Operators from many rural com­
munities report the opening of their
respective territories on automatic
games in the past few weeks. Earn­
ings are reported exceptional, and
very little opposition from law en­
forcing bodies.
* * *
Texas operator did not keep their
word in attending the Pacific Coast
Show in September only being two
operators in attendance, Mr. A. C.
Hill, Vernon, Texas, and Mr. Harry
Drollinger, of Dallas, Texas, making
the trip by motor car, combining a
vacation trip with their Visit to the
show. Both gentlemen report a very
splendid show and a very fine vaca­
tion trip.
* * *
Jobbers of Texas have had an ex­
ceptional run on two or three new
one ball games in the last few weeks.
It is the old story again, the factory
can’t keep up with the sales but busi­
ness is going along in the same old
way, and there is a smile on every
operator’s face.
* * *
The Dallas City Local Organiza­
tion of operators met in their semi­
monthly meeting on Monday night,
September 16. The largest attend­
ance was registered of any meeting
ever held, due, of course, to the fact
that the boys had some very delicate
and complicated matters to thrash
out. However, the meeting was a
success, and the aggravating situa­
tions of many were overcome. The
Dallas branch is to be commended for
their splendid one hundred per cent
co-operation and functioning. The rest
of the country would do well to copy
after the local at Dallas.

Earl Reynolds, Maurie Gotlieb,
Less Franckrich, and Dale House of
Texas, very prominent distributors
and jobbers spent several days in
Chicago recently, contacting the man­
ufacturers, investigating new games,
and transacting business in general.
The boys report it was a very profit­
able trip, and one that is going to
be repeated often. They contacted
those that had the lines of merchan­
dise that they need for the next few
months, making arrangements to han­
dle the products. Needless to say the
trip to and from Chicago was a howl­
ing success, mostly howling. The
boys looked much better after their
trip, and it is supposed that the
enthusiasm that they had upon their
return was well founded.

Texas went wet by a special elec­
tion on August 24, and at the present
time, special session of the legisla­
ture are passing such bills as are
necessary to regulate the sales of
liquor in Texas. Naturally, the oper­
ators have their representatives in
Austin, looking out for the interest
of the operators in such legislation
as may be passed governing the sale
of intoxicating beverages.

The first annual meeting of the
Texas Independent Music Operators’
Association, was held in the beautiful
Jefferson Hotel room at Dallas, Sep­
tember 15, with an attendance of
seventy-nine. It was the grandest
meeting ever held in the State of
Texas, both from attendance and
financial success. Delegates from va­
rious counties throughout the State
were in attendance representing prac­
tically every club of operators in the
State. The meeting was very enthu­
siastic and the contributions were
given to the extent that it left the

ting under way in most sections of
the State, especially in the southern
part, and the operators are wearing
a broad smile as a result for the fall
crop means the operators’ harvest as
well. A splendid organization among
the operators has aided materially in
the profits of the industry. This fall
the operators as a whole are to be
congratulated upon the way they are
doing business this year. There is no
other state like Texas.
* * *
Arthur Hughes, a salesman for the
music department of the Electro Ball
Company, has just returned from a
business trip through New Mexico
and Colorado. Arthur reports busi­
ness clicking in those two states, and
you can believe Arthur when he
makes a statement.

The Federal Government is very
active at the present time in Texas,
regarding depositing of slugs in vend­
ing machines. Very recently a man
was fined many hundreds of dollars
for using slugs in marble machines.
There are several others out of jail
on bond. The bond being placed very
high, and the Government agents
have pledged their support to the
operator in fighting the slug evil.
Therefore, it looks like it won’t be
long now until there will be no slugs
played in amusement devices in
Texas.

H EAD Q U ARTERS
There’s a color and a sparkle about Hotel Sherman
that appeals to pin-game men. They like its loca­
tion right in Chicago’s brilliant Rialto— they like its
convenience to stores, offices, theatres, and all busi­
ness contacts. The fine food, the comfortable rooms,
and the low rates have a definite appeal. And when
they drive— they like the
fact that they can drive
right into Hotel Sherman.
