“ The Friendly Adventurer” offers three plans
on H OW TO DO MORE W ORK. Here goes!
Plan No. 1 :
Take your toast and coffee on
the run in the morning! Don’t pay much at­
tention when you put on your coat and vest—
just slip them on and beat it for the office. Maybe
you’ll find that the coat and vest don’t match the
pants! You won’t want to let anybody know
about it, of course. As a result, you’ll sit right
close up to your desk all morning, and wait until
everyone has left at noon to sneak out. You’ll
not be able to circulate around the office and visit.
Result: You’ll get a pile of work done.
Plan No. 2 : (O f course, there will be skeptics
who will say that they take off their coats and
vests when at work anyhow, and that the first
plan isn’t any good). Then try this: Put your
shoes on in the dark, or at least without looking.
Chances are you’ll be wearing one black shoe and
one brown one. The will keep you at your desk,
unless you’re in the habit of rushing around the
office is your stocking feet!
Plan No. 3 : (I know that Plans Nos. 1 and 2
work; I’ll admit I’ve tried them!)
One day I’ll
probably come down to work without pants. When

They shall have music! Notes from the literary
crescendo of the record-makers.
From the new Columbia popular records: “ If
you’re draggin’ your coat behind ya and lookin
for a good sales fight, take the shillalah your
Daddy gave ya in one hand and Columbia’s new
Irish Album in the other and start painting the
town green. ERIN GO BRAGH — Songs of the
Emerald Isle, sung by Morton Downey, the Irish
Minstrel. Be Gorry and it’s a beauty! Both out­
side and in. ERIN GO BRAGH is as Irish as
Pat Dolan and as beautiful as the lyric tenor
voice of Morton Downey. If there’s an Irishman
in America who doesn’t go wild about it, he’s
sold himself out to the English.”
And from Columbia Masterworks (what re­
viewer says of Liszt’s SP AN ISH RHAPSODY)
— Cecil Betron, Detroit News: “ For a first re­
cording you will go far to find a more brilliant
piece of work than Liszt’s Spanish Rhapsody
which Columbia has just released in a two 12-
inch record set. The piano line is taken by Egon
Petri, distinguished Dutch pianist who has al­
ready done things for Columbia. The background
is provided by the Minneapolis Symphony.”

HOME RUN
The new outstanding ball-gum vendor
with a fascinating amusement feature.
(It’s legal everywhere.)
Home Run has a brand new and very
clever batting arrangement that is oper­
ated by a trigger which bats the ball
through the air.
Player receives a ball o f gum every time
a penny is inserted, except when a home
run is m ade; then the home run ball is
displayed just below in a separate pocket.
The merchant then awards the player for
skill, the ball is released and falls into cash
box fo r a record.
Home Run is operated with 180 count ball-
gum. Striped balls are used in Home Run
the same as in ordinary ball-gum vendors;
if the player should bat a striped ball into
the home run they are entitled to receive
a double award.
Home Run will be a vendor that will stay
on location permanently because it offers
the same appeal as ordinary ball-gum
vendors plus its beauty, attractive design,
unique amusement feature and the extra
award for skill. D on't delay, try Home
Run to-day— it’s a hit!
SIZE I l " x 2 1 " x l 5 "
Special Introductory Offer
Sample Home Run with approximately
5,000 balls of gum, only ................ $24.50 each
Home Run without ball-gum in lots of
10 or more .......................................... 19.50 each

Special Match Covers
For Cigarette Operators
One o f our members who realizes
the value o f consistent advertising
recently said that all businesses ad­
vertise in order to promote them­
selves towards bigger and better
profits, and yet, we who have one o f
the best means o f promotion, do
nothing about it. W e advertise an­
other man’s shoe polish, chewing
gum, or shaving cream. His sugges­
tion was that one type o f match o f
an outstanding design be made up
fo r all Association members. Mem­
bers would benefit in several ways by
accepting such a suggestion: first o f
all, the cost o f such matches when
ordered in bulk would provide a sav­
ing; and secondly, we could increase
sales in vending machines by consist­
ently hammering at the buying pub­
1141 DeKalb Avenue
lic to buy their cigarettes through
machines. An old adage o f adver­
tising is that “ Repetition makes
Reputation.” There is no greater
truth than this.
Meters To Return In
Highland Park
A fter removing parking meters
only two months ago at the petition
o f businessmen, the Highland Park
council today decided to reinstall the
meters on W oodward avenue and in­
tersecting streets in the business
district.
The council instructed City En­
gineer Lawrence W hitsit to receive
bids on the new meters, which will
probably be installed within a month.
The new meters will sell parking
space at the rate o f 12 minutes fo r
one cent.

Hawley Coins
New Slogan
Dan Hawley o f Modern Automatic
Exchange, Inc., Cleveland, who has
been designated official Bally slogan­
eer, announced his newest slogan
during the Bally’s Summer Show,
June 26 to June 29. “ I wear no man’s
collar,” Hawley proclaimed, “ but I ’m
satisfied with Bally’s tie.” Hawley
explained that he was referring to
the special neckties worn by dis­
tributors attending the Show. All
ties were the identical shade o f
crimson, inscribed in gold, “ I ’m tied
up with Bally.”
The
money
easier
than it
way some fellows use their
shows conclusively that it is
for a man to make money
is for money to make a man.
