Mechanical Coffee Dispenser
Still Operates Nickel per Cup;
One of Many Mills Machines
By ED KITCH
ST. CHARLES. III. W Coffee
prices are soaring, but you can
still find a nickel cup of Java if
you know where to took. All you
have to do is go to one of Bert
Mills' mechanical coffee dispen
sers, turn a dial to select how you
want it served. Drop in a coin
and presto there's your five-cent
cup of coffee.
And if you don't have the right
change, the coffee robot will make
it for you.
You have a choice: black, with
su?ar, with cream, or with both.
More women take cream than
men. Texans like it black and
strong. New Englanders want plen
ty of cream. In the West and Mid
west, cream drinkers outnumber
those who take it black by about
2-1.
Mills, the man responsible for
mechanizing coffee-making, is the
Edison of coin-operated machines.
A spry and speedy talker of 62, he
owns 290 patents on vending ma-
Alaska City in
ml
Two Buildings
ANCHORAGE, Alaska Whit
tier, the southern port of the Alas
ka Railroad, is destined to be
come one of the country's unique
communities virtually a two
building town.
The Army Engineers' district of
fice has announced plans for a
14-story apartment building.
Whittier already is the site of
a fabulous military structure
which is sometimes known as "a
town under one roof." It houses
all the tenants service and enter
tainment facilities along with
bachelor living quarters.
Facilities of the "all under one
roof" type are adapted to the mil
itary shipping terminal because
of the limited space where the
mountains come down to the
shore. There are only about 100
acres of level land available.
The new structure will have
177 apartments of 1. 2 and 3
rooms for servicemen and their
families and quarters for 39 civil
ian bachelors.
Corn. Farming
Method Tried
BLOOMINGTON, 111. (A3) A
iew method of farming corn is
being tested on a large scale near
here by Theodore Funk. It re
quires the hooting of anyhyd
rous ammonia into the soiL
For second year planting, the
nitrogen fertilizer is applied
without plowing. It is expected to
boost yields to 125 bushels of
corn per acre.
A special mulch planter will be
used on 400 acres. It does several
jobs at one time. Sweeps 18
inches wide run 9 to 10 inches 'un
der the ground to loosen the
soil. Fertilizer is applied at that
depth. The same machine carries
36-inch sweeps that cut 3 to 4
Inches under the ground and fur

A stalk beater shreds all corn
stalks. A band of fertilizer is
placed at the side of each.
Actor Scoffs
At Colleagues
OMAHA (JP) Movie star Charl
ton Heston says:
You can't tell by watching an
actor in the movies whether or
not he is good. You can only tell
whether he has been well direct
ed. Heston, who has been on the
stage and in television as well as
the movies, said during a visit
here "the actor contributes very
little to a movie. On the stage,
the story is told with the actor,
and the actor is the medium."
A good movie director. Heston
holds, can take a bad actor and
make him appear adequate, at
least, on the screen, for the di
rector is actually the primary
creative artist.
Another thing:
Heston states he thinks the ac
tor's relationship with the audi
ence sometimes called empathy
is highly overrated.
"I can do just as well often
better before an empty house,"
he says.
Mishap Leaves
Oakclale Youth
Partly Paralyzed
Statesman News Service
OAKDALE Condition of
Michael Q'Keefe. 16-year-old son
of Mrs. J H. Mundt. who was
crititcally injured when a fly
wheel of a motor broke while he
was helping cut wood, is reported
unchanged at Salem Memorial
Hospital.
Doctors are waiting for the
open wound on his spine to heal
before operating to find out how
seriously his spina cord is in
jured. He is .paralyzed from the
waist down and is being kept in
fraction. His brother, A3C David
O'Keefe, who obtained special
leave from McChprd Air Base to
be near Michael, has obtained a
10-day extension to his lerve.
chines and mechanisms. They
range from weigh-yourself scales
to juke boxes, slot machines, cigar
ette vendors and beverage-by-the-bottle
dispensers.
The national mid-morning and
mid-afternoon coffee break is just
the situation Mills thirsts to cash
in on. There's a Dayton, Ohio, pub
lishing company that weekly dis
penses 45,000 nickel cups of coffee
to its employees, all from coffee
bars made by Mills.
It's part of the billion cups of
coffee he estimates his 15,000 coi
fee vendors will deliver this year,
half of them at five-cents each.
He foresees the day 100,000 cof
fee machines will serve America's
favorite brew in factories, offices,
hotels, bus depots and railway
trains.
Need Aroma
But Bert isn't quite satisfied with
the gadget. He's trying to figure
a way the aroma of brewing coffee
can shoot out of the machine and
entice customers to spend coins in
it.
"I think the number of cups dis
pensed by these machines would
shoot sky-high if it could be done,"
he said.
Today's instant coffees lack the
rich aroma of ground coffee
brewed in a pot, coffee-maker or
perculator. Mills says scientists
and food engineers are working on
this one, but nothing has been de
veloped synthetically to imitate the
real thing.
