Coin Machine Review (& Pacific ...)

... But that was before Pearl Harbor
. . . But that was before Pearl Harbor ... that
was when Ed and I were competitors ... but
as I said before ... Ed and I got together and
we really feel good about helping Uncle Sam
... and at the same time helping ourselves stay
in business. Ya know, it kinda makes me laugh
now when I think of it. When I first put the
deal up to Ed, he said to me, "Tommy, how the
h - - I are you and I ever going to get together
on anything. Sure, you're O.K. but business is
different!" Anyway, the important thing is, Ed
still owns his business and I own mine . . . and
this combination has resulted in a saving on
manpower, materials and service that Uncle
Sam is now using to great advantage. Heck!
When we went over the whole thing we found
that all our spots were along the same routes
• • •
... in many instances, right next door to each
other! Now one truck does the work more effi-
ciently than two used to do ... one service man,
instead of four ... one collector instead of three
... and materials that Ed couldn't use, I could
use and vice-versa. And the best part of it all
is, location owners are completely satisfied with
the service. I think Ed and I have hit on a prac-
tical idea here that music operators all over the
country could get together on. Uncle Sam needs
the manpower and materials ... music is essen-
tial to the morale of Our Nation-MUSIC
OPERATORS CAN HELP DO BOTH! And
don't forget guys ... let's buy and sell more of
those "knockout drops" (war bonds) for the
boys on the other side of "the drinks"!
