of the new music association and is
taking his duties very seriously.
The Mape Co. recently placed s ome
Seeburgs in a deal and dumb social
center. It seems that when the music is
turned on very loudly, the deal and
dumb people get the vibrations and are
able to dance.
The carload of portable radios which
were blocking traffic on Golden Gate
Avenue this week belonged to Anne
Mandel, who has fallen prey to the old
coin machine custom of storing the stock
on the sidewalk inasmuch as it has to
be delivered to customers so soon any-
how. Anne ·says that the se radios are
especially good now, for people are
anxious to win them for their cabins
or to take them on picnics. The repre-
sentative of one of the large sales board
companies tes tified that they are par-
ticularly good for dancing in the moon-
light, although heretofore no one has
suspected that he was addicted to such
practices. Anne adds that she can't
say enough good things about her new
Gardner boards. She says that they
have more eye-appeal and play-appeal
than any other board she carries, and
she has sold more of them in March than
ever before.
Contact in daily carload lots would
be the answer to Heine Grusenmeyer's
prayer. Everyone wants them , he says,
and he has a waiting list that extends
out the front door. He can't explain it
except that the operators like them and
the operators like them because they
get plenty of play from the public.
Heine recently played host to his sis-
ter who visited him for the first time in
many years. Heine and Lou W olcher de-
cided to show her the town in their own
inimitable way. Result is that on her re-
turn to Riverside s he writes that her
eyes are still seeing things. Visiting
firemen please note.
Another $40,000 consignment of al-
monds was purchased this week by
Einar Wilslev of Viking Specialty. This
makes the second order of like propor-
tions which Einar has purchased with-
in the last month.
Wilslev adds that his Northwestern '39
machine is going very well this month.
Operators like it because it's fool-proof
with slug ejectors. Also new in the Wil-
slev plant are the candy-coated cashews
and the toy jellybeans. The latter, are
going particularly well for they have
"Beautiful new headquarters . . . a beau-
tiful new cabinet . .. nothing can stop us,"
says Wolf Reiwitz, head of Wolf Sales Co.,
to Stanley Harris, in charge of cabinet sales.
dandy eye-appeal in the vending ma-
chines, he says.
After sixteen years as an operator, A.
Berman has come to San Francisco to
enter the jobbing business. Although he
feels that it is difficult to make predic-
tions after only two days, he states that
"ii the devil doesn't overtake us , we'll
make out. " "We" includes his attrac-
tive wife, who acts as his secretary and
bookkeeper. Berman has operated in
every part of the United States and is
well informed on all types of vending
machines. He will, however, specialize
on slots and table games.
Hermie Cohen, of Hamilton Mfg. Com-
pany, was a visitor in San Francisco
the fi,st part of April. He took in the
Fair and checked in with his pals along
the Row.
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Schmidt, of Fond du
Lac, Wisconsin, were the guests this
month of Charlie Fey. The Schmidts
spent three weeks here visiting the Fair
and- taking moving pictures of various
points of interest including the Fey
plant. Mr. Schmidt is owner of the Wis-
consin Novelty Co.
On the eleventh week of steady re-
ordering, the Golden Gate Novelty be-
lieves it has something in Chicago
Coin's Majors. According to Owner Al
Armes, no machine in recent months
has proven so successful from an operat-
ing as well as a jobbing standpoint.
Ed Heinle calls it a humdinger and
says that's only putting it mildly. Both
are awaiting anxiously the arrival of
the new Chicago Coin machine. Blue
Streak is still top machine for Leo Ger-
ckens in the digger line.

the Golden Gate Novelty, became a
