So, in acknowledging the overwhelming support
that jobbers and operators are giving our new game, we
wish, at this time, to give credit to every individual or
concern who is cooperating with us, and we know of no
better way to express our appreciation than thru your
columns.
It is time that operators and jobbers be com e
acquainted with the unseen factors of this business. It
is not enough that the originator of a game gets credit
for his work. There is a limit to one man's ability, and
it is only by cooperation and the combination of ideas
and resources that successful money-making games like
MAJOR LEAGUE are put over.
.
We wish, at this time, to express our appreciation to
the concerns whose names appear at the left, and
whose products and ideas went into the production of
MAJOR LEAGUE. For, after all, operators and job-
bers do not support a manufacturer for themselves
alone. Their products must be successful. We believe
that MAJOR LEAGUE will be a very successful game,
and will hold the public's eye, paying big dividends to
jobbers and operators.
We also, at this time, want to convey our sincere
thanks to you personally, as your publication has played,
and is playing, no small part in our success.
Very sincerely yours,
PACIFIC AMUSEMENT DIST. CO., I NC.
H. McClellan, Manager

LOS ANGELES. - "People who
have heretofore evidenced little or no
interest in marble games have be-
come eager enthusiasts of MAJOR
LEAGUE," says Fred C. McClellan,
President of Pacific Amusement Mfg.
Company.
"Everyone wants to play the game
that 'Chuck' Klein, the National
League leading slugger, officially en-
dorsed. The exciting and unusual
action of the 'marbles actually run-
ning the bases keeps them gasping.
Never before has there been a game
as marvelous as MAJOR LEAGUE.
"The thrill of playing the game it-
self is so great that skill awards are
considered by many players as sec-
ondary. Locations that have been
noted as poor locations for other
types of games prove sensations with
MAJOR LEAGUE.
"As one of our jobbers wired us,
'MAJOR LEAGUE is creating a new
era of prosperity for operators.'
"MAJOR LEAGUE will be good
now and all the time because while it
is a real baseball game it is, in addi-
tion two games in one. Two mechan- .
ically perfect, location t ested, proven
money makers.
"It is hard to believe the tremen-
dous earning power of MAJOR
LEAGUE. Our Coast operators who
were fortunate enough to get early
deliveries can tell you that anything
I might say about MAJOR LEAGUE
is mild compared to the actual results
achieved on location."

Fat Lady (to salesgirl): " I would
like to see a suit of underwear to fit
me."
Salesgirl : "My Gawd, so would 1."
