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!

50,000 JACK KNIVES
GIVEN AS PREMIUMS
0 ,0 0 0
“ More than 5
jack
knives have been sold in the
past 30 days to supply operators
of Esquire Premium Vendors,”
report officials of Victor Vend­
ing Corp., Chicago. “ This vol­
ume of premiums is an indica­
tion of the fast play being en­
joyed by operators of this new
merchandising plan. The Es­
quire Premium Vendor ranks
with the best penny machines
on the market, and is as popular
with operators and location
owners as ice cream sodas are
with children.
“ Notarized letters in our com­
pany’s files tell that many of the
Esquire Premium Vendors aver­
age between $1 to $3 a day.”
Victor has doubled produc­
tion to bring deliveries closer to
the tremendous demand. “ We
want to thank all our customers
for being so patient during the
time when deliveries wereslow,”
Victor executives said.
The premium insert is one of
the Esquire Vendor’s chief at­
tractions, being molded from
one piece of plastic. The insert
can be removed and replaced at
will without fear of breakage
or damage, making for easy
cleaning. Whenever the opera­
tor desires to change to straight
bulk vending of candies or nuts,
the premium insert is easily re­
moved.
“ Supplementing the knives,
pens, and pencils, a new line of
premiums will be made available
soon,”
Victor officials said.
“ These new items will be even
more generally useful and popu­
lar.”

G ORDON SUTTON
A t the recent Indiana State
Restaurant Association banquet,
the honor guest was Grace K.
Smith of Toledo, president of
the National Restaurant Asso­
ciation.
Greatly attracted to the beau-
y of the Wurlitzer 850 dis-
P ayed there, she expressed her
flin g s to Gordon B. Sutton,
Sa
manager of the Guarantee
Jlme,
Distributing Company, Wurlit-
zer’s Indianapolis distributor.
“ Naturally we were delighted
with the nice things Grace
Smith said about Victory Model
Wurlitzers,” commented Mr.
Sutton. “ They reflect a feeling
shared by thousands of restau­
rant owners from coast to coast
— for play appeal, eye appeal
and crowd pulling power, W ur­
litzer is way in the lead.”
