Rex Ball, a New Zealander who had emigrated to South Africa, was owner of the Kiwi Novelty Company Pty., Ltd., Johannesburg and Kenilworth Showland, the Beach, Durban, both in South Africa. He entered the coin machine business in 1933 operating six Mills candy vendors. He formed the Kiwi Company with his brother Darcy in 1936.
