NEW YORK—Any news about cig- arettes is always of value to cigarette machine operators. So, we give you the latest. All producers expect 1957 to set all kinds of records in produc- tion. It is now predicted that total consumption in 1957 may again be close or higher than the 1952 record. The filter tip accounted for about % of all domestic consumption, and is expected to reach 40% this year. It is also stated that now that all major companies are represented in the regu- lar king-size and filter markets, a halt to the new-brand race may be ex- pected. Excluding consumption for the armed services, production of 394 billion cigarettes matches the preced- ing record set in 1952.

Yet, since the location owner and the operator are “considered” This might all seem a bit far-fetched for some operators who by strangers to be “partners” how come, then, the actual split of the are reading this.

The Cash Box has been crusading so hard for its “10^ Play Plus” plan. All the location owner can charge against his 50% of the gross intake is the use of electric current (and that only when the machine Regardless of what part of this plan best suits the operator, the is actually operating) as well as rent per square foot (according to fact remains that it is a plan to help the operator enjoy a more what rent he pays per square foot) for the space the machine occu- equitable share of the gross receipts from his machines. pies.
