Spanish galleon with all chromium sails set,
in case you're not in the know, and it's got
a five-tube radio to boot. Operators are
getting good results with it on their sales
boards, Anne states.
The E. T. Mape Company received two
shipments of Seeburgs during the past
week and they could use two more easily.
Nothing has made such a hit in the past
season as the marbl-glo finish which graces
each of the new Seeburg cabinets. Ed
Mape and Mrs. Felice Church are carrying
on the business while Vance and his wife
frolic in Alaska.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Nemer visited San
Francisco this month to take in the Fair
and call on their friends among the jobbers.
Nemer is an operator in Portland, Ore.
Mary Reuben, secretary for Irving Feitler
of the Gardner Company in Chicago, spent
her vacation in San Francisco where she
took in the Fair and some of the night
spots. She made such a hi t that local job-
bers have added her name to their lists of
Lonesome Club Pen Pals.
Jack Keeney's daughter and her brand
new husband (whose name has slipped our
memory) came to town to celebrate a de-
layed honeymoon. One of the eligible job-
bers wished she had visited the Coast be-
fore and not after she was swept into mat-
rimony.
Paul and Mrs. Munkdale, local opera-
tors, write that they are having one big
time for themselves in Denmark where they
are spending some time with friends and
relatives.
E. H. Beck, Oakland operator, purchased
one hundred fifty Tom Thumbs this week
and plans to use almonds in them. Beck
has recently added two new routes to his
• own in Alameda County.
Harry Davis, who has been operating a
route in San ta Rosa, has sold out and will
move to Denver some time this month. He
plans to organize a new route there.
If you have ever doubted your Snacks
machine here's one to encourage you. In a
little town of two hundred population near
Colusa there is a pool hall where an opera-
tor has placed a Snacks. "He services it
once a month," says the owner of the hall,
"and then never takes out less than twelve
dollars. Wish I owned it myself," he
concluded.
Mrs. Vernon Meeker visited San Fran-
cisco this month and purchased supplies
for her husband's candy and nut route in
Santa Rosa.
Skee Ball is doing a whale of a business
on the Santa Cruz boardwalk this season.
People wait in line to get a chance to play.
All new equipment was installed this season
and the owner has doubled his money al-
ready.
Swanson's Playland has opened again in
Santa Cruz and will run during the summer
months next to Harry Hines' Santa Cruz
Bowl. It's a Penny Arcade with Bingo
tables. Incidentally, Harry is still piling
'em in at his Bowl. People now have taken
to signing up during the day to be sure of a
chance to play in the evening. Harry says
there's never a time day or night when
there aren't people wai ting for their num-
ber to be called to play. His new Bowl at
Monterey will be ready shortly and will be
as thoroughly equipped as the present one
in Santa Cruz.
Gordon Mills has been operating two
coin operated movie machines at San
Francisco's new Aquatic Park with great
success. Put there primarily on trial, they
have more than lived up to Mills' expec-
ta tions.
