WORLD
Have You Ability to Select
Good Locations
Your Success Will Depend Largely Upon Your
Adility to Select Good Locations.
By O. J. Branch,
many as 10 or 15 folks will support
many kinds of penny merchandise
machines. Not only printing plants
but other places as well. Go where
Fort Worth, Texas
W
HATEVER kind of coin
machines you operate that
is the machine you are
seeking locations for. If it's a mint
vender, candy bar, amusement,
stamp, peanut, pistachio or what-
not you are interested in locations
for your particular machines. The
question arises, can you select good
spots? Do you know a location when
you see it? This is an ability that
one must create before success will
be in evidence from operating coin
machines.
Fort Worth has bad many peanut
machine operators who have been
passing up good spots all these
years and it was left up to a brand
new operator (embryo) to seek out
a paying spot right in the home of
AUTOMATIC WORLD.
Yes, sir!
This young fellow observed,' while
on a visit to our plant, the number
of workmen that he figured would
eat peanuts. We were glad to have
him place his machines in tbe place
and my, how these fellows do drop
pennies into that little money
getter. The artesian water man's
business has also picked up. Where
we used two bottles per day we now
use three. One fellow remarked, "If
I was in the artesian water business
I'd also place peanut machines along
side every water fountain." Boy,
and that's no idea to "sneeze" at
either. At any rate the machine
paid $1.15 t he first two weeks and
no doubt the business will pick up
as the office girls are now going
back and securing peanuts. This
fellow is scouting out many other
good and heretofore overlooked
spots that pay well. But this print-
ing plant idea is one for all oper-
ators to consider. The boys, since
the peanut machine has been placed
in the plant, are asking for a cig-
aret machine. We may add music
and amusement machines.
How-
ever, We will watch the peanut ma-
chine another week.
Any printing plant employing as
Thirty-Three
there is no competition and another
feature, not one of these spots out
of a hundred will ask for any com-
mission unless you tip the thing off
yourself. The pickings are all yours
and they figure the service ren-
dered is enough. Don't think that
your spots must be among the bright
lights altogether. There are a lot
of sweet flowers blooming un-
noticed and untouched, just wasting
their perfume upon the evening's
breeze. Spots, not only for peanut
machines, but for every variety of
coin machines, arle waiting for a
real lover to come along and woo
