Daval Opens

CHICAGO -Al S. Douglis and Dave
Helfenb ein of Daval, outstanding manufac-
turers of counter games, announced the
opening of their Pacific Coast branch Aug-
ust 1st. These offices will be in charge of
Mac Mohr at 2916 West Pico Blvd., Los
Angeles, Calif.
According to Al Douglis, "Mac Mohr is
one of the best known and best liked of the
Pacific Coast coinmen. He has always
found our counter games to be the greates t
mon eymakers he has ever handl ed. This
time Mac has asked us to open a branch
office in Los Angeles and we complied, be-
cause we feel that the way our Marvel and
American Eagle are now getting started on

office where stock can be carried on hand
for everyone of th e Coast coi nm en.
"Furtherm,;>re, Mac is tremendously en-
thused over location reports that he has re-
ceived from operators regarding Marvel
and especially American Eagle. Mac wrote
us recently, 'There never has been a coun-
ter game in the history of the coinbiz on
the Pacific Coast that is earning as much
profit as is American Eagle. Not only is
this game putting the ops back on their feet
again, but, it is meeting with the co mplete
approval of the players who tell loca tion
owners th at this is what they have always
wanted. American Eagle is daily being com-
plimented by players, location owners,
operators, jobbers, and distributors here as
not only the greatest mon ey making co unter

beautiful and the finest ever constructed.
These complimen ts are not hooey. They are
the absolute truth and we are willing to
prove them to any skeptical opera tors who
doubt us with a 14 day free tri'al guaran tee
- th e like of which has never been offered
to this industry- plus a guarantee of 50
percent of the purchase price back in 90
days. Everyone of the distribs here are
more than happy to take trade-ins of any
other games towards the purchase of Amer-
ican Eagle. They want th e ops to get these
machines on location for they know that
this will put th em all back on their fee t
again.'"
Mac Mohr invites all Pacific Coast coi n-
men to visit with him or just phone or wire

him for compl ete details.
