PlastiC'Coated Cup For Hot Beverages
A XEW plastic-coated cup for serving hot beverages has been placed on the market by the Lily-Tulip Cup Corporation, New ^'ork. The cup is called the “China-Cote.”
The manufacturer states that the plas
tic coating gives the cup a “feel” that is “china-like” in addition to providing it with rigidity and strength. It is also stated that
laboratory tests of the cup showed that when coffee is served in it, no “change in the flavor” is produced.
The cup has been constructed with two features that are designed to facilitate its use in vending machines. These are a special precision-rolled, plastic-coated rim and an interlocking, broad-base bottom to assure “non-tip” landing.
The cup is available in two designs — for vending use, a brown-and-white checked pattern with a conventionalized brown-leaf overlay; and a white leaf pattern against a ceramic-tone gold.
Automatic Vending Makes Big Strides
CIGARETTES, Candy and soft drinks were the top-ranking products in sales through vending machines during 1955, according to a year-end review of that industry made by Robert Z. Greene, president of the Rowe Manufacturing Company, Inc. and chairman of the executive committee of the Automatic Canteen Company of America.
The vending industry, which recorded sales of one and three-quarter billion dollars in 1955, made giant strides, he stated, as added consumer acceptance hiked milk vending sales, machines of larger capacity and greater compactness were produced, and vendors found their way into more and more factories to help feed employees.
