FRED MILLS — 1894-1944
After an illness of more than
one year, death came to Fred
L. Mills on July 5, 1944. He
was president of Mills Indus
tries, Inc., Chicago, a post he
held with great credit since
1929 following the death of
his father, the late Herbert S.
Mills. Fred Mills’ achievements
are firmly imbedded in the big
organization which he directed
with the assistance of his three
brothers, Ralph, Herbert and
Hayden, officers of the comp
any, and a group of executives
well known in the industrial
world.
Fred Mills saw the develop

famous Mills Novelty Company
from one factory building to
several gigantic plants, all lo
cated in Chicago’s Northwest

ed to Mills Industries, Inc., sev
eral years ago, to more ade
quately reflect the expansion of
the firm’s diversified l i s t of
products. Since the early days

Bally Elects Herb Jones
a Vice President
For a number of years, Herb
Jones has been connected with
the “ Bally” plant of the Lion
Manufacturing Company, Chi
cago, and his recent election to
a vice presidency of the organi
zation is a well earned recogni
tion of his work. Herb Jones is
a t i r e l e s s worker and gets
things d o n e quietly and effi
ciently, w i t h o u t bombast or
fanfare. Yet his achievements
in publicity and promotion are
a matter of record.
Herb Jones was assistant to
the late George Moloney, and
the two played a conspicuous
part in the early conversion of
the “ Bally” plant to complete
w a r production. The Army-
Navy E. Flag and W hite Star,
which flies on the mast of this
modern plant, attests to the ac
complishment.
W hen the job of producing
equipment for Uncle Sam is
done, and “ Bally” again turns
its modern and enlarged plant
to production of amusement
machines, venders and allied
items, the coin machine trade
will be eager to “ Bank on Bal
ly.”
Our congratulations to Herb
Jones, with the best wishes for
continued success, and to the
entire “ Bally” official family
and associates.
