Bill Simmons

HOllYWOOD. - Bill Simmons had
dined well at Armstrong's Cafe on Wil·
shire Boulevard.
"Now," thought he,
"back to the offices of the Rudolph Wur-
litzer Co. to get something done." He
headed for his car and found-a snappy-
looking roadster folded neatly into the side
of his buggy!
He waited a bit and finally the owner
appeared-none other than the head man at
the Zeigler Insurance Agency. It so hap-
pened that Zeigler's car was pushed loose
from the curb by another driver who was
attempting to park, and breaking loose from
the curb it headed down hill and plowed
into Simmons' vehicle.
"Take it to the garage and have it fixed
up like new," Zeigler ordered. "I've never
had occasion to use Zeigler's property dam-
age clause before and this is as good a
time as any to begin. " So, as the head-
line said, Bill Simmons got a break.
Back in Fold
ST. lOUIS. (RC)-A man who can
hand out $200 without blinking an eye
must be a man of means. Anyhow, it cost
Frank Dolce that much to get back into the
good graces of his better half. It appears
that somehow Frank got a wrong argu-
ment started with his wife and she refused
to be soothed unti l the $200 reconciliatory
gift had become an established fact. In
order then to induce smooth sailing at home
Frank arranged for the delivery of the baby
-a Wurlitzer Baby Grand Piano. While
he is out the cash, he is back in the fold-
and that is something.

The last month ly meeting of the W.A.
M.A., held May 25, was given over prin-
cipall y to a discussion of the tax situation,
and members attending voiced their opin-
ions on the proper amount that should be
paid the tax commission. Instructions on
how to fill out the tax commission reports
were also given, as well as constructive ad-
vice by the legal counsel, which is headed
by Emmett lennihan.
All operators were warned to have the
new coin machine certificates, which are in
addition to the I icense certificates, and
which act as an identification source and a
means of quick check-up by authorities, past-
ed to each machine. There is no charge for
these stickers.
The W.A.M.A. called a special meeting
on June 3, at which time stickers, along
with instructions for use, were dispatched
to members.
Norman to Florida;
leaves Wurlitzer for Dixie Music
Co.: health give n as reason.
MIAMI.-Effective May 22, Bob Nor-
man, advertising manager of the Rudolph
Wurlitzer Co. of North Tonawanda, N. Y.,
severed his relations with the manufactur-
ing firm to affiliate with the D ixie Music
Co., here. A need for sunshine and out-
of-doors, because of the condition of his
health, were given as reasons for ending
his services with Wurlitzer.
"The 'lure of the Florida climate' has
got me, boys," Norman declared in a let-
ter of notification of his resignation, ad-
dressed to all W uri itzer district managers.
Though "straying from the fold, " he indi-
cated that he was sti ll enthusiastically a
W urlitzer man' at heart, prophesied a con-
tinuance of the "amazing sales record"
made by the firm.

ST. lOUIS . (RC) -louisiana, Mo., was

W. McCallister and family. McCallister
operates assorted coin machines in the l ou-
isiana territory and was on a shopping tour.
He wanted a \' found that they were temporarily out of
stock; in fact, there were 240 back orders
ready to move out as soon as they could
be delivered to the local jobber. The Mc-
Call ister home, incidentally, has the dis-
tinction of being rig ht across the street
from that of Governor lloyd C. Stark, and
of being the oldest house in the town of
louisiana.

IIfachines-if you're an operator, the chances are you're someu,hat mechanically in-
clined, and perhaps you' ll be interested in this "shot" of one of the powerful motor-
gellerators in Chicago's Rock-Ola Mfg. C01"p.'s power plant. One of seven wch
dynamos, the e1ztire group are capable of producing enough power to 'light a city of

Like Family Member
NASHVILLE. (RC) - "The old mare
died with a rag, etc.", may b e just a fa·
milia r chorus to some people but it is a
painful refrain to R. C. Patterson, operator
of music here. Besides his music interests,
Patterson operates several plantations near
Nashville. When Agnes, Pat's favorite
mare, died a few weeks ago it was like
losing a member of the family. While
there were no canonicals and fanfare to
herald the passing of Agnes, she was laid
away with tenderness and genuine regret.
