Having as members practically_ al_l th~
cigarette vendors in th e Greater C~ncm nat1
area the Association recently laid down
rul e; of operation which are so pertinent to
the present si tuation th at we think they can
be read with interest by all operators of
cigarette machines. Cincinnati vendors face
the same problems as do you a nd their reso-
lution will show how some of th ese prob-
lems can be at least partially solved.
Here is the Resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED: That no members of
this organization will service any machine at
any of its outlets nor deliver cigarettes to
any establishments wherei n th e owners
themselves or throu gh any of the ir em-
ployees or' agents are found guilty of the
following practices and unlawful acts:
1. Emptying machin es for the purpose of
reselling cigarettes thus obtained at hi gher
than ceiling prices.
2. Selling cigarettes whi ch are delivered
for over th e co unter sales, a t prices in ex-
cess of ceilin gs established by the Office of
Price Administration.
3. Removing cellop hane wrappers and
pennies therein conta in ed an d tax stamps
thereto attached.
RESOLVED F URTHER: That any vend-
or of over th e counter deliveries be required
to enter into a written agreement to save
his suppliers harml ess from any damages or
claims, arising from the sale or ~an dlin g of
cigarettes at his place of business, from
violations of orders, rules, regulations . or
laws promulgated by th e Office of Price
Administration or other governmental au-
thority.
RESOLVED F URTHER: That members
of thi s association will co ntinu e to make
a fair and eq uitable allotment of their
available cigare tte supply ; assist each other
and th eir outlets in th e prevention of hoard-
ing; and give all_ duly constituted authori -
ties every assistance an d coopera tion in ef-
forts to stamp out black ma rkets.

for any operator to assume an over-confi-
dent attitude. Think of the years ahead.
Before very long the present operators are
goin g to be co nfronted with a Hock of new
operators, bankrolled by Uncle Sam. These
will be th e honorably discharged service-
men rea dy to carve a place for th emselves
in our business life, and backed with suf-
ficient cash by Uncle Sam and a half
dozen special lending agencies crea ted to
aid them. They are your competitors of to-
morrow. Are you con ductin g your opera-
tions in a man ner that will allow you to
weather the storm of this new and definite-
ly solid co mpetition ? Give it a thought,
brother, and get your sights set in the right
direction.
And, from now until new eq uipment is
aga in on the assembly lines, put that extra
moo-lah in the bank or in War Bonds so
yo u'll be rea dy to buy th e machines that
will be offered. They'll cost you consider-
ably more th an pre-war devices, so now is
a good time to plan for th e post-war years
a head.
A farmer posted this notice outside his .
chicken coop: "Anyone found here at night
will be found here the next morning."
