SEATTLE, WASH.-Star Billing! That
doesn't always require a theater! Some·
times it bappens on the door of a business
office! To be a star, you have to be fine
- enough to stand out from the crowd and
make good. That can be done in the busi-
ness world-in the coin machine field.
Sibyl Stark did it! She has proved she
is "tops." Five years ago a young woman
started working for Heberling Brothers.
For the last few years she has been in
charge of the operating div ision. Recently,
she purchased Heberling's jobbing division,
in the future to be run under her own
name, at the same add res .
Today she heads her own company and
has just been appointed exclusive dis-
tributor for Panoram in the State of Wash·
ington. She also represents Mill

LOS A GELES - To give millions of
Americans the thrill of shaking "Uncle's"
hand, Gene Towne, the film producer and
writer, ha turned coin machine designer!
"Uncle," of course, is the nice old man with
the long, white whiskers and red, white and
blue suit who also answers to the name of
·'Sa m."
The patriotic player inserts 1.00, 50
cents or a quarter. Uncle Sam shakes his
hand and dispenses Defense Savings Stamps
in amounts to equal his coin insertion.
America's favorite pastime is recognized
fully and the importance of the' coin ma-
chine industry really comes to the fore as
Towne, recommending that his Uncle Sam
be placed in chools, studios, factories, de·
clared his belief it would sell millions of
dollars worth of addi tional stamps.
Towne's idea was submitted, with draw-
ings, to Harold N. Graves, assistant to the
Secretary of the Treasury, who placed the
material with the Postoffice Department.
Since this department has been considering
vend ing machines, it is not unlikely that
Uncle Sam, erected along the design ere·
ated by Towne, may appear with defense

BOilies For Dollars
LONG BEACH, CALIF.-The night club
and the mill! Each commercially import-
ant! The age-old issue, cropping up
periodically to confront men in any amuse·
ment field, is facing the Progressive Busi-
ness Men's Associa tion of Long Beach and
area. They have a battle on their hands
as thousands of dollars float into other
co mmunities nightly, the result of permits
being revoked in several clubs featuring
dancing and serving liquor.
Back in 1913, Reno bousewives, refusing
to recognize that a city's commerce takes
many forms, carried a law requiring a 12
month's term of residence for divorce
seekers. As a result, Reno knew depre -
sion-store clerks jobless, hotels empty. It
took two years to repeal the law, restore
prosperity that depended upon divorce, an
industry as vital to Reno as factories are
to other cities.
So now Long Beach, a city where enter-
tainment is a great commercial feature, is
meeting a similar problem-of making it
clear that entertainment of any kind, mak-
ing or losing dollars makes or loses pros-
perity, brings or drives business away, aids
or hinders the new tax burden and in-
creased living costs.
In addition to serious matters, the Pro-
gre sive Business Men's Association spon-
sors other affairs. Assemblymen Fred N.
Howser and Lorne Middough and Chief of
Police Joe McClelland, will be guests at
a dinner dance and celebration, observ ing
the opening of the association's second
year, Tuesday, August 12th, at the Army
and Navy Club.
Association members met July 29th to
vote upon the issue of incorporation.
