One should not reduce the allow­
ance for the repair and maintenance
reserve because the first 20,000 miles’
experience does not result in as great
an actual repair and maintenance out­
lay as estimated. The requirements
for repair and maintenance will prob­
ably increase somewhat for every ad­
ditional 10,000 miles in the life of the
vehicle. It is better to have too high
a reserve estimate than one that
proves too low.
If you can’t enjoy a sunset, you’re

• Did you ever notice how USUAL
the unusually successful operator
really is?
He’s usually a successful operator
because he has been in the business
long enough to have found out a few
things for himself.
He’s a man who first learned that
“honesty was the best policy,” when
he started doing business with the
Hindoos of the Industry—they did
him plenty.
He works slowly—the young fel­
lows that jump into a location, flop
down a machine and then speed on—
say he’s old—losing his punch.
He’s a man that the youngsters in
the business could pattern after be­
cause he’s speedy enough to know the
safety and profit in slowing down—
in taking time enough.
He’s the man that places a ma­
chine to stay—because he takes the
time to sell the location on the merits
of his machine and the special fea­
tures of his service and himself.
He’s the man that spends his
money foolishly (to hear the young
operators in the business tell it) be­
cause he buys only the best machines.
He’s the man that’s “ foolish like a
fox.” He pays the extra price for the
EXTRA QUALITY machine because
he knows that fifteen or twenty dol­
lars added to the first cost, saves him
money and makes him money.
He’s the man that knows that it is
better to spend the extra money for
quality than to spend it looking for
locations cheap inferior equipment
caused him to lose.
He’s the man that knows that all
the sweetness of low price can never
repay him the expense, worry and dis­
satisfaction, out-of-order calls create
for him.
In short, he’s just an ordinary man
that has learned by experience that
coin machines are like anything else
in this world,—if we want quality, we
have to pay a little more—and that
the little more paid at the time of
purchase multiplies tremendously in
increased earnings and increased pres­
tige.
He’s the man that has found out
through experience that “ all that glit­
ters is not gold” and that there never
was a coin machine made but that
some one else could make badly and
sell cheaper, and about which the
stigma of dissatisfaction remained
long after the fatal sweetness of low
price had been forgotten.
Yes, Sir, I’ve noticed that the usual
successful operator is an ordinary
type of fellow that outside of know­
ing his business thoroughly, is un~
usually usual.
The size of a Man can be measured
by the size of the Thing that makes
him Mad.

Fall Business Starts O ff Well
Jim Buckley, sales manager of the
Bally Manufacturing Company, an­
nounces th^t due to increased produc­
tion facilities Bally is now in a posi­
tion to make prompt shipments on
“ Rambler” and “ Ticker,” the two
new Bally counter games. “We were
snowed under for a while,” Jim de­
clared, “ and, to tell the truth, some­
what taken by surprise. Considering
that this is the tag-end of summer,
we hardly expected the flow of busi­
ness that poured in on us. Appar­
ently, however, operators recognize
these two machines as ideally suited
to start off the fall season with and
are buying now in anticipation of ris­
ing prices.”

Rambler uses the 3-ball idea that
made Skipper popular. Fruit reel
symbols are also used on the playing
field, which is a tricky pin game. Steel
pins, coil-spring baffles, one-way
gates, and an unusual arrangement of
scoring pockets are depended on to
speed up the action and stimulate a
desire to develop skill by practice.
Ticker is an entirely new type of
pin game designed to promote the
greatest possible s u s p e n s e . The
chances of winning or losing are ab­
solutely uncertain until the last ball
has been played. The last ball may
wreck an otherwise perfect score or
turn a hopeless game into a winner.
The out-hole is actually a fascinating
skill-hole, for which the player often
deliberately shoots.
Both Rambler and Ticker are
equipped with Bally’s new coin slot
by which the last coin played is kept
in sight. Both machines are also
equipped with a new tumbler-type
tilting device which is said to be un­
usually sensitive.
A stadium of 40,000 people watch­
ing 18 men at play presents a won­
derful picture of the way our race
takes its exercise.
