Industry Gives Much
--Asks Little
by William Parr
I doubt if there is an oth er busin ess in th e
United States, or ano ther line of activity
that does so much, pays so mu ch, and asks
for so littl e th anks or consid eration, as the
Coin Machine Industry.
H ave you ever stopped to consider this
Industry- the part it is pl aying in our pres-
ent economic structure, the trem endous
taxes it is called upon to pay, the ski llful
help and cooperation given by every mem-
ber in every branch of the busin ess,- and
then stopped to realize what littl e is ex-
pected in return ?
Over the years th e history of the Coin
Machine Industry has been on e of constant
a nd steady growth until today the Industry
ranks in importance with many other
branches of the amusement business. The
way has been lon g, th e path has been diffi-
cult, but today-at its present position- it
asks little and gives much.
Our men have committed themselves
nobly in the war effort. Hundreds of th em
are in the front line trenches. Those at
home h ave freely contributed their time,
talents and abilities in various fi elds. Some
are air raid wardens, some are Civilian Ai r
Patrol pilots, all have aid ed in the various
scrap drives, war bond drives and almost to
a man. have made donations of blood over
and over agai n. And, in addition, they have
maintained their routes of amusement de-
vices and thus contributed substantially to
the maintena nce of the home morale of our
war workers and men in arms.
These men who have given so much and
asked for so little, have no pressure groups
or lobbyists to look out for th eir interests.
They ask for no subsidies, priorities or
prefeFences. All th ey ask is the privilege to
continue serving a nd be permitted a fai r
profit in return for th eir effort s.
The nation , as a whole, owes a debt of
gratitude to th e staun ch Am ericans of the
Coin Machine Industry. May the day soon
come when proper reco ~ nition, r espect and
admiration are bestowed upon an Industry
so gloriously entitled to this- yours, and my
Coin Machine Industry.
