By HARRY BORTNICK
In accordance with its efforts to main-
tain friendly relations with all business
organizations this Association plans to
place an ad in the program book of the
Philadelphia Retail Liquor Dealers'
Ass'n. The souvenir book will be issued
at their annual banquet. In addition a
special table will be reserved for phono-
graph operators who will attend the
banquet to be held at the Penn A. C .
The recently formed Del - Mar - Va
Phonograph Operators Association has
proposed that a retroactive agreement,
similar to the one already existing be-
tween Eastern Pa. & N. J. Ass'n., and the
Automatic Music Ass'n. of New Jersey,
be enacted between the local organiza-
tion and their group. This agreement
will protect members of both groups
from having their locations infringed by
members of the other organization and
will make operators associate members
of the group which they are not ac-
tively affiliated with. This proposal was
·taken into consideration by executives
and will be voted upon at the next meet-
ing of each organization. It is hoped
that the agreement will receive a favor-
able vote from the membership.
Cooperation will be extended to op-
erators of all types of equipment in
combating the recently proposed Dela-
ware State tax bill. An effort will be
made to entirely eliminate this obnoxi-
ous bill or to have the tax rate reduced
from the proposed tax of $15 per year,
per machine. In addition to efforts of
the local group the Del-Mar-Va group
will also aid in protecting operators
from this excessive tax.
A number of local operators, who
under the retroactive agreements are
members of the New Jersey Phonograph
Ass'n., attended a meeting of that group
in Trenton on Tuesday, February 21, at
the Stacey-Trent Hotel. In order to be-
come better acquainted with the mem-
bership of the New Jersey group and to
discuss mutual problems the following
members of the local association visited
New Jersey: Joe Mellwig, trading as the
Cameo Amusement Co.; Dick Brown and
A. Carter of A. M. I. Distributing Co.;
Charles Juniewicz, Atlantic City; L.
Friedenberg, Joy Music Co., Atlantic
City; Francis Smith, Surf Music Co., At-
lantic City; Meyer Budnick, Up-To-Date
Amusement Co.; Irv. Newman, Modern
Music Co., and Frank Hammond, busi-
nes manager of the local organization.
The chief point of discussion at the
New Jersey meeting was the disclosure
that various small communities have
proposed licenses for phonographs. This
local taxing, which is existant mainly in
New Jersey, is being closely watched
and combated immediately by a com-
mittee of the New Jersey Phonograph
Operators Ass'n., working with the dis-
trict manager and counsel. The local
association also extends full cooperation
whenever possible.
A showing of the new line of Mills
Phonographs will be held at the Penn
A. C . under the sponsorship of the Key-
stone Novelty Co. Local operators are
expected to attend in large numbers
and will be greeted by several factory
representatives.
Newest subscribier is Thomas 0. Lin-
gle, Mifflinburg, to whom we extend
congratulations.

bulk vendor operators was missed last
month when our came ra was at home
and we ran into a four-man conference
in front of a leading Kansas City bank.
The participants were Ivan Nelson, Kan-
sas City, Kansa s; John Corse, Welling-
ton , Mo.; A. E. Sandhaus and Meyer
Sandhaus, Colonial Sales Company,
Kansas City, Mo. All a re operators of
bulk vendors and the shop talk zipped.
Expansion was the keynote of the words
passed with quite a few nice things to
be said for Sandhaus' Sel-Mor vendors.
Growing pains have not seemed to
slow down United Amuse ment Com-
pany's ever increasing operations. The
building's new addition has just been
com pleted adding 1800 square feet of
space on two levels .
You 'll never get indigestion from
swallowing your pride occasionally.
