"I've been in the coin-machine business all my life. Started back in the thirties. At that time the beer came in. The beer places and taverns just popped up overnight, thousands of 'em. When the beer places popped up, here came the machines." |
"Pretty soon I went full time into machines - I picked up the rubber machine line twenty five years ago. I knew for sure the demand was there. Fifteen years later I must have had about two thousand machines out." |
"They were all over South Texas. It was my specialty. I was selling five hundred gross of rubbers a week - five hundred gross a week! Not to mention givin' away fifty gross a month as free samples." |
