Underground Cable CANDY MERCHANDISING Stands should be constructed of materials that may easily be wiped clean. Soap leaves a film if not carefully rinsed off with warm water, and it is important to do this after each washing. Lighting should be steady and clear. A flickering bulb, unless used for effect, dis¬ torts the patrons view. Bulbs should be periodically inspected, and replaced if not giving a bright, clear light. Back-of-counter displays are effective, and should always be placed in a position where they will not be obscured by the attendant. If they are placed in a comer, or above the attendant’s head, a small spotlight will make them noticeable. Displays and posters are not effective when seen in a poor light. Display posters should be made with dur¬ able material and designed with bright colors. If well treated, they may be used many times, each with equal success. Slogans and “tricky” phrases usually please the candy-buyer. If well printed, they may be ideally placed in various parts of the theatre, constantly reminding the patron that its time to buy some delicious candy. “Novelty” campaigns can boost candy sales, and are relatively easy to plan. Fig¬ urines, carvings, dolls, toys, and other ob¬ jects will attract customers to the candy counter if they are situated in a well lighted and attractive position on the counter. If you spend a little extra time in improv¬ ing your merchandising procedures, you will find that candy bars can give you many extra profits. *Y,a* k" * $01 r?t RVCBj Without charge or obligation, please send me additional information on above items that are checked: Name .

Sweden Freezer’s new line of self-contained “SpaceSaver” models in both SoftServers and ShakeMakers measures only 143A" in width and 26" in depth. The SpaceSaver units have hermetically sealed condensing systems with solenoid con¬ trolled, screened capillary tube for trouble free maintenance. No switches, levers or valves demand manipulation or attention. A finger lift of the gate plunger starts the dasher motor and dispenses the product. On the ShakeMaker, placing the milk shake container into position to receive the product automatically lifts the gate, starts the dasher motor and mixes in the flavoring. PE-16 October 14, 1959
