VER since the announcement of our new plant in Chicago, there has
been much speculation in the industry as to our plans for the future.
To our doors have' come, daily, bright young men and conservative old
ones, all in search of the same information-the same exciting fact:
WHAT ABOUT THE FUTURE?
And of one and all these interested people, we asked that they wait and
watch.
It must be clear, however, to anyone acquainted with the progress of this
organization that the acquisition of the new plant comes as a logical, a
natural, and a necessary step. Moreover, it comes at a most opportune time.
The next 90 days will foreshadow a new era in coin machine history. An era
replete with many new revolutionary things.
And you may be sure the new Rock-Ola Plant will play its part in presenting
you with some of the finest products ever conceived by the human mind.
Not only is there the ARMY-NAVY game with its new "gold top" playing
field. Not only is there the rich little HOLD and DRAW machine. But
there is also the great new MULTI-SELECTOR phonograph, the fascinating
GOLD RUSH pay-out game, and the daring new FLASH machine. And,
crowding these new games for first honors will come magnificent light-up
games. And brilliant pin games. And all will possess immense earning-power.
Announcements of these new products will 'be released any hour now-
some, in fact, are already on the way to you. Watch for them. They bring
good news.

It comes just in the nick of time. Just when you need a peppy, punchy,
low-priced counter machine . One that can stand up and give a good account of itself.
And that's exactly what you have in SHIP AHOY- Rock-Ola 's smart, new counter machine .
*
From an operating angle, SHIP AHOY is everything you have ever imagined . It fits
, the bill to a T. It is so new, so different, so startling, that it will make you stand up and
cheer.
*
The idea? Well , the idea in SHIP AHOY is to balallce the boat. Glassed in
the upright cabinet, before your very eyes, is a ship at sea in distress . By inserting a coin-
anything from a penny to a silver dollar, you can balance the ship back to safety providing
you are skillful enough . The appeal fascinates you almost to the point of hypnotism . You
drop 1 coin, 2 coins, 3 coins ... and you keep on dropping every spare coin in your pocket
without let-up. You just can 't resist the urge of this challenging little machine . You feel
forced to balance the boat.
*
It is safe to predict that SHIP AHOY will set a new style
- that it will prove to be one of the fastest money-makers and smoothest-workers ever
