Coin Machine Review (& Pacific ...)

On Page 19 of this issue is the first an-
nouncement of a new copyrighted publica-
tion THE REVIEW will publish annually
from now on. To be known as "The
Source Book of the Coin Machin e Industry"
this new publication will become one of the
most important and valuable periodicals in
the entire Industry _ . . a veritable gold
mine of authentic, accurate and up-to-date
information concerning every branch and
phase of the Coin Machine field.
A tremendous edi torial program has been
in preparation for the past two years on
THE SOURCE BooK and for the past ten
months two editors have been busy at work
compiling the vast amount of data the
first edition will contain. As successive
annuals make their appearance more and
more factual information and services will
be added until within a five year period it
is expected th e yearly issues will exceed
600 pages and represent, in one complete
edition, all of the important and valuable
information available concerning the Coin
Machine Industry.
Twenty-five thousand copies of the first
issue will be published; paper has already
been reserved ; and the first issue will be
circulated before the close of the year.
We suggest you turn now to page 19 and
read the announcement. If you are a job-
ber, distributor or manufacturer-consider
the advertising value offered by this annual.
At a very moderate cost your advertising
will work for vou for twelve full months
on 25,000 fronts.

In recent weeks there has been consider-
able talk-and considerable condemnation
-of some manufacturers who have seen
fit to appoint distributors the country over
and then concentrate distribution on those
nearest their plants so as to provide for
a quick and rapid turnover.
In fact, so prevalent has the practice
become in respect to certain lin es of ven-
dors, that the whole affair is about to
hoomerang in the faces of the guilty and
deprive them of future business when manu-
fac turin g is on an even keel again. The
seed of discontent has been sown and the
jobbers and distributors who have felt
the brunt of this discrimination have wasted
no time in interesting new manufacturers
in our Industry and some surprising ideas
are on planning boards.
Some manufacturers seem to feel that
they can coyly slip a goodly portion of
their production into the lap of a jobber
or distributor near the plant without the
rest of the nation hearing about it. Don't
you believe it! There's still a "Ladies
Social Circle" in this business and rumors
and gossip travel faster than .the telegraph
from coast to coast. A lot of these evils
can be corrected NOW before additional
damage is done. If you are guilty of such
practices, isn't it better now to put your
house and practices in order, than to rent
the house out to someone else later? Think
it over, and if you want more pertinent
dope on the matter, a letter will bring addi-
tional data,