He figures it's like selling roasted
peanuts. More people would buy
them if they could smell them
roasting.
Mills inherited his knack with a
coin machine from his father, M.
B. Mills, who founded a coin ma
chine manufacturing business in
Chicago in 1894.
"I guess I was raised on coin
machines instead of a bottle,"
Mills says, chuckling.
Gambling Device
Among the first machines his dad
built was a gambling device called
a "trickle" coin machine. Popular
at the turn of the century, you'd
put a penny in a slot on the side of
the device and tap it with your
finger.
It would trickle down a series of
nail studs and find its way to win
or lose you a stick of candy or
chewing gum.
Mills devised his first coin-operated
machine in 1912. It was a
scale that gave honest weight for
a penny. Many still are in use
today.
The Mills coin-machine factory,
meanwhile, turned out thousands of
slot machines, known to everyone
as one-varmed bandits.
"For 35 years I laid out the per
centages on slot machines. The av
erage machine paid out about 85
per cent. The machine usually beat
the player because he didn't take
his winnings and walk away. He
foolishly played it back, trying for
the jackpot. Eventually the ma
chine will take you," Mills says.
Three years ago the slot machine
business was curtailed because a
federal law prevents sending them
across state lines. Mills refers to
the passing of the slots as though
a page from a calendar had been
torn away.
Music Machine
Mills owns 30 patents on the first
coin-operated music machine of its
kind a combination violin-player
piano. It was popular in the years
from 1910 through the '20's. They
were produced in volume as early
as 1912. Mills perfected a method
of cutting the player rolls, designed
a gadget to make the violin vibrate
and another one to keep it in tune.
"It has been 24 years since they
were last made, but some of them
still are playing today. Of course,
the player rolls are a bit patched
with tape, but they earn a good
profit for their owners," he said.
The first Mills juke boxes were
seen about 1904. They played wax
cylinders. Customers wound them
with a crank after putting a coin in
the machine. Mills improved it in
1915 and brought out the first au
tomatic amplified juke box in 1928.
A "Ferris wheel" held the rec
ords. As the selection moved into
position, a tone arm set itself on
the revolving record.
Mills, then with Mills Novelty Co.
invented the first coin-operated
soft drink dispenser in 1935.
Mills Novelty changed its name
in 1943 to Mills Industries because
its owners didn't think the word
novelty properly described the bus
iness. Mills Industries still manu
factures ice cream and soft drink
vending machines.
Mills set up Bert Mills Corp. in
1944, and sold his interest in MMs
Industries.
He developed his coffee machine
in 1946 and showed it a year later
at a Chicago coin machine trade
show
Lousy Coffee
"Everybody laughed." he said.
"It worked all right, but the coffee
was lousy. It finally broke us.
' We contracted to produce the
machines and had delivered sever
al hundred of them. After they
were put in service, the machines
clogged up because the system of
mixing hot water, powdered coffee,
powdered cream and granulated
sugar was undependable.
"We took the machines back and
remodeled them for half the cost
of the machinr.. We went in the
hole about $165,000," Mills said.
But Mills isn't one to be down
for long. He licked the coffee mix
ing problem by devising a polished
metal bowl in which the hot water
could swirl as it mixed with ingre
dients. With borrowed capital of $3,000,
he rented an old building in Lom
bard. 111., and was soon in business
again. Three years ago he again
was paying Uncle Sam a sizable
income tax. Last November he
moved his firm into new quarters
in St. Charles.
"We made $1,600,000 before tax
es last year. he says proudly. '
TV Realism
Overdone
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. CSV
Morris Ford, a Coopersville, Mich,
youngster and Henry Lieffers,
his grandfather, were deeply ab
sorbed in a television jungle
show when a tiger appeared in
the play.
"Don't worry," Lieffers yelled,
"I'll get that tiger."
He grabbed his grandson's air
rifle, thinking it -vasn't loaded.
Lieffers . got his tiger and the
television set, too.
OrganActs as
Radio Set
NEWPORT, Ark. (JP) Mrs. J.
A. Gregory was practicing on the
organ at St Paul's Episcopal
Church here when, suddenly, a
voice boomed out of the instru
ment. "I got to thinking about all the
funerals I had played for," said
Mrs. Gregory, "and it scared me
plenty."
Investigation showed that the
organ's amplifier had acted as a
receiver to pick up an amateur
radio broadcast
Stock Market
At New High
NEW YORK UP Profit-taking
poised a brief threat to the stock
market this week, but it recovered
strongly and moved on to new
heights.
One rather pronounced dip was
met with an equally strong recov
ery later, and the performance of
the market as a whole was a dem
onstration of basic strength.
The Associated Press average of
60 stocks gained 40 cents, the third
straight weekly advance, and
closed at $124.00. That constitutes
a new high mark for the year and
the highest level since April 17,
1930, when the average stood at
$124.30.
