(FT)
SHUT-EYE (FT)
With this disc Ayres rightly deserves a place
in the operator's "Amen Corner." Tunes meas-
ure up to the best.

HOME (FT)
BLUE BLAZES (FT)
Hot stuff personified. Swing arrangements
and "Groove Gold" for ops . Recommended.
PRAIRIE RAMBLERS (HB) 4672
I WONDER IF YOU FEEL THE WAY I DO
SOMEBODY'S SMILE
Old time singing positive to register with
the mob . Done in the "lament" style so deli- •
nitely married to hillbilly music. Good for a
s teady run.

(Waltz)
Jan Garber on Vocalion is a buy. This
duo from "Stars In Your Eyes" shows loads
of promises. Second pair represent another
transfer from the Brunswick label. Old stand-
ard tunes that should be in every operator's
library. Timely too with St. Patrick's Day just
ahead.

Sweet and immensely exciting. The use of
the Hawaiian Steel Guitar accentuates the
value of these tunes. Use this one .

by us without impairing the tone
of the record, or hurting it in any
way! Follow the leaders! Send
12 used needles with one dollar
and save your money too!

Rock-Ola Clicks
with Northern Cal. Ops
SAN FRANCISCO (RC)-A big splash
in the local coin machine pool was
made this month when Clarence Mc-
Clelland opened his RG>ck-Ola head-
quarters on Golden Gate Ave. and de-
clared his intention of showing the city
what his machines will do. It proved to
be no idle threat, for in the two weeks
that McClelland has been plying his
trade he has sold every carload ship-
ment that he has been able to lay his
hands on, and goes about muttering in
his beard that he can't get more . Up to
the first of the year McClelland was dis-
trict manager for Rock-Ola with the
seven Western states as his territory.
For five years he held this job until
Rock-Ola decided San Francisco and
points north needed a red-blooded he-
man to fight its battles. McClelland,
well known in these parts, has found a
ready reception for his machines.
Miss Helen Kessler who has acted as
McClelland's private secretary for the
past three years is serving in -that ca-
pacity. The newly decorated offices are
in three tones of blue wall board and
set off to good advantage the brightly
colored Rock-Olas on display around
the room. McClelland's territory will in-
include California, north of Fresno Ore-
gon, and Washington.

Decco Corporation
moves to new quarters
in bay area
SAN FRANCISCO-The Decca Distri-
buting Corporation announced the op-
ening of a new location for their local
branch early this month. The new build-
ing, located at Third and Market Streets,
offers many conveniences for customers
of the company.
In a separate building, the new loca-
tion provides a ground floor entrance,
sufficient show room and storage space,
and far more convenience for custom-
ers . It has nearly three stories with a
full basement and a large mezzanine
around the entire building.
L. C . Gilman, Pacific Coast Manager,
feels that the new quarters will provide
far better facilities for taking care of
Decca customers. Four new booths are
available for the demonstration of mer-
chandise.
The new location is accessible for all
operators in the Bay area, Gilman
states. It is about halfway between the
two exits to the Bay Brid ge and only
hali a block off Third Street, and is only
four and one-half blocks from the center
of town. Being on a sid e street, ample
parking facilities are available at all
times.

.J. C. Dorser Posses
FRESNO-J. C. Dorser, pioneer music
,o perator of the Pacific Coast, died early
this month. Head of the Dorser Music
Company in Fresno for many years,
Dorser was well known to operators in
this area. The funeral was held in Fres-
no Saturday, March 5.

Frank Swartz, of the D. & S. Novelty
Company, Rockford, Illinois, is vacation-
ing in Long Beach and spending some
time at the jobbing establishments. On
Friday of last week, in company with
Joe Richarme, Swartz was a luncheon
guest of J. Frank Meyer, president of
Exhibit Supply Company, in Los An-
geles.
Twenty thousand gross of new charms
arrived in Long Beach the past m onth
and were promptly sold to operators by
the M. Brodie Company. New shipments,
representing the finest American-made
jewelry items for novelty vending, are
arriving daily.
Seems strange when an operator
hauls a machine 30 miles for a repair
job but that's exactly what C. Ca sey,
Los Angeles, did the other da y when he
brought a machine to the Long Beach
Coin to have their crack mechanics w ork
on it.
Phonograph operators in Long Beach
have all joined the new Operators Or-
g a nization for Southern California. Al-
ready enrolled are Keeney Seebring,
La wrence Barnes, C . C. Griggs, Frank
Bellman and the Service C oin Machine
Company.
W. M. Runcie , San Joaquin valley
operator, was in Long Beach last week
buying new e q uipment from Joe Rich-
arme.

pany, announces that he has taken out
