“BALLY” AWARDED
SECOND STAR
A second star has been add
ed to the Army-Navy “ E” Flag
flying over the “ Bally” plant,
according to statement by Herb
J o n e s , vice-president a n d
works manager of Lion Manu
facturing Corporation.
“ The second star,” J o n e s
pointed out, “ like the original
flag and the first star, was
awarded officially to the Lion
Manufacturing Corp. Actually
this is the organization known
to the coin-machine industry as
Bally Manufacturing Company,
and the second star is further
proof of the vital contributions
of the coin-machine industry
to the assured victory of the
United Nations.”

INVENTOR WORKING ON
ELECTRICAL CIGARETTE
VENDING MACHINE
The postwar horizon for the
coin operated machine indus
try gets brighter right along.
Not the least of the possibilities
for the improved opportunities
in the postwar period are the
development of many vending
machines. Their perfection and
service to the public will give
a tremendous boost to our in
dustry.
An idea of the work being
done in the direction of new
machines, can be obtained from
correspondence r e c e i v e d by
Automatic Age. Following is
one significant letter:
“ Automatic Age : I am work
ing at a device for coin mach
ines which will have the advan
tage of being adjustable to any
denomination of coins. T h i s
new machine will for instance
sell a packet of cigarettes after
slotting a dime, nickel, and two
pennies. Without pulling any
lever the packet will be releas
ed automatically by electricity.
“ I invented this machine in
Europe and have applied for
patent in the States.
“ I would be thankful to you
for informing me if you know
of similar automatic coin ma
chines in America.
“ I know that the factories of
coin machiees are working at
present on war work. But time
will soon come to start with
peace work. A s I am not ac
quainted with names of these
firms, being only a short time
in the States, I would be inter
ested to do the necessary re
search work, etc. I would ap
proach this firm at a later date
as soon as I receive the rights
and protection of the patent
office in W ashington.”

We regret to announce that Ball Gum has become a War Casualty— not killed—
but "Missing in Action" for the duration.
Many of the Ball Gum Machine Operators have successfully switched to Marbles
and are reaping a harvest of big profits. You see, previously the players were more
interested in the prizes than the Ball Gum.
Now—with Marbles—the players not only receive the Marbles, but also have
a chance to win a Prize Marble.
We can supply you with Glass or Agate Marbles in assorted colors. They work
perfectly in Ball Gum Machines.
