“Babe” Surprises
Trade Again
Here It Is !
A New Midget Cylinder Key
Padlock Des'gned Especially for
Peanut Machines
“ Babe” Kaufman, “America’s Only
W oman Jobber,” visited Chicago this
month and startled the trade by plac­
ing a new machine with a prominent
Chicago manufacturer. This proves
that the “Babe” is making good on
her promise to present the trade with
“two new babies.” Arrangements are
said to have been completed with the
Chicago firm to manufacture her m a­
chine but details are not to be an­
nounced for a few weeks.
W hile in Chicago “ Babe” had occa­
sion to meet A rthur Burrows of Lon­
don and his son Arthur, Jr., at a
party of coin machine men, and
chances are that Mrs. Kaufmann
found a match for her wit and humor
in the person of “A rt” Burrows.

W ashington, May 1. — Citing
the fact millions of newspapers
are sold daily at three cents
each, Senator Vandenberg (R.)>
Michigan, introduced a bill re­
cently for coinage of a three-
cent piece. The coin would be
three parts copper and one part
nickel.
Volume Production
Lowers Cost
Bally M anufacturing Company an­
nounces that the extra charge for the
“plug-in” type “ Rocket” has been dis­
continued. This extra charge was due
to the extra cost of the special 110
volt universal motor and other neces­
sary electrical equipment. The de­
mand for t h e “plug-in” “ Rocket” has
now reached such proportions that
great economies in the cost of these
parts have been effected; and Bally
is passing the savings on to their cus­
tomers. The “plug-in” type “ R o c k e t ,”
which is now the same price as the
Battery type, operates direct from
any 110 volt electric light or power
circuit, both Alternating and Direct
Current, any standard frequency.
Jim Buckley, Bally’s general sal^s
manager, states that “Rocket” sales
volume reached new peaks in April,
following favorable decisions which
opened up many new locations and
new territory for the check-separator
Model “Rocket.”
Report Run on
Streamline
Jim Buckley, genera] sales m a n a g e r
of the Bally Manufacturing Company,
reports that the demand for “ Stream­
line” has reached the proportion of
a run. The automatic Progressive
Score Device has appealed to the
trade, says Jim , and production has
had to be speeded up to take care
of the demand.

A genuine Indian totem pole is now
on display at the Rock-Ola Manufac­
turing Corporation offices, the gift
to Mr. Rockola by John D. Roberts
of Western Distributors, Inc., Seattle,
Wash., “for extraordinary achieve­
ments by the Rock-Ola firm in pro­

A new operators association is
being organized in Yonkers, N. Y.,
according to recent reports, and a
special meeting for the purpose was
scheduled to take place at the Travers
Clubrooms, 171 North Broadway,
Yonkers on May 21st. Mr. H. L.
Haskin, Yonkers operator, is credited
with starting the movement with the
belief that the problems of operators
in Westchester County, New York,
can be best met by such an operators’
organization. The organization is
tentatively planned for operators of
legitimate types of skill and amuse­
ment machines.
The first carload of amusement
games ever to be shipped east from
the Pacific Coast left Los Angeles
late in April, consigned to Irving
Bromberg Company in New York
City. The car contained more than
400 Contact games manufactured by
the Pacific Amusement M anufactur­
ing Company and was valued at more
than $21,000.
In the car are all four sizes of
Contacts as manufactured by the firm,
and this first carload shipment from
here was made to augment the games
now being turned out by the Chicago
plant of the firm.

David C. Rockola, president of the
Trrn’ is now said to brushing up on
udian lore in order to translate the
ornate carving on the pole.

spent several days in Kansas, Missouri
and Oklahoma, calling on their job­

more enthusiasm among the trade
than any other counter reel-type ma­

aPPears that the production records
set by their “ Dandy Vender” and
“Pok-O-Reel” are sure to be broken.
A large number of their jobbers have
