Keeney Sensation In
“Quick Silver”
Operators and jobbers in important
Eastern cities had their first glimpse
of “Quick Silver” during January
when Mr. J. H. Keeney made a ten-
day trip demonstrating his revolu­
tionary new machine. Upon his re­
turn to Chicago, Mr. Keeney stated
that “Quick Silver” made a greater
hit with operators and jobbers than
any game or machine in his expe­
rience. The unanimous cry, accord­
ing to Mr. Keeney, w a s : “When do
we get machines?”
“Quick Silver” introduces the “Free
P la y ” fe a tu r e for th e firs t time in
coin machine history. Mechanical
means for recording rewards enable
a player to win from three to fifteen
free games on one coin and then to
“replay” games won without insert­
ing another coin or calling the mer­
chant to make the rewards. For ex­
ample, a player deposits one coin,
plays the machine and wins three free
games. The three free games are
registered on the tabulating device.
He replays the machine without de­
positing another coin, the tabulator
subtracting one free game, at the
time coin chute is pushed in. If, on
the second game, the player wins
three more free games, the tabulator
registers five free games. Then the
player perhaps uses up all his free
games and must insert another coin.
He calls the merchant only when he
is through playing, and then only if
he has free games coming to him.
“Quick Silver” boasts the advan­
tages of the automatic pay-out ma­
chine, without making any actual pay­
outs; the recording and anti-cheat
advantages of the ticket game with­
out using a ticket; the fascination of
the pin game, without troubling the
merchant after each game to add the
score and make the rewards.
As a prospector would say: “It
looks like the real ‘picture rock.’ ”

Drollinger Deer Barbecue
Part of the crowd of 150 friends of Harry Drollinger who attended the annual Deer
Barbecue on January 13.
Entertainm ent, and how!
Guests witnessed a 16-act floor show and danced from
noon till midnight.
Harry I. Drollinger’s Annual Party
and Deer Barbecue, held Sunday,
January 13 on the beautiful roof
garden of the Jefferson Hotel, Dallas,
was bigger and brighter than last
year’s affair, except for the illness of
Mrs. Drollinger who was suddenly
stricken while at the party. Mrs.
Drollinger was rushed to the hospital
for an emergency operation and is
reported to be out of danger and re­
covering nicely.
More than 150 brother operators,
friends and customers attended the
party, a few coming long distances
accommodations to all Michigan and
Canadian Coin Machine men, their
families and friends who wish to avail
themselves of a very low round trip
rate to Chicago and return. Tickets
will be honored on any of the six
daily trains returning. All out of
Detroit men will please address War­
ren Zerby, assistant secretary, Auto­
matic Merchandisers Association of
Michigan, at 6329 Diversey Ave., De­
troit, for reservations and further
details.

sales manager of the Rudolph Wur­
litzer Mfg. Company, was present and
acted as toastmaster at the huge
banquet while Harry remained at the
bedside of Mrs. Drollinger. Many of
the guests arrived on Friday evening.
Roy Newman’s broadcasting orches­
tra supplied music for dancing during
the afternoon and evening. Refresh­
ments were served from noon until
midnight. At six o’clock dinner was
served and a sixteen-act floor show
entertained the guests.
Free Transportation
from Detroit
Ben J. Marshall of the Marshall-
Lemke Company, Detroit, was a Chi­
cago visitor during- the month, being
called to the bedside of his mother
here who is critically ill.
According to Mr. Marshall, fifty
Detroit and Canadian operators will
attend the Coin Machine Exposition
in February as guests of Marshall-
Lemke Company. Two special cars
have been chartered for the trip.
Operators who purchase three new
games from the firm before show
time will have their railroad fare paid
