Wolf Sales Company Moves to
New, Enlarged Quarters
By Dorothy Petsch
Wolf Sales Co. makes coin machine
history this month in San Francisco by
taking over the largest plant in this
section of the Bay area for its headquar-
ters. Grand opening was held the first
week in April and was attended by
jobbers and operators from all parts of
Northern California.
Particularly impressive is the two-
story brick building, located diagonally
opposite his old establishment. Situated
on the sunny side of the street, it has
been erected to take advantage of tha
light, and large windows flood the
showrooms and offices with sun through-
out the day. Only the shell of the pre-
vious structure remains for owner Wolf
Reiwitz has completely renovated the
interior. Floors were sanded, staine,d.
and polished. Walls were plastered ,md
tinted in a light tone. Interior woodworl:
which was added was also painte--i
white to give to the place an air of
spaciousness and cheerfulness.
The street floor is given over to dis-
play rooms and shops. Here are to be
seen the new cabinets which Wolf
Sales is placing on the market this
month and the new and used games
which he also has for sale. The ample
room makes it possible for operators to
carefully inspect their purchases. In th,;,
rear of the main floor are to be found
the shops which the mechanics claim
are the finest, the best-equipped of any
shops in San Francisco. Any kind of
machine in the vending line can be
cleaned, repaired, renovated in this
department, according to the men m
charge. The shipping room is also lo-
cated in this section of the main floor.
Here the machines are assembled and
crated for the export trade which iR an
important branch of the Wolf Sales Co.
The second floor front is given over to
138-148 W . Mt. Royal Ave.

offices and confe re nce rooms . He re Wolf
Reiwitz holds forth in s tate behind his
mahogany desk and here also will be
found the des ks of Stanley Harris and
Secretary Sylvia Hips hman. Harris has
full charge of the cabinet sales and will
s pend most of his time on the road. Con-
ference rooms will be reserved for meet-
ings of the sales force.
The rear of the second floor has b ee n
turne d into an a sse mbling plant for the
cabinets. Two men have been placed on
the s taff of Wolf Sales to handle th is
end of the business. According to W oil,
no expense has been s pared in produc-
ing his cabinet. The finest grains of
mahogany have gone to make the box
itself and the wood is polished down
before the box leaves the plant. Lec-
toli te gives the illumination on the
front and sides of the cabinet. So rap-
idly have orders been booked in ad-
vance for the box that just now has
production caught up with the demand.
The s tory of Wolf Sales Co. Inc.
sounds like a chapter from a Horatio
Alger book. Woll has been in the coin
machine business for thirty-five years
and knows every angle of it thoroughly.
He at one time operated in Colorado,
then in Seattle. Since coming to San
Francisco he first opened a small office
on Mis sion Street, then expanded to a
space in the Action Sales on Ninth
Street. From there he moved to Golden
Gate Avenue last April where his busi-
ness has s teadily increased until the
demand for larger quarters made itse:f
apparent. The COIN MACHINE RE-
VIEW joins his many friends in wishing
Woll Reiwitz hearty congratulations and
s ucce ss in his latest expansion.

THE HUB ENTERPRISES
43 South Liberty St.
Around Northern
Colifornio
By D. H. PETSCH
SAN FRANCISCO (RC)-Bally Bev-
e rage Vendors have arrived in San
Francisco and it is the opinion of Johnny
Ruggiero that they are going to live up
to the good old Bally name and mop
up the market. Bruce Scrievers of the
local office spent the las t two weeks in
Chicago studying the mechanics of the
machine and returns more enthusias tic
than ever over its possibilities. Accord-
ing to Ruggiero , from the broadsides
alone , advance orders have come in
from all parts of Northern California.
Jack R. Moore has held demonstrations
of the machine in all of his West Coast
Baltimore, Maryland
offices with amazing enthusiasm ex-
pressed by operators attending. What
appeals to them, says Ruggiero, is that
every cup is a perfect blend of coco-
cola, the same that one can buy in a
bottle.
Bally's Fifth Inning, the new baseball
game on the market, is due in San
Francisco any day now and Manager
Ruggiero predicts a sunny future for it.
Mr. and Mrs. Louis Caro are the
proud parents of a baby girl, Mary Lou,
born the latter part of March. Mrs. Caro
is secretary at the Jack R. Moore office,
now on leave-of-absence.
"Seeburg phonographs are going big
in Northern California," says Vance
Mape. All types of models are selling,
too. Vance is on the board of directors
