MAY ENLARGE BUSINESS
The American News Vending Com
pany Planning Many Sub Conn

E. x. Somers, at the head of the
American News Vending Company,
has perfected a plan to extend the
company's business into every state
in the Union, move that will great
ly increase the number of men en-
ployed in the st. Johnsbury factory.
The company has secured figures
on which certain per cent of bus
mess is estimated. Then it will sell
to sub companies formed in each
state the right to manufacture the
vending machines controlled by the
company's patents for definite
sum. In addition to this sum they
will charge a royalty of rs cents
a year on each machine manufactur-
ed during the remaining 16 years
that the patent has to run. The home
company in ST. Johnsbury will fur
nish the sub company will all the
tools to be used in the manufacture
of the machines which tools will be
made here. The home company will
also furnish all the supplies to be
dispensed in the machines.
This plan was made necessary by
the great demand there is for the
vending machines by the railroads
and other large corporations. 1t was
seen that it would be impossible to
supply the demand from any central
factory and so the scheme of many
factories was devised. To manu-
facture the tools for all these sub
factories will necessitate a large in
crease in the capacity of the st.
Johnsbury plant and the company
has secured an option on it's pres
ent building and the lot on which it
is located. They employ 20 men
now and have weekly pay roll of
$225, exclusive of the management.
They expect that the new plan of
business will call for about four
times as many men and as a higher
class of labor would be necessary the
pay roll would be increased more
than that
