"Here's what's making bars more popular than
ever", says Jean ( Buckley Music System)
Marfin, "and doubles profits, too. You can
now relax and enjoy your favorite musical
selections without having to leave the bar.
George Rossebo

Was formerly with Nordyke & Marmon
Motor Car Company in the Aviation Divi-
sion, supervising tools. Then spent 17 years
with Holcomb- & Hoke, Indiana where he
was factory manager. This concern built
the old Holcomb & Hoke Electramuse
Phonograph, among other products. Then
he was in charge of production at Thomas
& Skinner Steel Products, Indianapolis,
where they made magnets and various other

Wurlitzer District Manager Bill Bye watches General Salesmanager "Mike" Hammergren stage
his own demonstration of fhe firm's Colonial Model 780 phonograph. Hammergren declares
that sales of this new style instrument are "way ahead of expectations, no doubt because the
780, specially designed to harmonize with the furnishings of the finest hotels, clubs, restaurants
and cocktail lounges , is itself a step ahead in phonograph design."
