said portion thereof is normally located above the
abutment to be deoressed by the coin which is
located in said supplemental coin-chute. the weight
of said coin being adapted to move the latch to

Ex-Ray toj )'ecord according to Al S. Douglis. Al re-
ports, "We've been getting a lot of .tele-
f!;rams of late ordering more and more of
our new coun ter games. But, of all the
telegrams that we have been receiving we
take our hats off to Mac Mohr of Los An-
f!;eles, California, who has wired us as many
as ten time per day for shipments_
"Mac is actually burning up the wires
to get more of our Heads or Tails, Jiffy
and Ex-Ray token payout counter games.
He has instructed us to keep shipping every
day. Yet, every day more wires come in
increasing his order. We don't know the
maf!;ic that Mac's using, but there is - no
doubt of the magic power that our new
counter games have over players for they
are getting more profits than any other
counter games we have ever had.
"This," Al says, " is the kind of wire
that convinces any manufacturer that he
has the best possible moneymaker that the
operators could buy. Mac Mohr is cer-
tainly a champion telegram man and also
a champion alesman."
