Hunter, pinochle player, successful music
operator, Mr. Edward HackDlann, 136 E.
Florence St., St. Louis, says: "I'm going to
town with Simplex-piling up the big-
gest profits I've ever known-lining up
the best locations I've ever had." .
It takes crowds to make big profits in automatic music. That's why oper-
ators acclaim the Wurlitzer-Simplex as the biggest money-maker in the
field. It delivers the kind of music that draws the crowds.
The sheer beauty, sensational lighting effects and life-like tone of the Wur-
litzer-Simplex make people anxious to see it work-hear it play. And when
it plays the crowd wants to hear it again and again. No wonder America's
most successful operators are enthusiastic over Wurlitzer-Simplex profits.
