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!

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.
