• At a meeting of operators represent­
ing practically every part of the coun­
try, held during the recent Coin Ma­
chine Manufacturers Convention, a
strong sentiment was expressed for the
formation of a national operators’ as­
sociation.
Many problems confronting opera­
tors are of national importance, and,
therefore, require unified national ac­
tion. To bring such an organization
into being, the body there assembled
elected Fred A. Mann as temporary
liaison secretary. Mr. Mann’s duties
are to communicate with all state and
local operator organizations through­
out the United States sounding senti­
ment for a national convention, to be
held at some future date, to determine
the advisability of creating a national
operators’ organization. He is also to
encourage the perfection of state or­
ganizations, and unification of many
local organizations which seem to serve
the same purpose. Furthermore, he is
to create new organizations in states
where operators are not organized.
This is quite a task, and it requires
the cooperation of every wide-awake
operator in the country. All independ­
ent, local and state organizations and
operators in localities where no organi­
zations exist, are requested to get in
touch with Mr. Mann, at 4633 Drexel
Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois.
Safes Stop Hijacking
Since the introduction of steel safes
hijacking of machines has been re­
duced to an unprofitable business. The
cabinets discourage this practice and
has resulted in the wide use of the
equipment.
When first used the cabinets were
primarily a protective feature, but op­
erators now recognize their decorative

Kicko Is New Idea
in Action
• The Keystone Engineering Com­
pany, newcomers in the manufacture
of coin operated machines, are intro­
ducing to the trade the “ Kicko Aristo­
crat.”
Displayed for the first time at the
Chicago show, it caused much favor­
able comment and interest among the
operators. One of the most original
departures in the amusement devices
exhibited, and an alternate as a game
of skill to interchange with present
games on location. Sales contracts are
now being made with recognized job­
bers to handle the distribution in their
territories.
The “Kicko Aristocrat” is based on
the principle of steel balls rebounding
on a hardened steel anvil which is piv­
oted so that the player can use skill
in scoring. Each pocket represents a
different type of shot and several in­
teresting novelty shots are introduced.
The skilled player can control the
playing balls in height and direction
to surprising accuracy and a combi­
nation of pockets can be used in com­
petitive play for premium awards as
well as a high daily or weekly score.
A three-way coin divider with a
visible weekly high score compartment
is optional on every machine. This
coin box has separately locked com­
partments.
The entire playing surface is inside
of a glass bowl, and all playing parts
are chromium over brass or steel, off­
set by a black metal cowl on mahog­
any base which makes a startling con­
trast and strong attentive value.
The game was originated and devel­
oped by P. J. McCollough, an engi­
neer long associated with experimental
steel testing equipment, and before go­
ing into production was placed on sev­
eral locations to work out any bugs
and develop changes to help the mer­
chandising of the play. H. R. Faulk­
ner, for many years in the auto acces­
sory and petroleum field, is in charge
of the sales.
