Maior League Is Given
Exhaustive Location Test
LOS ANGELES-From the idea to
the finished product is a long, expen-
sive route. Ninety days ago MAJOR
LEAGUE was built. It looked "okay."
So much so that Fred McClellan,
president of the Pacific Amusement
Mfg. Co., was tempted to put it into
production but, remembering his ear-
ly operating problems and experi-
ences with untried products, he deter-
mined to make sure. Let the players
try it out. So the first MAJOR
LEAGUE went on.location. It got the
play, but it wasn't perfect. It had to
be changed. Simplify the mechanism
and make it perfect, were the instruc-
tions his factory engineers received.
Finally, a revamped, simplified MA-
JOR LEAGUE was achieved. Here's
your game, they said; when do we
start production? Pack it up, Mr.
McClellan ordered, and MAJOR
LEAGUE was shipped to Chicago.
Special engineers were called in. They
checked it over in every detail. Addi-
tional refinements were made. Then
MAJOR LEAGUE made another trip,
this time to another state where a
large laboratory put it through ex-
tensive tests. Then Mr. McClellan in-
structed his Los Angeles factory to
build up one hundred games and place
them on location. These games have
performed on location for sixty days.
MAJOR LE~GUE is a sensation. To-
day MAJOR LEAGUE is being de-
livered to operators. It is a finished
product-a tried and proven money
maker.
When you get your M A J 0 R
LEAGUE you will realize that here
is a game that was designed from an
operating viewpoint. A game that
Kennedy Pioneer
Stamping Firm
Fourteen years ago three men in
Minneapolis discussed the western
portion of the United States.
Its prospects as contrasted with
those of the Northwest were com-
pared-and the climate won out.
As a direct result of this discus-
sion J. L. Kennedy, a capitalist, and
his nephew, W. J. Kennedy, ar-
ranged to transport the Hayek
Name Plate -Co. from Minneapolis
to Los Angeles-and as majority
stockholders, to change its name.
Mr. Hayek accompanied the new
company as superintendent and two
years later purchased the interest
of Mr. J. L. Kennedy, thereby be-
coming half owner.
In addition to supplying products
to makers of Games, Kennedy sup-
plies radio dials and escutcheon
does great things with a mechanism
that is simple and perfect.

than 600 different labels for this
purpose.
