I called Williams. No answer.
I called Stern, they answered.
Stern succeeded. They kept open when Williams didn't. And kept open in the worst decade of coin op ever.

Quoted from Marvin:ever? I'm pretty sure every decade of coin-op pre-1900 was probably worse
I haven't seen the audits from the ancient coin-operated holy water dispensing machine invented by Hero of Alexandria in the first century. So until we gets those, decades pre-1900 are open to debate.
And the 1880's were rampant with coin operated vending machines and the rise of amusement machines like The Locomotive by William T. Smith, produced in Providence. We haven't seen those figures either.
