Buys Music Route
for Gash
In purchasing the entire operating
equipment of the Peoples Novelty
Company of Quincy, Illinois, M. W.
(Marty) Arnold of the A. & M. Nov­
elty Company has closed one of the
largest deals in the state of Missouri.
The 98 phonographs involved in the
transaction, operating in the States
of Illinois and Missouri, changed
hands on a cash basis.
It was only several months ago that
Mr. Arnold purchased the 30 phono­
graph route of the Central Novelty
Company of Quincy, Illinois, and be­
fore that he took over the Leonard
Novelty Company who operated 20
phonographs.
These deals brought
the A. & M. Amusement Company up
to the front ranks in the music op­
erating organizations in that part of
the State.
There are now three branches op­
erating: one at Shelbyville, Missouri,
which is the home office; another at
Macon, Missouri, where H. P. Arnold,
a brother, is manager and part own­
er; while at Barry, Illinois, Charles
Hoyt, is manager and part owner.
This organization was founded seven
years ago and includes a staff of five
service men to keep the machines in
perfect order.
Joins Oriole Firm
Mr. E. W. Brickman has been
chosen to head the new special sales
department of the Oriole Coin Ma­
chine Company. His plans call for
improvement of conditions in certain
territories and to further the sale of
equipment which is best suited to
bring greater returns to the oper­
ators.

Music Ops Enlarge
Ass’n Office
With its ranks increasing rapidly,
the Phonograph Operators Associa­
tion of Eastern Pennsylvania and
New Jersey has decided to move to
larger quarters in Philadelphia. It
will be located in Rooms 408-409-410
of the Schaff Building, 15th and Race
Streets, after May 1st.
In order to further swell the ranks
of the organization Jack Hammond,
business manager, plans a very ex­
tensive campaign for new members.
The result of this drive will bring
concerted action from all the oper­
ators in getting favorable legislation,
as well as a great saving in volume
buying so that operators may benefit.
Branches have been set up in New­
ark, Central Pennsylvania, and only a
short time ago one was established in
Washington for the Baltimore and
upper Virginia section.

Wm. (Bill) Shayne, head of the
Shayne-Dixie Music Company, has
been installed as exalted ruler of
Miami lodge No. 948, Benevolent
Protective Order of Elks, Miami. As
chairman of the Elk’s annual charity
show, held in Bayfront Park recently,
Bill Shayne’s committee was able to
raise $875. This amount will be used
by the organization to further its
good charitable work.

that Mr. Rowlette lost about a
pound of sunburned skin on the
beach, but in all other respects
seems fit as a fiddle to carry on
his daily task with the Popmatic
Manufacturing Company.
Speaking of pounds — it is
rumored that Mr. Rowlette, who
is six feet two inches tall and
weighs 250 pounds, tussled with
a sailfish weighing 168 pounds
in Miami and came out victor­
ious. Some fisherman— and some
fish!
“Oh, look! There’s Gus Pumper­
nickel.”
“You mean Gus Pumper. The poor
guy hasn’t a nickel to his name these
days.”

Several big orders were ob­
