O. K. Completes
New Game
SAN FRANCISCO-AI Armos and
G. Gomelof the O. K. Novelty Com-
pany have completed their pin game
and it shOws every indication here in
San Francisco of being a "sure-fire"
game. The 1irst machine was tried
out on location and it caused a riot-
ous sensation. This machine is
known as the "Home Run" and
neither time nor money have been
spared in making it mechanically per-
fect. The "Home Run" has a variety
of novel features that hold the inter-
est of the player indefinitely. The
bOys feel sure that their game will
have a long run Ii.Dd go over in a big
way.

the Advance Automatic Sales Com-
pany, owned and operated by Lou
Wolcher, veteran coast coin machine
jobber, has been opened at 8222

LOS ANGELES-C. A. Blake, di-
rector of sales for the west coast
branch of Stewart & McGuire, has
just returned to this city from a cir-
cle tour of the northern half of the
state and reports business as being
first rate in the northern cities.
Since the local branch was opened
a month ago Blake states that count-
less numbers of operators who have
more or less been denied the oppor-
tunity to buy cigarette machines in
the past have placed substantial or-
ders with him for StGwart & McGuire
machines.

C. McClellan, president of the firm,
has been on the west coast for the

ordinary ball game. It is a game
that will challenge the coin machine
field for better construction and
quality make-up. From end to end it
bespeaks expert craftsmanship in
construction. The balls actually run
from base to base. Balls are pro-
pelled up the playing field. down the
playing field and around all bases
when the home-run pocket is made.
The machine is being made only
in the junior model at present and
construction of the games will start
