NEW YORK - The United States
learns its songs from records, not from
sheet music, according to the editors of
TIME in their issue for February 26th.
In "Letters" a subscriber commented
on the correct words of "Life Is Just a
Bowl of Cherries" and TIME's editors
replied that the version given might be
correct but Rudy Vallee recorded it a
different way and that is tb e accepted
version today.

ST. LOUIS.-Carl Trippe, of Ideal Nov·
elty Company, is saying it with Jiffy coun·
tel' lJ;ames for those ops that want an extra
machine on their location which will bring
bilJ;, steady, additional profits.
According to Carl, "There is no other
machine on the market like Daval's Jiffy
for earning extra profits for operators who
are covering a large number of spots and
can take another few moments time to
service another machine.
"One of the larger operators here has
placed a large number of Jiffy machines
and advises us that it takes but a few
momen ts to service these machin es.
"Because of his success and the success
of other ops all over the country we are
urging those men that want to earn real
income from their locations to also place
Jiffy co unter games on each one of their
spots."

MI NEAPOLIS. - Following ational
Wurlitzer Days and the introduction of the
1940 Wurlitzer Models, Mike Hammer·
gren, Wurlitzer Sales Manager, and Bill
Mos barger, Wurlitzer Distr.ict Manager,
paid a flying call on Ted Bush of the Acme
Novelty Company, Wurlitzer Distributors
of Minneapolis. Purpose of their visit was
twofold: To say "Hello" to Ted-to ask,
" How goes it?" in Minneapolis.
Both greetings brought forth en thusiastic
answers from Ted: "Things are go ing great
guns for Wurlitzer in Minneapolis,'" he
stated, "the introduction of the 1940 Mod.
els was the signal for plenty of activity
for us."
According to Ted Bush, Wurlitzer Music
Merchants in Minneapolis were unanimous
in hailing "Wurlitzer's the Winner" and
backed up their assertions with orders.
"Naturally we expected improvements over
the years," he states, "b ut we weren' t look·
ing for such an array as greeted us on the
1940 Wurlitzers. When you improve the
appearance, tone, coin eq uipment and servo
ice set-up in one year-well, what Music
Merchant could help but be enthused over
the 1940 Wurlitzers?
"Believe me they are and from what I
understand Minneapolis is no exception. It
looks like a nother Wurlitzer year from

coast to coast."
