The
Mayor and Sheriff (club mem­
bers, by the way!) as well as
high-ranking state officials were
in hearty support of the coin­
machine plan.
It may be “counting their
coins before they’re collected”
but the club has already outlined
the first project to be financed
from the machines. In line
with their policy of aiding local
children who do not benefit from
other funds, the club is going to
buy projection-equipment and
set up a fund for movie-film
rental for the many boys and
girls who are patients at the
nearby Saint John’s Crippled
Children’s Hospital.

PLANTS BOOST SALES
San Diego, California is the
hub for considerable activity in
the war effort, with plants and
the large marine and navy base.
C. T. Presher, San Diego
music operator, says that this
expanded activity is a great
boost for coin machine business.

HIS NEWEST HIT
Bob Chester’s newest Victor
recording of the hit, “No Good”
is fast gaining recognition and
destined to be one of the big
numbers of 1942.
“No Good” as recorded by
Bob Chester is so good that
many predict it will hit the “big
time” quickly and stay put. Vic-
tor-Bluebird Record No. 11428,
it’s well worthy of any Music
Merchants’ attention, for “No
Good” looks to be a sure-fire
money maker.
HAPPEL, MILWAUKEE
DISTR., OPENS L. A.
BRANCH
Mr. and Mrs. William Happel,
Jr., of the Badger Novelty Com­
pany, Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
recently passed through Chicago
on their way to Los Angeles,
California, where Mr. Happel
will open a jobbing business on
Pico Boulevard. Happel will
have his branch offices located
quite a distance apart, but with
the fine service given by the air­
lines today, it is only an over­
night trip.
Business in the Milwaukee
office has been exceptionally
good, considering the time of
the season . . . January and Feb­
ruary usually being very quiet.

“This year it was exception­
al,” said Bill Happel, “in that
we were able to sell many
phonographs and a great deal
of remote equipment. The Tone-
O-Lier Speaker made by Rock-
Ola this year is a sensation.”
Happel will not represent the

the established distributor there.
