Vets Combine Idea And Assets to Start Business With Robot Coffee Maker A I By 15IILIK WI1EEL.OCK Newsfeatures PHILADELPHIA A couple of tx-soldiers who staked their brains, brawn and $3 0Mt on building a vending machine for dealing out Wncht Field. Dayton. O., in 1945. Each wanted to get into business for himself as a manufacturer. So 2nd Lt. Rudd and Corp. Meli- m atom ! I SPECIAL I I In tingly gave them an idea. "We headed out for the post exchange about 10 o'clock one morning for coffee," Rudd re called. "But the door was locked and a sign said the post com mander had ruled out mid-morning java for the duration. "We hunted up a soft drink ma chine, spent our nickels and got to dreaming. Why not a machine to deal out a hot cup of coffee? We talked about it again a few nights later when Mrs. Melikian served instant coffee at their apartment." ' Rudd and Melikian, both mech anical engineers, went to work building a model. By the time Melikian headed back to his home in Philadelphia early in 1916, they had models of work ing parts for a machine, a patent attorney on a retainer in Wash ington, and $3,000 of pooled funds. "By the time I got out of the Army a month later," Rudd said, "Melikian had sold his dad, a North Philadelphia butcher, on let ting us use half of his double gar age rent free." They set up a company, Rudd Melikian. Inc., and got the finan cial support of a super market owner in Dayton, O. With a going concern of less than a dozen stockholders, who put up about $75,000. Rudd and Meli kian hired an electrical engineer, Kirk Mahigjan, and turned out their first model machine. Their robot coffee server re sponds to a nickel with a paper cup, a small wooden spoon, steaming hot coffee and sugar and cream if the customer pushes All You Can Eat For 50 Cents OZARK.

Garrett Announces Price Reduction Oh Hotpoint Line Garrett Furniture Store, ' local dealer for Hotpoint electrical ap pliances, is announcing today price cuts of as much as 10 per cent on ranees, refrigerators, disposal's and water heaters. "Inflation is very much like the weather in that everybody tains about it but nobody does anything about it." a spokesman for the dealer and manufacturer said. "Price reductions at a lime line this when appliances like these are so scarce is news in itself. But all the more noteworthy is the fact that these price reductions which run as high as $20 on some mod els are made in the face of the biggest demand for Hotpoint prod ucts in the company's history. -Certainly, this is proof that this j- --. .

U ' NDOUBTEDLY the greatest current threat to America's progress and prosperity is inflation ... if unchecked, spiralling prices and wanes threaten to wipe out many of the gains made by this country. In an effort to check this threat, the Gen eral Electric Company has taken the initiative by re ducing prices on many of its products. With a firm conviction in the soundness of this program, Hotpoint an affiliated company of General Electric is proud to join this crusade by announcing sweeping price reduc tions on practically its full line of household appli anceseffective at once. This voluntary price reduction amounting in actual savings to you of as much as $20 on some items is being made purely in the public interest. And some of the greatest savings are on the most popular-priced models. We expect to maintain these prices provided there is no further increase in our costs of labor and materials, and that there is no distortion of materials through rationing or new allocations. Never have Hotpoint products been, more in demand. Despite the fact that new production records are be ing made through the most significant expansion pro gram in the appliance industry the demand still con tinues to out-pace our ability to supply. Dealers tver the country report that more and more people placing orders for Hotpoint products, and that IN will not be satisfied with some other brands thatrf be more readily available. Equally significant is the fact that these price cu5 ply to Hotpoint's brand new 1948 models, most of 'H have just recently been introduced with many n features . . . appliances which dealers and the p"1 alike acclaim as truly "post war" appliances.
