I have read with interest the article by Mr. P. J.
Slater in the March issu e of your magazine, the Auto-
matic World.
When I say with much interest I simply mea.n that I
can appreciate a letter of this type since I am an oper-
ator myself and am pretty well acquainted with the
details that are necessary to go into in order to be an
opera.tor. I can say that his story is a genuine one and
one that can be relied up on by an experienced operator.
I might state that mo r e than one poi nt in this letter
brought out interesting facts to me. The first one was
that he stated the salesboards were making him more
money than his vending machines and this fa.ct I can
vouch for myself, as we have a line of coin operated ma-
chines in operation and I want you to know that it was
the salesboards that brought back the money.
Another good fea.ture about the boards is that we
do not have a closed territory like we do with coin
operated machines.
Neither do we have the old crooked slug to get
fastened in the slot and knock our boards out of play
ma.ybe for a month after we are gone, like we do with
machines, and the truth of the business is, the board busi-
ness in my estimation is one of the greatest mediums

for quick money for the operator that I know of. I am
frank in saying to you that if an operator will put out
a good route of boards, he will soon find out for him-
self that he can ma.ke more mo ney out of the boards
with the least amount of trouble and the least amount
of money invested than out of anything else I know of.
Of course, I do not mean to say that a man can go
into the salesboard business with sca.rcely any money
because it is necessary for him to have sufficient money
or credit to build up a route of say a hundred boards,
and then he will not need any more capital because they
will take care of themselves and make him plenty of
money besides.
Another of the true facts brought out in Mr. Slater's
article was what he said about the H. G. Payne Co. of
Nashville, Tenn., having the best li ne of boards in the
country, and I certainly apprecia.te what they have done
for me in putting me on to the latest in cut-out boards,
and the best merchandise for the same at the right
prices. I believe I can truthfully say any operator who
is a clean-cut man can do business very sa.tisfactorily
with the H. G. Payne Co. and when it comes to general
assortment of boards and prices, it is my opinion that
operators will not find any better than this concern
offers .
.) fi nd your magazine a very interesting one a.nd
will appreciate the your entering my subscription for
one year for the magazine. Mail me a copy each month
so I will be kept posted on the salesboard and machines.
If you care to print this letter in your April or
your Ma.y issue of your magazine, I will assure you I
will appreciate it as I would like to see more operators
of vending machines get into the salesboard business.

Our idea of a magazine to be of interest to readers,
is to make all angles of the mercha,ndising game that
comes under their sphere as helpful to the prospective
buyer as possible. Without a doubt we know if oper-
ators of machines were to put a route of salesboards
along with their machines at the time they were check-
ing their machines, they would find unquestionably that
this route of boa,rds would pay them dividends for the
amount of time and money invested,
Now the thing that places me more in a position
to say this than anything else is from the fact that I
have been associated closely with the salesboard and
vending machine game since 1913, having covered 25
states as a traveling salesman for seven year and the
remainder of the time being engaged in the machine
and board business. I have had the opportunity of look-
ing at every a,ngle of the game for about 17 years and
the conclusions I have reached are that for a given
amount of money properly handled, there is no invest-
ment today that will bring as> great returns as sales-
boards, if worked on the ba,sis of operation tha.t I would
