Adding to the interest generated by the new products, PAC Machinery introduced a promotion entitled: "Where's Jeff? The game challenged visitors to match cleverly marked machines (a postage stamp-sized picture of Thomas Jefferson) with a list of discreet machine functions. The prize for each of eight correct answer was a U.S. Thomas Jefferson $2 bill. The company awarded nearly $800.
