timekeepers to games.

Hit Parade games are now to come equip-
ped with Hammond electric clocks, accord-
ing to an announcement from D . Gottlieb
and Co.
The timepieces, chosen because they are
nationa ll y advertised and are known to be
accur ate, are to be bui lt into re-designed
I ight-up racks so that they form an integral
part of the design. This is bei ng done for
a trip le purpose, according to Dave Gott-
lieb, head of the firm.
First, it offers a service to the customer
in giving him the correct time. Second, it
mea ns that the location offers an extra serv-
ice to its patrons without increasing its
own cost, and by the same token it opens
up more locations. Finall y, it stimulates
play, since, in gett ing the attention of the
patron, who inevitably wants to know what
time it is, it is going to suggest a play
period, and the game goes into use to the
pleas ure of the patron and the ultimate in-
creased profit of both location and oper-
ator.
