ARE YOU READY
for something that is
really better
*

Almost every day, you run into announcements of “ something sensational.”
But when the shouting stops and the smoke clears away, what have you?
In two weeks or less, the ROCK-OLA MANUFACTURING CORPORATION
will have ready for delivery two new games. To tell you they are world-beaters
is not, perhaps, the best way to convince you.
Instead, we are going to leave it up to the machines themselves to tell
the story. W e do know from preliminary tests that the machines have real
earning power.

One of the new games will be called WINGS. It has everything a great
game should have.
WINGS is of the pin-type variety. But it has daringly new features. For
example, WINGS has a moving playing field . . . a ball-rest to aid the player’s
skill . . . a super-sensitive plunger . . . and a field layout that gives the ball a
sweep and movement that will make a hit with every player. WINGS can be
had for either l c or 5c play—and for high-powered profits!

SW EEPSTAKES
Race Horse games are today enjoying nation-wide popularity. Every wide­
awake operator knows that.
But— one thing has been needed right along: A real game. A game that
never fails to work. A game that will draw the crowds week after week without
let-up. A game that has real beauty. And, above all, a game that has all
the lure and all the fascination of the race track.
Exactly such a machine is Rock-Ola’s OFFICIAL SWEEPSTAKES.
It is official in every sense of the word. And it’s the real thing. As proof
we offer, among other things, a Pari-Mutuel feature that makes possible chang­
ing odds.
This feature can’t help but have positive appeal for every race-horse fan,
every player, every person who has ever had anything to do with amusement
machines.
Now then, we are going to ask you to do something you possibly never
did before. And that is, to place your orders now —right today, so that you
can be reasonably sure of prompt delivery.
True, you haven’t seen the machines. But we have given you an idea—
and we back you up 100%. 7 days after you get your machine, if you are not
more than satisfied in every way—return the machines and every penny of your
money will go right back to you the same day. The price on either WINGS
or the OFFICIAL SW EEPSTAKES for sample machines is $19.50 tax paid.
