Established 1872
W. W. Wilcox Mfg. Co.
ST. LOUIS (RC)-An unusually enter-
prising business in connection with Topeka,
Kansas' parking meter system was uncov•
ered recently, when police questioned a
young boy who spent all day walking the
length of Topeka's main street, ostensibly
stopping at every parking meter to make a
notation in a notebook. Stopped and asked
why he made such regular trips up . and
down the avenue, the boy answered readily
enough, and amused the city management
heartily. It seemed that, being unem-
ployed, the boy saw a fertile field for profits
in watching the meter flags on every stop
on the curb. When he saw one about to
drop, signifying overlong parking, he
dropped in a nickel of his own, then
awaited the guilty car's owner. When the
latter approached, the boy informed him
what he had done (probably saving him a
ticket) and received his nickel back, usual-

boy estimated his profits at $1.90 for the
"day's work. Police released him, puzzled

CHICAGO -Things are humming at
Monarch Coin Machine Company and every
day scenes truly depict the fact that the
well-known "corner" has been passed.
Al Stern, who recently joined Roy Baz-
elton, reports that Monarch is enjoying a
tremendous export business and that the
firm is now moving more equipment than
at any time in its history.
Bazelton returned from a short vacation
on the West Coast in September to find a
stack of orders piling up. Fair prices,
honest handling and a square deal for every
customer has materially advanced Monarch
as one of the outstanding jobbing and dis-
tributing organizations in the Middle West.
In addition to new and used machines
sales, the firm also maintains a crack repair
department for rebuilding and repairing
games, phonographs and counter machines.

He dropped around at a girl's house,
and as he ran up the steps he was con-
fronted by her little brother.
"Hi, Billy."
"Hi," said the brat.
"Is your sister expecting me?"
"'Yeah."
"How do you know? "
"She's gone out."
