KEEN EY ON COAST
BURBANK LICENSES DUE
• Jack Keeney pays !lyinq visit to
west coast distributors.
• Only IO-ball qames and vendinq
machines will be licensed,
LOS ANGELES.-He came by plane, this
popular and well known figure in the coin
machine world, Jack Keeney.
Keeney brought along some mighty good
news on the new Keeney line for operators
and jobbers to dwell and act upon. Note-
worthy among other high points on the
new Keeney line is the fact that their pay-
out tables come equipped with ticket vend-
ing mechanisms if desired.
Word has been passed along that free
game equipped machines are becoming more
and more popular with operators. In an
interview with the editor of THE REVIEW
Keeney said: "If more operators knew the
excellent reports we are getting on 'free-
games' equip'ped machines, it would tax our
production facilities to the utmost to meet
the demand." In addition, Keeney advised
that Rainbow 1 shot table, Grand Slam 1
and 2 shot table and Booster 5 ball payout
and ticket models are being shipped into
territories throughout the entire country in
considerable quantities, and that his line of
new machines today is in greater demand
than for many months previous.
Having completed a tour that took him
to Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los An-
geles, Salt Lake City, and intermediate
points, Keeney is now back in Chicago.
BURBANK, Calif.-City licenses on pin
games and vending machines wi ll be due
July· 1st, Operator A. W. Thorn informed
THE REVIEW. Thorn also reported a state-
ment issued by License Inspector D . Ritten-
house to the effect that licenses will be
granted only for lO-ball skill games and for
vending equipment which has no amusement
feature.
In a letter to all operators of coin ma-
chines licensed by the City of Burbank, Rit-
_tenhouse pointed out the harmony which
prevails between city officials and operators
and asked their co-operation in maintaining
this favorable situation.
Specifically, licenses will be iss ued for 10-
ball games which test the skill of the player
and which do not payout tokens, and vend-
ing machines vending or delivering mer-
chandise for the coin inserted, which have
no amusement feature. All other machines
will be picked up after July 1st, Ritten-
house announced.

LOS ANGELES.-Several years of legal
preparation culminated June 5th for Arthur
Mohr, member of the staff of Automatic
Vendors, Inc., when he was admitted to the
California Bar. Art received hundreds of
messages of congratulation for passing with
high honors the state board examination
which admits him to the practice of law in
California.
A travelling salesman spent the night at
a farmer 's house. At breakfast he showed
up with a shiner.
Farmer : "Where did you get that black
eye ?"
Travelling Salesman: "I fell in the guest
chamber."
Farmer: "You didn't break it, did you?"

Little Jane named her cross-eyed teddy
