Vending Times was founded in 1962 to serve the coin-op industry. It broadened its scope to encompass full line vending, soft-drink bottling, and operators of street cigarette, candy and jukebox routes. It continued to broaden its scope, including bulk vending, office coffee service, and mobile catering. Circa 1971, VT acquired Vend, a publication launched in 1946.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“False history gets made all day, any day,
the truth of the new is never on the news
False history gets written every day
...
the lesbian archaeologist watches herself
sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
asking the clay all questions but her own.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Universal history is the history of a few metaphors.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
