them—however discreetly their use may be put
to. At best, the locations which would demand
such records are by far a very small minority.
Revenue from these locations is not sufficient to
pay expenses and show a profit. The risk involved
for the small, momentary gain is too great. It
jeopardizes substantial business.
Good music by name bands and leading artists
have done their share to boost the popularity of
the automatic phonograph business. Your future
is assured by continuing the policy of furnishing
good music by leading bands and artists.
There is no better advice on the subject than
Jack Nelson’s article, “Keep the Door Closed on
Suggestive Records” appearing on page 13.

“RED HOT and F R E E !” blared an advertise
ment one week last month, wherein a national
advertiser offered phonograph operators a record
ing of two “tunes.”
Operators were quick to register their resent
ment at the suggestion. Recordings which con
tain a plug for an advertiser’s product are con
trary to the best interests of the automatic
phonograph music industry.
“NIX ON ADVERTISING RECORDS” wisely
says the phaneffrftph industry. A clear-cut state
ment on the subject, issued by the Automatic
Phonograph Manufacturers Association, appears
on page 19 of this issue.
GOLIATH PUTS OUT A FEELER
"IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH"
There is more good, common sense and business
acumen among members of our industry—than a
few in the industry, who should know better,
think there is. Or, is it that these “few” just
don’t give a damn? Well, we all know the story
of David versus Goliath. And history has a way
of repeating itself.
That’s the motto of the Coin Machine Oper
ators Association of Virginia. It’s a good one, for
these times and for all times. It is the spirit of
Americans, and the fellowship of mankind. It
means a body of people united by common inter
ests, who are striving together toward worthy
achievement.
