Purchase 55 Meters
For Small Town
F IN D
Art Reiber, operator from
New York who visited Chicago
recently, thinks it might be an
excellent idea to have an exhibit
of the old time coin machines at
the annual convention. If nec­
essary, Reiber thinks it would
be all right to charge admission
to the exhibit.
“ Lots of interest has been
shown by operators in the old
time amusement gam es/’ Reiber
declared, “ and I am sure that
all operators would be tickled to
have a chance to see what the
first machines looked like.”
The largest collection of such
equipment, as most operators
know, is located at the Boyer
Museum in Chicago.
T H E Y
Willoughby, Ohio.— A contract for
55 parking meters for the main street
of this town was signed by the may­
or. Meters will be installed by the
Dual Parking Meter Company and
are the same type as used in Cleve­
land.

Three men walked into a lo­
cation in a small Illinois town
and told the location owner they
were sent to pick the phono­
graph up for repairs. The loca­
tion owner listened to them po­
litely, and while they were busy
unhooking the machine, he pro­
ceeded to make a telephone call
from a rear room.
As the boys were about to
haul the machine out the door,
the location owner appeared
with a shotgun. Three very
frightened men made a run for
their truck. As they gave the
motor the gas, the location
owner popped into the doorway
and let fly with both barrels.
As far as we know, about the
only damage done was to the
back of the truck. It was well
peppered with buck shot.
M oral: Guys who steal phono­
graphs may get buck shot be­
hind.

Time Out
“ So your new boy friend is getting
to be quite a problem.”
“ Well, we spend most of our time
wrestling with my conscience.”
H e: “ If I kiss you, will you talk?”
She:
“ Not while you’re kissing
me
Here is one about a girl who tried
to sell subscriptions to the Saturday
Evening Post — but all the men
wanted to take Liberties.

When two is company, three’s the
result.
George Washington was first in
war, first in peace and first in the
hearts of his countrymen — but he
married a widow.
“ I believe,” said the impatient man
as he put aside the telephone, “ that
I’ll go fishing.”
Didn’t know you cared for fish­
ing.”
I don’t ordinarily. But it’s the
only chance I have of finding myself
at the end of a line that isn’t busy.”
A timid little man was about to
take an examination for life insur­
ance.
His more dominating, com­
manding and better half was at his
side.
“ You don’t dissipate, do you?”
asked the doctor. “ Not a fast liver,
are you?”
The man hesitated a moment, look­
ed a bit frightened, then replied in
a small piping voice:
“ I sometimes chew a little gum.”
—o—
A
fly was walking with her
daughter over the head of a very
bald man.
“ Things certainly have changed,”
she said. “ When I was your age this
was all thick woods.”
A Scot went to Australia. When he
returned three years later he found
his three brothers, all with beards,
at the railway station.
“ W hat’s the big idea?” he asked.
“ Ye know quite well ye took the
razor awa’ wi’ ye,” was the reply.
—o—
“ Is your boy Josh going back to
college?”
“ Yes,” replied Farmer Corntossel.
“ It’ll cost something to send him, but
it’ll be worth a good deal to keep him
from interferin’ with practical work
around the place.”
When in Rome do as the Romeos do.
Our girl once thought she had a
genuine sealskin coat— but there was
something bunny about it.
W aiter: “ Sir, when you eat here
you do not need to dust off the
plate.”
Customer: “ Beg pardon, force of
habit. I’m an umpire.”
A bathing beauty contest is often
won by the girl who gets a head start.
She turns the judge's head.
An old lady walked into the court
and said to the judge, “ Are you the
judge of reprobates?”
“ I am judge of Probate,” he re­
plied.
"W ell, that's it, I suspect. You
see, my husband died detested anti
left me several infidels, and I want
to be their executioner.”

It’s better to have loved and lost
than never to have known the facts
of life.
Stranger
at
crossroads
store:
“ Who’s the close-mouthed fellow over
there in the corner? He hasn’t spoken
a word for the last fifteen minutes.”
Another Village Loafer: “ Him?
That’s Pete Blackmore.
He ain’t
close-mouthed— he’s jess waitin’ the
storekeeper to bring back the spit­
toon.”
“ So, you only work while your boss
is looking?”
“ Yes, I ’m an artist’s model.”
She: “ Tell me dear, did you ever
go on a honeymoon before?”
H e: “ Well, not to speak of.”
Here’s an easy way to cure a
kleptomanic take him to the flea
“ Lady, if you’ll give us a nickel, my
brother will imitate a hen.”
“ W hat will he do?” asked the lady,
“ cackle like a hen?”
“ Naw,” replied the boy in disgust,
“ he wouldn’t do a cheap imitation like
that. He’ll eat a woim.”
Nervous Passenger: “ Don’t drive
so fast around the corners. It makes
me nervous.”
Chauffeur: “ Do what I do — shut
your eyes when we come to a com er.”
“ Does your husband talk in his
sleep?”
“ No, and it’s terribly exasperating.
He just grins.”
H e: “ Are you fond of indoor
sports?”
She: “ Yes, providing they go home
early.”

In a battle of tongues a woman
can never hold her own.
Judge to Prisoner: “Say, when
were you born?”
(No reply).
Judge: “I say, when was your
birthday?”
Prisoner: “ W ot do you care? You
ain’t gonner give me nothin’ ! ”
The teacher turned on little fred­
die. “ Young man,” she said, “ I will
have to keep you in after class
again.”
“ Okay!” replied the eight-year-old.
“ But I ’ll have you know that half
the town says we’re going steady!”
A seemingly stupid young fellow
was being bullied in cross-examina­
tion. “ Do you ever work?” demand­
ed the attorney.
“ Not much,” the witness agreed.
“Have you ever earned as much
as $10 in one week?”
“ Ten dollars? Yeh. A couple of
times.”
“ Is your father regularly employ­
ed?”
“Nope.”
“Isn’t it true that he’s a worthless
good-for-nothing, too?”
“I don’t know about that,” said
the witness. “But you might ask him.
H e’s sittin’ there on the jury.”
