One year ago Hitler, Hirohito, and
even Mussolini, stood against the world.
America' had sent 12 million of her soldier
sons and daughters into every corner of
the globe. The American way of life .. .
which is another way of saying the way
of tolerance, peace, progress and plenty
. . . had been disrupted by the necessity
for throwing America's mighty strength
against the swashbuckling forces of evil
that had threatened civilization.
But we won. That is the main thing.
They lynched Musso . . . Schickelgruber
committed suicide . . . and Hirohito is
taking orders from America's smartest
soldier ... and liking it. Quite a difference
in one year. And for that difference let
every American Thank ~d and take cour·
age.
But we are not out of the woods yet.
Swords cannot be turned into plowshares
over night. We have a tough job ahead
. . . of reconverting our plants into pro-
ducing the games and equipment operators
have been patiently waiting for these many
years and of helping suppliers to recon-
vert and solve their labor problems, for
upon their ability to deliver depends the
outp ut our manufacturers will be capable
w. 'BLACKFORD
of producing.
Manufacturing is a complex procedure.
In the production of one phonograph, one
console, one slot machine, or vending de·
vice, may go the parts supplied by more
than 100 individual manufacturers. Only
when these manufacturers-each and every
one of them-can deliver, can our manu·
The
He"
facturers produce the finished device.
With proven business acumen our manu·
facturers are licking one bottle·neck after
another-slowly but surely. They are provo
ing conclusively that the brains and ability
that within three years helped give Amer·
ica, starting at scratch, the mightiest and
best equipped fighting force the world
. ever saw, can meet and conquer the vexing
problems that lie ahead of us in our efforts
to return to peace time conditions.
And so we doff our hat to the manu·
facturers in the Coin Machine Industry.
They're doing a magnificent job of speeding
equipment through to operators even though
it may seem terrific.ally slow in coming
at times. The way stretches fair before
us and offers the opportunity for a better
understanding of mutual problems, broader
cooperation and the resulting enlarged
achievement.
