THE FAMOUS
Mr. Farny R. Wurlitzer, president
of the Wurlitzer Company, opened
the business session with a welcom-
ing address which' foretold many of
the things the company is doing and
has in mind for further concentration
of Simplex phonograph business with
the operators.
Homer E. Capehart, general sales
manager, made full use of the time,
presenting to his organization the
merchandising policies of the com-
pany in the distribution of the Sim-
pLex phonograph. The many things
the company is doing to give phono-
graph operators the most outstand-
ing instrument for their needs were
pointed out and thoroughly covered
during the remaining business ses-
sions.
In commenting on the policy of
confining the sale of the Wurlitzer
Simplex to phonograph operators Mr.
Capehart said:
"We believe in the phonograph op-
erators of America. They are the
logical ones to handle coin controlled
music equipment. Operating is their
one and 'only business and they know
their business.
"Music is in universal demand. It
has always produced good profits in
the coin operated field. It is funda-
mentally right that the coin machine
operator should handle the distribu-
tion of music vendors.
Photo shows salesmen cutting the Wurlitzer "profit melon" brought to

Angeles representative; F. M. Madsen, San Francisco; and R. Q. Kramer
of Denver did not attend the convention and Mr. Capehart, salesmanager of
the firm, 18 now in the West visiting each of them.
PORTLAND.-The SYM Novelty

McClellan. Mr. McClellan has gone

C. McClellan and take over the posi-
tion of sales manager with the Paci-
fic Mfg. Co. there.

magnet of them
all. Line up with
the Wurlitzer-Sim-

it-making year."
a
ERE'S music-vendor that will sat-
isfy any location - an automatic phono-
graph with plenty of class for any type
of customer.
The WurIitzer-Simplex is as strong on
appearance as it is on performance. The
handsome cabinet of beautifully matched
walnut veneers commands attention and
fits into any interior. It's .easily handled
- yet amply large to be impressive-
48%" high, 30%" wide, and 203,4" d.eep.
Its tone can't be matched for beauty and
realism - and its mechanical simplicity
and efficiency are unrivalled, r,e ducing
service calls to the minimum.
And - don't forget the Multi-Selector-
the exclusive Wurlitzer-Simplex feature
which enables patrons to select from one
to ten recordings at a time and repeat
them if desir.ed - buying a full hour's
entertainment at once.
Operators all over the country are doing
record-breaking business with the Sim-
plex - piling up bigger profits - lining
up more ·paying locations. If you want a
year-round proposition that's proving it-
self the biggest money-maker in the field
today - you want the Simplex Story.
Don't delay-every day you wait costs
you mO:ley. Write, wire or phone us to-
day for full details of the Wurlitzer-Sim-
plex Proposition .
The W u r 1 it z e r-
Simplex is mechan-
ically simple and
highly efficient. Un
reproducing sys-
tem is the result of
much careful ex-
periment . and the
tone of the instru-
ment is truly un-
canny in its real-
ism and fidelity to
instrument and to
voice. Each record
is in a se parate
container which re-
moves all possibil-
ity of patrons be-
ing dis a p pointed
by warped or brok-
en records.
