WASHINGTON-The value of coin
games as an important medium of enter-
tainment was forcibly demonstrated when
the Veteran's Administration purchased 250
combination pool and pinball games from
Hirsh Coin Machine Corp. for installation
in veteran's hospitals throughout the coun-
try.
Shipment was forwarded by Hirsh Coin
to the V A's Supply Depot in Horseheads,
N.Y., from where it will be redistributed.
Automatic Coin Enlarges
CHICAGO-Boosting their existing area
8,500 square feet, Automatic Coin Machines

CHICAGO-Coin-machinedom is feeling
the recent six per cent freight rate increase
au thorized by the Interstate Commerce
Commission where it hurts most - in the
lining of its billfold. Those receiving ship-
ments from the East are paying an addi-
tional five per cent.
But the end is not yet in sight. The ag-
gregate increase of 11 per cent is just a
stop-gap, a strip of thin bacon tossed to a
famished lion. The railroaders and truckers
have been persistently petitioning for a 25
per · cent boost since 1942 and their tena-
ciousness has not been reduced one iota by
the temporary grant. The gathering snow-
ball was considerably defrosted recently
when the Supreme Court ruled against the
I. C. C. placing new class rates info effect
and by the appearance of Chester Bowles
and OP A's Paul Porter before the I. C. C.
as witnesses against the raise. However, the
freight companies can circumvent the Su-
preme Court ruling by adding to their

AUTOMATIC VENDING
THE REVIEW proudly presents, in
this number, the first issue of a maga-
zine - within - a • magazine, devoted to
AUTOMATIC VENDING.
Just as it pioneered the first depart-
ment for Automatic Music back in 1935,
THE REVIEW foresees the tremendous
future for automatic vending and the
need for a publication exclusively de-
voted to this specialized field. AUTO-
MATIC VENDING will be just such a
magazine and will lend every coopera-
tion and help to the men and women in
whose hands lie the ultimate destiny of
this billion dollar po tential.
We invite your thorough inspection of
the first publication of AUTOMATIC
