VENDORS
DISPLACING CLERKS

Millions of clerks now working
behind counters had better lay in a
supply of tin cups and lead pencils
if Consolidated Automatic Merchan-
dising Corporation (Camco) sue
ceeds in ushering in the Automatic
Age of Merchandising" Clerks go
out where Cameo comes in. AL
ready United Cigar Stores, at 33rd
and Broadway, has laid off several
because of clever machines which
sell you your favorite brand of
cigarettes. These machines differ
from Capeks ROBOTS" only in lack
ing human form. They parrot the
cigarettes slogan and end up by
saying, Thank You" in the best
mechanical manner for your Is
cents.
And What Not!
Other vending machines carry
chocolates, chewing gum, postage
stamps, handkerchiefs, minis and
perfume, make change and weigh
you. They are made by General
Vending Corporation, Sanitary Post
age Service Corporation, Automatic
Merchandising Corporation, Rem
ington Service Machines and Scher-
mack Corporation, all of which have
been consolidated into Cameo.
On Canoes board are executives
of the United Cigar Stores and
Remington Arms Co. with represen-
tatives of the merged firms, several
bankers, lawyer and a merchan-
dising expert. Cameo claims to
have access to 100000 retail To-
cations. Wares will be marketed
through its automatic machines in
Woolworth, United Cigar, Schultz,
Liggett, Union News, j. C. Penney,
McCrory, Photomaton and other re-
tail outlets. -
Open-Shoppers.
Back of the corporation is seen
Remington Arms Co., foe of the Ma
chinists Union, breaker of the metal
trades strike in Bridgeport, Conn,
in the postwar period, and manu-
facturer of guns, ammunition, type
writer's, office machinery and vari-
Gus metal products. Remington
takes over the production of auto
matte postage stamp selling ma
chimes, of which 10000 are in OPP
Grafton now, selling 120,000,000
stamps yearly. Within five years
$4,000 more stamp sellers will be
installed
Underwood also takes over the
genius of Joseph ]. Schermack, in
yentor of the talking automatic ma
chimes which now sells cigarettes
and makes change but which car
be turned into any sort of simple
merchandising. Schermack's ma.
chine, it has been said, "does every.
thing but slap man on his back
and ask him how his family is"
Thousands Face Elimination.
Following the success of Scher.
'nack's machine on Broadway, plans
are being made to place 100000
talking vendors throughout the
country. Two vendors, it is esti
mated, displace one clerk, or, az
Cameo executives put it, "release
him for more productive efforts"
Another new Remington machin,
sells gum and minis; 10000 are il
place now and within five years
100000 will be busy selling goods

 Story of Goethals

NEW YORK, Jan. "A. The New York Evening World today prints what is described as the inside story of the shearing of red tape that made possible the building of the Panama Canal by Major Goethals. who died here last Saturday. The story was told in confidence sometime ago.
 Attributing the real credit for the building of the canal to Theodore Roosevelt and John s. Stevens, who preceded Goethals as chief of construction in Panama, Goethals said:
 Stevens did half Of the work before I ever got there. but after l arrived, my moves were check ed at every stepA by the Commits sion which was supposed to sup ervise things.
 Finally I explained the situa- tion to the President. He agreed that the only way to get the canal built was to put me in complete charge. He directed me to draw up the order shearing the Commission of power but William Howard Taft, then Sec retary of War. with Attorney General Bonaparte, said the order would never be upheld by any court.
 The President shouted: We have got to get the canal built. If l sign this order are you sure you can do the job
 "The upshot was that the order was signed and went back to work. There was little trouble from the Commission after that and the canal was dug"

 President Coolidge is unable to understand why such large ap- propriation bills as that for the Post Office Department can be passed without arousing infiam- matory statements, whereas ap- prepriation bills for the Army and Navy always bring forth d&. sa4sr 4 bat zxsse ayu1t< about to be faced with dire con sequences.
