YOUNGEST WURLITZER OP­
ERATOR in the State of Florida is
husky, wide - eyed, 8 - months - old
Fletcher G. Fuller, Jr. His dad
opemtes the Fuller Music Company
in Ocala, Florida and reports that
the youngster certainly goes for
Wurlitzer Phonographs in a big
way. So does his dad for that mat­
ter, as he comments on the steadily
increasing profits he enjoys with
his Wurlitzer operation.
