grenier, Inc., and has been responsible for
the sale of thousands of machines through-
out this territory.
Every indication points to a very success-
ful future for these two young men in
their association in the promotion of the
Uneedapak line. Both men invite operators
to visit their new showrooms and see the
revolutionary products which made such
a hit at the Coin Machine and National
♦
Tobacco Shows in January.

Associ ation
Another year is well underway for the
merchandise operators of Southern Cali-
fornia and it is the wish of our Association
that it will be a busy and prosperous one
for all of you.
Again we extend to all old members who
haven't been with us recently the invitation
to come out to the next meeting and plan
with us for the progress of our respective
businesses in 1941.
The Association has again expressed its
disapproval of certain jobbers and repre-
sentatives of machine manufacturers who
make a practice of selling merchandise
vending machines to locations. We feel sure
that all operators are behind us 100% in
such disapproval and that concerted effort
should be made to combat such practices.
