New Distribution Policy
for King Tut Machine
By WILLIAM GERSH
S
OME time ago the Automatic
Jobbers Association, Inc., of
New York made public their
first official statement regarding the
motives of this formation of the most
outstanding and renowned distribu-
tors in metropolitan New York.
The charter members of this or-
W·O R L D
ganization were and are the best
known distributors in this part of the
country. They have formed so as to
make buying and service more easy
for the operator. The very first act
of this organization was to lower
prices to the operator. These prices
to be gai~ed by combination volume
purchase.
Now this organization has gone
forward another step in their plans
when the manufacturers of the King
Tut machine came to them and

asked them to handle this product as
exclusive sales agents. This is the
first time in the history of the auto-
matic industry that a complete job-
bing organization has acted as eX-
clusive distributors for any manu-
facturer's product.
The King Tut machine :iself is one
of the finest built anlUsement de-
vices which has as yet beell present-
ed to the industry. It wac< made ac-
cording to the specificat,ions of men
who know what the operators need
and want. For example: the cash
box contains the coin slot.
There isn't a nail, screw or bolt
in the machine. Everything works
in grooves, that is, all that is neces-
sary for the operator to remove any
part of the machine is to open the
back and just ~lide out the b(lard. The
cabinet as well as the leg,; and the
r.est of the machillp. is mad':! of wal-
nut.
King Tut has one of the most
foolproof liaIl-lifts which has yet
been designed.
A most sensitive
plunger is used with an action which
gives absolute control of the ball.
The machine itself is without any
doubt one of the best which has yet
entered the market.
This new policy of distribution al-
lows both jobbers and operators
throughout the country the knowl-
edge that they are dealing with men
who know machines. It isn't a case
of dealing with a new and strange
manufacturer.
In short, in this
case, the Automatic Jobbers Associ-
ation assumes the resp.onsibility for
the machine even though they are
not its manufacturer and just its ex-
clusive sales agents.
What more can the out of town
distributor and operator ask? H.e
knows that everyone of the firms
in this organization has for years
been handling every sort of machine
presented to the industry. The of-
ficers of the association are men well
known to every operator and dis-
tributor in the country. A . A . Ber-
ger is president; Wm. Blatt is treas-
urer and David Robbins is secretary.
Here is a chance for all operators
and jobbers to support men who are
attempting to build great recogni-
tion for them with manufacturers.
It is one of those outstanding oppor-
tunities which has always been look-
ed forward to by operators. It is
the hope of the association as well
as many interested parties that the
distribution of so great a machine
as the King Tut will be heartily
