IN FAIRNESS TO A LL/
Reprinted from Chisago County Press, Lindstrom, Minnesota
Dear Editor:
In fairness to all concerned and
in reply to your published letter
of last week regarding pin games.
Not being a crank on these, or
an enthusiast for them I would
like to clarify the following facts,
as I see them. Facts were brought
out in the last letter that the
Press, Sheriff, County Attorney,
etc., had not taken action on the
matter. Let us add to these,
dealer, customer and disinterested
individual.
There are several types of games
in use and we might ask a ques­
tion or two. Should the bridge
player be condemned and placed
in a class with the poker player?
Cannot a clean game of football,
baseball, be made a game of evil
by excessive betting? Such it is
with pin ball games. The legiti­
mate game offers additional games
as an award of skill and are not

interesting and attractive. Recog­
nizing this, then if they must play
pin ball, let them play it in the
church with the proper supervi­
sion. No one has ever to my
knowledge criticized bowling, and
I can see little difference in using
a ball to knock over pins or using
a
ball to drop into score holes.
An injustice has been done for
criticizing our local authorities as Fifty years ago such a prospect

But these games should not be
condemned for the reason that
there are in the county four or
five illegal machines; such as race
horse types, and camouflaged slot
machine types and in the better
places of business these are not
found.
Visits Corn Belt
PENNY-PACK 1
Eddie Ginsburg, head of the At­
las Novelty Corporation of Chicago,
returned to his desk last week after
a short trip through the State of Iowa.
He contacted a number of his cus­
tomers and finds them optimistic
about the coin machine business for
the coming year.
“They are all looking forward to a
good year out in the heart of the
corn-belt,” Eddie reported.
“Prac­
tically every operator and jobber with
whom I had the pleasure of speaking
said that he will be on hand for the
big Show. They’re all set to view the
new releases, and, in my opinion,
they’re coming to buy as well as look!”
