UNCLE SAM” promotion to
your operation.
The Rock-Ola Manufacturing
Corporation in developing this
promotion for the interest of
our Government and all phono­
graph operators should be com­
plimented for their efforts which
work for the good of all con­
cerned. It has been freely an­
nounced that the plan can be
used on any make phonograph
with a quarter chute. This is
indeed fine spirit.
CHARM MUSIC CABINET
CONVERTS OLD IN TO
NEW
An established company of­
fers music operators a new
product aptly called “Charm
Music,” and merchandised un­
der the firm name of Charm
Music Cabinet Company. This
firm is the offspring of the sales
division of a company long
established in the manufactur­
ing of cabinets for the coin ma­
chine industry.
“Already a welcome trade
name to the ears of operators,
Charm Music will represent to
them the opportunity of convert­
ing antiquated music equipment
into glamorous, profit producing
instruments at economical cost,”
an official of the company
stated.
“The first unit of the Charm
Music Cabinet Company line to
be produced is a beautifully
created lite-up cabinet, of a size
t h a t will accommodate any
mechanism from an old phono­
graph. This cabinet incorpo­
rates such features as maximum
illumination, accoustically built
sound chamber, and imposing
height. It is finished in the
ultra- modern manner, and spe­
cially styled to fit in with the
surroundings of the most elite
location.”
Offices and display room of
the Charm Music Cabinet are
located at 155 North Clark St.,
Chicago, being across the street
from the Hotel Sherman, a con­
venience to out-of-town visitors.
IT ’S THE "SIZZLE"
T H A T SELLS!
“Just what the doctor ordered
for fast profits,” reports Auto­
matic Games, Chicago, in an­
nouncing four special “nude
art” films in third dimension for
the popular “View-A-Scope.”
“In addition, several hundred
new 2x2 slides for “Peek Show”
have been received, starring the
world’s most beautiful girls,
glamour shots of famous maga­
zine cover m odels, stocking
models, beautiful B roadw ay
dancers, and famous show and
strip tease artists. They are
masterpieces of lighting, com­
positive technique, and breath­
taking new ideas in photogra­
phy that mean real and quick
profits.”

To comply with the many re­
quests for a five cent machine,
Automatic Games announces
that “Peek Show” can now be
supplied in five cent play to show
ten pictures for one coin, and
also offers immediate delivery
on the one cent model.
Arcades and operators in
need of display pictures— 8 mm.
or 16 mm. movies in black and
white or Kodachrome, are urged
to contact Automatic Games,
who have a new line by the na­
tion’s leading theatrical pho­
tographers.
think I was taking much of a
chance with this boy. He’s got
one quality which is absolutely ’
essential in a salesman.”
“That quality is what?”
“He’s a good expecter.”
“Say it over again in English.”
“Why, it’s as simple as ABC.
He expects success, not failure.
In everything he does he expects
success. So far as I can tell he
hasn’t a negative thought in his
head. When he was just green
with us, he’d come to me with a
suggestion— and I could tell by
his manner that he didn’t expect
me to turn him down. He radi­
ated positiveness.”
“I see now.”
“He must do the same thing
with his prospects,” said the
business man. “When he talks
to them, believe me there’s no
doubt in his mind about their
placing an order. He knows
they will before he calls. He has
the expectation of success. Such
a man cannot fail.”

We were talking, the head of
a large Western firm and I,
about a youngster in whom he
had confidence. Three months
before, after a short apprentice­
ship inside, he had put this lad
out on a sales job. Records had
fallen. Even the older men had
to admit the boy had the mak­
ings of a great salesman.
“You must be a good picker
of men,” I remarked. “What
rating system do you have? How
do you isolate the instinct to sell,
and tell when a man has it?”
“I ’m a poor picker of men,”
he told me. “I ’ve been wrong
oftener than right, but I didn’t

As Much Business As
You'd Like To Have
If you’re not doing all the business
you can handle, there’s something
wrong with your sales promotion—
and it’s our job to help you find
out what it is and help you correct
whatever is wrong.
We’re sales promotion and adver­
tising counsellors, with many years
of experience to back up our judg­
ment; and we’d like to talk to you
about your sales problems.
You can write us at any time, lay
the facts before us, ask our advice,

bill for service.
That’s not the way we do business.
If, after investigating your prob­
lem, we decide there’s a place
where we can fit into your picture,
we submit our recommendations
and quote a fee.
But any preliminary investigation
you want made is at our expense,
without obligation to you.
Won’t you write us your problem?

BOMB TOKYO" CAMPAIGN
Roy Small, conciliator for
the United Music Operators
of Michigan, is sponsoring a
“Bomb Tokyo” campaign, in
conjunction with the Detroit
Times, a Hearst newspaper.
Song writers Amherst Turner
and Jim Siracuse have written
the tunes “Bomb Tokyo” and
“Miss America,” and the initial
order of records has been deliv­
ered by the Scranton Record
Company. The copyrights are
handled by Mr. Small.
The United Music Operators
of Michigan, on Saturday after­
noon, February 21, held a pre­
view of the recording “Bomb
Tokyo” in Convention Hall, with
food, drinks/entertainment, and
personal appearance of the
artists.
Immediately fo llo w in g the
preview , 5000 records and
placards were distributed to the
operators, who put them in the
No. 1 position on all automatic
phonographs in Detroit.
The vocals for both tunes
were handled by Paul Davis,
who recently returned from the
RAF Ball in Bermuda, and the
McColl Twins, formerly of New
York, all of which were directed
by orchestra leader Frank Sid­
ney. The entire production was
carried by the United Sound
Systems, Detroit, recording lab­
oratory and technical work was
done by co-author, Jim Siracuse.
This “Bomb Tokyo” campaign
follows the previous success of
“Any Bonds Today?”, in which
Mr. Small’s excellent work was
called to the attention of the Sec­
retary of the Treasury, Mr.
Henry Morgenthau, Jr. Mr.
Small was asked to come to
Washington for the purpose of
organizing a national campaign.
The excellent results of that
campaign are still being publi­
cized.
