Robbins Announces
new counter game.
BROOKLYN, N. Y.-Used successfully
on test locations in New York City for
the past two months, leqally operated
anywhere because it vends a ball of
gum for every penny, and now in full
production so that immediate deliverie s
can be made, Criss Cross, D. Robbins
& Co.'s new low-priced gum vending
counter game will have its first official
showing to operators at the forthcoming
Show at the Sherman Hotel, according
to Dave Robbins, president of the firm .
Originated by Irving Mitchell of the
Robbins staff, inventor of a number of
money-making games, Criss Cross Ball
Vendor is said to have an appeal simi-
lar to that of the now famous Robbins
Bingo counter skill game. Idea of play
is to place three rubber balls in line .
Last coin is always visible, and it is
reported that the machine may also be
used for nickel play.
Simultaneously with this announce-
ment, Robbins issued a word urging
operators to give more consideration to
penny equipment which ''. Jacks the
quick depreciation, high cost and huge
effort" of the five-cent machines. Recall-
ing his own experiences as an opera-
tor, Robbins claims to have made
"plenty of money" from penny equip-
ment, backs up his assertion with re-
ports from operators of Bingo earnings
of $2 to $5 a week or more. "Even if you
are making money with your nickel
equipment," he declares, "it will pay
you to operate some penny games. You
will discover that 'fast pennies' are bet-
ter than 'slow nickels,' and you will
learn the meaning of 'long-life' money-
makers. "
CHICAGO.-According to announce-
ment of George Jenkins, Bally Mfg. Co.'s
salesmanager, Goddard Novelty Co. of
London, England, has arranged for
large s hipments of Bally products to the
English market. Among the machines
iricluded in the initial volume shipment
to Goddard headquarters were Para-
mount, spinning ball novelty game;
Dixie, 7-coin console; and Thistledown.

dicate tha t every effort will be made to
present this a ffair as the "most out-
standing success in the automatic ciga-

pected that attendance this year will
surpass that of last yea r's event.

der the title of the WOR Saxophone

problem answered.
NEW YORK CITY.-In the November-
December issue of "The Rowe-Gram,"
under the title "When Necessary-Am-
p utate]" Jack Kelner, midwest represen-
tative for Rowe Mfg. Co., Inc., records
some interesting thoughts on the buy-
ing of new or additional equipment.
States Kelner:
Dr. Blodgett, one of the great special-
ists in the fiel d of amputating surgery,
has m a de the astounding statement that
in no case ha s a person ever wanted
an amputation . Those who need it, in
every instan ce, say they would rather
die, but of course, the doctor operates
where he feels that life ca n be saved .
The mangled bodies that are broug ht to
him a re crushed in spirit as well a s
b one, a nd life without limb seems to
hold a future w orse tha n death.
Durin g a visit which I mad e to his
home in Detroit, some y ears a g o, he
said to me, "This must b e true in y our
business as well. Undoub tedly you call
on men who are crushed in spirits from
business reverses. Men who see n o
future in their fie ld of end eavor, and
who, therefore, buy no new equipment,
but are content to poke al ong in a rut
in a morose condition . These are the
men you should operate on. Remove
abscesses of d iscoura gement; cut out
their ma lignant sores of lethargy."
"But," I said to Dr. Blodgett, "to sell a
man when he doesn't want to buy
means high pressure and I don't believe
in high pressure selling."
To which he replied : "This wouldn't
be high pressure. The only time selling
something to somebody is wrong, is
when that me rchandise will do the
b uyer n o good, or when he can't pay
for it. As long as a buyer can benefit by
what you have to sell, and can pay for
it, you are doing him an injustice n ot
to sell him-not to amputate his dis-
couragement and make him buy. There-
fore in every instance I say use high
pressure if necessary-even knock him
d own and drag him out if the occasion
demands - but make him buy more
equipment if you, the specialist, feel
sure that the operation will save his
future ."
