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 M-arbles
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.

Distributors of Memphis, Ten

the letter to Mr. M. G. Ham

Needless to say the diagram is
