c1935 Vintage JENNINGS MILLS+ Silent Casino Vending Arcade Machines

Description

Minty crisp vintage no rips holes stains writing.
(Front of cover bottom - where distributors intentionally left blank for individual dealers to put their own info in - an Antiques store in Kentucky stamped its info and sent catalog to a collector customer as delightful historical item and reference)
(It is a fun catalog - selling words, the beauty of the ‘silent salesman’ - the profit far exceeds cost - in present tense talks of present successes, the bells and whistles users of machine find attractive and a fulsome roster of products. 1c 5c machines common. Includes ‘merchandisers’ where vend are prizes, products, tokens - assuming tokens may be redeemed for prizes or even cash? I don’t know what the prize laws were in 1935+).
(Black and white print and illustrations. Writer of content describes the colors and sounds - or silence - of machines - and emphasizes the actual machine is far better than illustration, etc. An ‘experience’ - probably a modern idea of dopamine lift - is being sold.)
