is proving the profits of his business with
a new Buick-fourth to be bought by the
coin machine trade in the month . . . Ed
Hackman, Hackman-Hertel, is spending a
bit of time, despite doubled route duties,
in duck hunting ... Andy McCall, McCall
Novelty Co., is announcing a name for his
new baby daughter-Andrea . . . Howard
Kortz, formerly owner of Modern Phono-
graph Co., bought it back again and is
operating with his old zest.
One of the distributing luminaries of
the field, Ideal Novelty Co., will shortly
move, according to announcement of Presi-
dent Carl Trippe. The Ideal business will
go to 2832 Locust Street, in midtown, if
present
leasing
arrangements
follow
through. This will give Ideal an opportunity
to display the huge amount of merchandise
on hand, and to get away from the cramped
conditions prevailing for more than six
years. The new building has an upstairs
display room, twice as much first-floor
space, and room for separate service and
repair departments.
The Missouri Amusement Machine As-
sociation held a November meeting in the
Statler Hotel in mid-month, to discuss im-
portant legislation which inevitably pops
up year by year in the pinball field. Princi-
pal speaker on the program was M. Murray
of the Missouri tax committee, who ex-
plained that a new interpretation of a
sales tax law passed October 1 now means
a closer contact with the operators of
every type of machine. Formerly, the sales
tax on pin tables, vendors, target games,
phonographs and other units was never
passed along to the route operator. Under
the new ruling, the operator must pay a
sales tax on every machine bought for his
route unless it bears a resale code number
-which cannot be affixed unless the ma-
chine is for sale. Thus, operators who have
escaped this extra tax for years, can now
find an extra $2 or more sales tax on each
machine. The extra tax revenue will help
greatly to smooth out the rough spots in
transactions between jobber and operator,
it was explained.
Outstanding pleasant point of the meet-
ing was news that the Missouri Amusement
men will lease a private car on the C & S
railroad to the Chicago Show in January,
for all members and operators contiguously
supporting the Show contingent. Carl

CHICAGO-"We pride ourselves in once
again having given the industry an out-
standing hit in Paradise," declared Dave
Gottlieb, president of D. Gottlieb & Co.,
in announcing his company's new amuse-
ment table.
Backboard of the game is reported to
portray the firm's new Plumage-Glo effect
which depicts the proudest of all birds,
the peacock, in fullest elegance and
splendor, with a light-play "beyond descrip-
tion" on the plumes. The playboard, too, is
said to be vividly-colored, with brilliant
catalin bumpers presenting an attractive
irridescence.
Game has eight ways to win, and eight
new scoring rollovers are included in the
new features.
Among the leading distributing organi-
zations reporting boundless enthusiasm for
the game was that of B. D. Lazar of Pitts-
burgh and Philadelphia, where both Lazar
himself and Monte Spiegel, manager of
the Philadelphia office, asserted that "You
can best judge a game by its collections,
and that's where Paradise actually proves
how good it is. Our customers are calling
for more and more."
C. C. Hutchinson, leading test operator
of Waukegan, Ill., expressed identical
views, declaring, "I predict Paradise will
be even greater than Gold Star. My col-
♦
lections substantiate my predictions."
