Douglis Praises
Daval's Zenith
Atte1ttic1t. WRITE

CHICAGO-According to A. S. Douglis,
president of the Daval Manufacturing
Company, "Zenith is the best game in a
decade. This new 5-ball novelty game,
now in quantity proquction at the Daval
factory; has even more appeal than Odd
Ball."
In elaboration on his description of Zen-
ith, Douglis states, "I don't think there is
a man in the industry who doesn't have
pleasant remembrances of the famous Odd
Ball game which set profit records that
haven' t been beaten yet. In Zenith we give
operators the feature that made Odd Ball
an all-time champion-the extra sixth ball
which the player must try to earn by shoot-
ing for a high score.
"However, in Zenith the player uses his
odd ball to pile up awards by endeavoring
to hit five bumpers which light up when
the odd ball is released. Every time one of
these bumpers is hit with the odd ball
more skill points, or free games, are added
to the player's winnings.
"Besides the chance to earn big awards
with the odd ball, the player may also win
high-score intermediate awards, with the
possibility of winning with both high scores
and the odd ball to urge him on."
Zenith is streamlined, and has plenty of
action, with enough suspense to make the
player want to play many times, Douglis
states. It is mechanically perfect and has
everything that the modern novelty game
needs.

Bose Leaves on
Trailer Tour
Association Suspends
Summer Meetings
PORTLAND, Ore.-Monte Bose, special
field representative for Bally Beverage Ven-
dor, left the last of August on a trailer-tour
of the western states. With a Beverage
Vendor in his trailer, Bose plans to demon-
strate the machine to operators throughout
the far west.
"A demonstration of this remarkable ma-
chine," Bose stated, "together with the fine
reports received from operators already in
the automatic thirst-quenching business,
never fails to arouse enthusiasm. No opera-
tor can watch the slick operation of the
Bally Beverage Vendor and see how quick-
ly and conveniently it serves cold carbon-
ated drinks without seeing the limitless op-
portunity for profits in the automatic bulk
beverage vending field. And when I open
the doors and display the incredibly simple
mechanism, the operator can see that the
machine is designed and built to make
operating easy. We've got the machine, the
American nublic insures the market, and
the cheerful red cabinet of the Vendor will
be looming up in hundreds of locations
throughout the west."
Bose will tour the states of Washington,
Idaho, Nevada, and, during the winter
months, Arizona and southern California.
Jack R. Moore, west coast distributor of
Bally Beverage Vendors, is sponsoring
Bose's trailer tour and is reported to have
already arranged volume shipments of ven-
♦
dors for operations developed by him.
ST. LOUIS (RC) -Discontinuance of
the regular monthly meetings of the Mis-
souri Amusement Machine Operators' As-
sociation was voted at the recent meeting
held at the Melbourne Hotel by all mem-
bers. Reasons given were the slack attend-
ance due to vacation absence of almost half
the membership, and hot weather inactiv-
ity. Regular meetings will probably begin
again in October, Louis Morris, president,
said. The final summer meeting showed
the association up to full strength from
every angle, David Monahan, secretary-
treasurer, said, with all dues paid in, and
the association fund well up to par.
A new city tax on all coin-operated mer-
chandise devices and amusement machines
went into effect July 1, giving local opera-
tors quite a scare upon its announcement.
The problem of paying an extra two dol-
lars on all novelty games and automatic
phonographs, two dollars on five-cent ven-
dors, and fifty cents a year on one-cent
merchandise vendors was decided amicably
by allowing all operators to trade in their
former licenses with the addition of one
dollar for the new permit-thus crediting
the six months the earlier 1939 licenses
had to run.
An unusually large bracket of speakers
was on hand for the final meeting. They
included Dewey Godfrey, legal counsellor
for the association; Abe Jeffers, Dick West-
brook, Carl Trippe, Al Miller, Lee Turner,
George Ogilvy, William Illig, Dan Lans-
baum, Mickey Selzer, George Lebrock, and
Joe Nusselbaum.
