Automatic Age

Issue: 1935 June

IT’S WHAT THE P
u b lic
Here's one example from hundreds. For two solid
hours in a popular Chicago restaurant, anywhere
from twelve to twenty-five people eagerly crowded
around a newly placed HOMESTRETCH. Not for a
moment was HOMESTRETCH idle. Players literally
nudged each other aside to be next. Two other
makes of machines that had been "going good,"
were completely ignored. The HOMESTRETCH op­
erator was present. He'd never seen anything like it.
The location owner immediately wanted HOM E­
STRETCH in every one of his chain of restaurants.
Similar scenes are being enacted all over the United
States. It's the most riotous, astounding response
ever recorded. Operators who own, or have seen,
HOMESTRETCH are burning up the wires with orders
for more and more machines. As one operator sum­
med it up, "the public here is 'horse race crazy.1 "
W e are not exaggerating in the least when we say
that player enthusiasm for HOMESTRETCH is so
hactic that it is almost incredible.
DECIDES THAT COUNTS
Simple, Direct, Tense Action
HOMESTRETCH is exciting to watch. Six horses are
poised on the board. The ball is shot. A horse sprints
forward or several horses. No balls in holes, no de­
lay. Action is fast and furious. W e believe the se­
cret is the likeness to a real horse race. Players and
spectators get so excited that they want to yell for
their favorites— and not infrequently do. There have
been horse race tables before— will be again: but
NOTHING LIKE HOMESTRETCH.
Rush Your Request for Price and Details
There's reason to hurry. No mass production for A.
B. T. No flooding the market. Every operator must
be protected against ruinous competition. HO M E­
STRETCH is A. B. T. quality; trouble free, built for
long service. The price is right, within reach of every
operator. Circular shows machine in full colors, give*
full details. Orders are swamping us right now. So
don't delay.
