the .. EASTEST!"
EW YORK-Great Challenges of His-
tory! Douglas challenged Lincoln to a
series of debates . . . the future president
was victor! Joe Louis challenged Camera
. . . now look who is champion of the world!
The tyrant Ming chall enged Flash Gordon
... the winner? What, don't you read the
funny papers?
But it took Meyer Parkoff of Modern
Vending Co. to change the routine of chal-
lengers losing! At the Coin Machine Con-
ven tion last January, Meyer up and chal -
lenged Sam Kresberg, Eastern Di trict
Manager of the 1. P. Seeburg Corpora tion.
Quoth Meyer: "My Modern Vending Co.
will wind up by July 1, 1941 with the
largest sales volum e it has ever had in the
history of coin machine busines .. , sell-
ing your products!"
Somehow a Chevrolet Sedan got in th ere
as a lead in g character in thi s sales drama.
By July 1 it was being presented Parkoff
by Kresberg because Modern out-distanced
a ll sales records for Seeburg phonographs
and accessories during a sIx months' period.
Co in machine history was made.
Does am mind? Well, he's in on a new
chall enge deal for the remainder of 1941.
Rumors are that an airplane may hold the
same place of importance the Chevrolet
held six months ago. Sam wins either way
you figure it but Meyer doesn't mind, he
doesn't have time ... too busy selling! •

Gutshall Praises
Modern Music
LOS ANGELES-"I don't know what is
needed to make music a good number, but
whatever it is, a lot of composers must
have it these days," says Jack Gutshall of
Esquire Music Co. "I've never seen busi-
ness boom th e way it has with Packard
PLA-MOR these last few weeks. Everyone
seems to have a favorite number th ey want
to play over and over again!"
Jack says the listenin g is equally divided
between bar, booth and wall boxes and con-
sole speakers. "Packard has had some
mighty prosperous and happy days," he
declares, "but PLA-MOR has never done
just that quite so often as it is doing it
now! And it isn't only the youngsters who
drop th eir nickels in th e music boxes-it's
surprising how many, many older folks are
responsible for PLA-MOR's tremendo us
success_ What's more, Esquire Music Co_
isn't go in g to be caught napping-we're
ready at all times to take care of the busi-
ness that success means."

Sage Twice Record Breaker
HOUSTON, Texas - The sales record in
Southern and Southwest Territory for See-
burg salesmen and the previous record for
proud fathers were both recently broken by
A. A. Sage, Seeburg salesman of Houston
Electro Rail office_
Three cash prizes were awarded, one ev-
ery ten days, for closed business in the See-
burg contest - and Sage won all three of
them!
And, when he became the father of a son,
Charles Arthur, weight 10112 pounds, July
19, he was 'way out in front of all other
proud fathers visiting the same hospital! •
