Mills Novelty Company
The Mills Novelty Company, Incorporated of Chicago, Illinois was once a leading manufacturer of coin operated machines, including slot machines, vending machines, and jukeboxes, in the United States. Between about 1905 and 1930, the company's products included the ''Mills Violano-Virtuoso'' and its predecessors, celebrated machines that automatically played a violin and, after about 1909, a piano. By 1944 the name of the company had changed to ''Mills Industries, Incorporated''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History - Slot Machines )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mills Soda Machines )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WW2 Pinball Stories - Industry People and Mfrs. )〕 The slot machine division was then owned by ''Bell-O-Matic Corporation''.〔 By the late 1930s, vending machines were being installed by ''Mills Automatic Merchandising Corporation'' of New York.
==Family==
The origins of the business lie with Mortimer Birdsul Mills, who was born in 1845 in Ontario, Canada but who later became a citizen of the United States, resident in Chicago, Illinois. Mortimer Mills would have 13 children. One son, Herbert Stephen Mills, was born in 1872 when his father was about 27.〔 In 1892, Bert E. Mills, the youngest of Mortimer Mill's children was born.〔 In about 1895, Fred L. Mills, the first of Herbert Mills' sons, was born. Ralph J. Mills, Herbert's second son, was born in July 1898.〔 In about 1900, Herbert Mills, the third son of Herbert Stephen Mills was born. His younger brother, Hayden ("Bill") Mills, was born two years later in about 1902.〔 The Mills brothers were raised in Oak Park, Illinois, and continued to live in that area until at least the mid-1930s.〔 In 1929, Herbert Mills had died aged 57, leaving a fortune to his wife and eight children.〔 The business was continued with Fred L. Mills, Herbert's first son, taking over as president〔
〕 while his three brothers, Ralph, Herbert, and Hayden held other top management positions.
