We've talked about the Victor Comptometer, at one time a common
business machine.

In the 1960s Victor diversified. They still made adding machines,
but they also had the Daisy rifle company:

Another Victor subsidiary was Valley Pool Tables, which were coin
operated. Billboard magazine had an ad (Victor Comptometer is in
small print.)

You can also scroll through the issue, which covers the amusement
industry. Interesting, and different from what programmers were
generally used to.
