where to go for a good time,
they invariably steer you to the

paraphernalia for good times
available at this spot now is a
new Wurlitzer Colonial Model.
Seated at the table beside it
when this picture was taken
were: R . J. Mason of the Cen­
tral D is tr ib u tin g Company,
Wurlitzer distributors; F. D.
Clemens, manager of the “ Over­
flow C l u b R a l p h
Ramsey,
Wurlitzer music merchant and
W alt Conley, assistant at the
Club.
Reports are that Overflow
customers have literally over­
flowed with praise fo r the
beauty of this phonograph and
keep the coin box overflowing
with nickels, dimes and quarters
practically all the time.

wee^ previous to Louis-
Vl e s introduction to “ Swing
and Sway” by Sammy Kaye,
Ben Boyer installed the above
display in the theatre lobby. It
remained there during the week
of Kaye’s stay. It attracted tre­
mendous attention on the part
o f theatre-goers.
It proved
mighty smart merchandising
for Wurlitzer phonographs.

Result: This famous chain is
now Wurlitzer-equipped, and a
new unit just building will have
concealed speakers in the ceil­
ing and built-in w iring for a
great array of wall boxes and
remote control equipment.
This rather sounds like presi­
dent W. O. Wheeler was “ sold”
on Wurlitzer automatic music.
He is ! But it wasn’t easy at the
start.
Despite the fact that Mr.
Wheeler is from Indiana, he has
traits that might lead you to be­
lieve he is from Missouri. He’s
got to be shown! And it took a
bit of showing, but in the end,
Paul Jock could release the good
news, “ W urlitzer’s the W in­
ner !”
Today W. 0. Wheeler’s en­
thusiasm for Wurlitzer phono­
graphs can be best described by
the gentleman’s own initials—
WOW!
