...Though Seeburg's main business is in phonographs, its main interest at present is in the still fertile realm of coin machines purveying other commodities than music. Recently Seeburg engineers have perfected ice cream and Coca-Cola vendors. Mr. Seeburg got interested in merchandise vending machines in England, where cigaret machines first came into general use, where as early as 1932, at the London Zoo, visitors ta the seals could operate for sixpence a herring hurling machine...
