Announcement

The shows are over. The industry
looks to the future and new equipment
that will stimulate the operating busi-
ness. Reports brought back from the
shows by west coast men are particu-
larly encouraging and with 1938 shelved
in our memories we look forward to
1939 with renewed interest.
Many new merchand,ise vendors, and
coin-operated equipment of various
other types, will be released in the im-
mediate future. New machines that will
open new fields for operators will soon
be ready and every indication points to
a successful and prosperous 1939 for
operators.
With greater responsibilities than
ever before placed on the REVIEW, we
have made greater plans to serve the
industry during 1939. We have called
upon the very best writers available in
the industry. We have added to our stall
men who know the business from every
angle, men who have devoted a grecit
deal of their time to the coin machine
business, men who are capable of deal-
ing with the most vital timely subjects.
Among those writing in forthcoming
issues will be William Nathanson, one
of the outstanding personalities on the
west coast and certainly not a new-
comer to REVIEW readers. Beginning
with this issue Mr. Nathanson will con-
tribute an article monthly dealing with
vital questions pertaining to our busi-
ness. Other writers, equally as well
known and respected in the industry,
will be announced from issue to issue.e

SAN FRANCISCO (RC)-With $21,-
200,000 being spent for amusement in
San Francisco in 1939, as estimated by
Californians, Inc., business this month
has shown a marked improvement. At a
period when the coin machine game is
usually at its low tide, this sharp upturn
in affairs has given rise to individual
and collective rejoicing along The Row.

practically split the town wide open
with their success. On the market only
a few weeks, they have sold better than
any other machine in their field for
years.
