Buckley Music
Entertains Draftees
CHICAGO-Many of the military camps
in the Southeast section of the country
have brought new men and new business
to the Buckley Music System, according to
Les Purington, Southeastern District Sales
Manager, who recently visited Chicago. In
separate interviews, Purington and F. H.
Parsons, vice-president of Buckley, both
reported the same facts: "Business is going
at top speed," Parsons' statement coming
after a tour of the Southwest.
Purington declared, "I find that I am like
the other district men in that the distribu-
tors in my territory are putting the systems
into locations just as soon as shipments
come in to their shops. Operators up and
down the Atlantic Coast States now have
many Buckley Illuminated Music Systems
working for them."
Buckley's vice-president, Parsons, who
toured the Southwest for the purpose of
paying friend ly visits to distributors an~
offering suggestions to facilita te the han-
dling of business with the fac tory, stated,
"As far as I can see, business condi tions in
our line of music machi nes are the same in
every town, are on the increase and, by the
close of th is year, we ought to have one of
the best years we have had in some
time."

Location Thrilled With
First Seeburg Bar Box
POMONA, CaliL-The first installa tion
of the new Seeburg 5-10-25c Bar-O-Matic
Bar Box was made here recently at the
Deer Lodge Cafe on Highway 99 by Oper-
ator Eddie Andary.
Mr. and Mrs. Harris, owners of the
Deer Lodge, strictly adhere to a policy of
serving their patrons wi th only the best
of everything. Their thoughts run the same
way in music, and they were thrilled be-
yond words when Andary installed the new
Bar-O-Matic in connection with the See-
burg phonograph in their establishment.
Harris sta ted: "We are certainly pleased
with the new Bar Boxes and our patrons
consider them a defi nite convenience. Our
gross revenue on the music installa ti on
has increased con iderably since the new

boxes were installed by Andary."

The Leader because it is the Selective Remote Control designed with the
public in mind. It's the Unit that provides "Dual Action" in a booth, a cus-
tomer convenience never before achieved in a booth box. It's the Unit that
has "Triple Action" on a bar, eliminating straining, shoving and squinting.
The player in front of the box and the one sitting on each side can play
with minimum exertion.
Hundreds of thousands of nickels clicking away in thousands of PLA-MOR
Units from Coast-to-Coast attest to the fact that here most ce rtainly is THE
LEADER in Selective Remote Controls.
We'll be glad to give you full particulars!

Parr Pays Tribute
To Coin Music
SAN FRANCISCO-The important part
that a music machine plays in everyday
life, just by being there when you want
it, is one of those things you don't realize
until an emergency takes it away, accord-
ing to Bud Parr of General Music Co.
"I've watched the boys on leave from
Army camps around coin-operated phono-
graphs," he states, "and they really seem
tune-hungry-as though they were trying to
make up for all the listening they'd been
missing!"
Bud claims "Buckley Music Systems are
really going strong. If I heard the success
story in just a few places, I might think
it was the old law of averages going to
work. But wherever any of us from General
Music Co. go, we hear the same, good
news about Buckley's great populari ty. It
seems that the Buckley Wall Box Music
Systems just gather momentum as they go
along! And that means Good Business in
ca pi tal letters!"

Phono-Tel Makes
Public Interested
LOS ANGELES - Californians enjoy
looking at as well as listening to mu IC
machines, according to Bob Stark of Phono-
Tel Co., Inc. Bob is amused by the number
of inquiries that have been tossed by
Phono-Tel listeners across the counters of
their favorite restaurants concerning the
appealing blonde on the front of the Deluxe
Tower Cabinet.
"Is she a professional model?" "A Los
Angeles girl?" "In the movies?" are just a
few of the "wonderings." But, says Stark,
as far as the public is concerned she'll
have to just be the Phono-Tel Girl.
There is no question at all about the
enthusiastic reception of Deluxe Tower
Cabinet, Deluxe Bar Box and the famous
penny music box of Phono-Tel, according
to Stark. "I guess the public is just music
mad," he says.

SA FRANCISCO- Announcement was
made by Willi am Corcoran, Pacific Coast
Sales Distri c t Mana ger for Buckley Music
System, In c., that W. "Bill" Paradise, of
th e Crest Novelty Co., 43-45 W. Trent Ave_,
Spo ka ne, W ash., has been appointed di s-
t ributor fo r Eastern Washington.
Bill P ara di se, well known among oper-
a tors throughout th e Spokane area, has
se rved as a distributor for other products
durin g th e past five years in that r egion.
Accor ding to Corcoran, Paradise first be·
ca me fa miliar with the merit of the Buck-
ley Music Systems after installing the sys-
tem in two locations through the Portland
d istributor, Aubrey V. Stemler. Collections
showed an immediate upturn and Paradise
th en applied to Corco ran for the distribu-
tors hi p franchise in Eastern Washington .
An ellicient and well- equipped servi ce de-
pattment is maintained a t hi s hea dquarters
in Spo kane, and becau e of this fact, to-
geth er with his wid e acquaintance with
opera tors throughout the Spokane area, it
is p red icted th a t P aradise will do a bang-
u p job in kee pin g operators Buckley con·
sc ious.
Co mmentin g on general Buckl ey b usi-
ness, Corco ran stated: " Every mon th
shows a substanti al increase in the busi-
ness of our di stributors in the five W estern
Sta tes, Californi a, Washin gton, Oregon,
Nevada a nd Arizona. W e a re particularly
proud of th e fact th a t wh enever we make
a tes t installation for an operator, it in-
variabl y res ults in a numb er of additional
ins tall a ti ons in his other locations_ It is
appa rent after talkin g with cores of oper-
ators throughout the West and those con-
tacted by me during my recent trip East,
that th e stron gest group of Buckley boost-
ers is co mposed of those who have had
exper ience with other counter and wall box
install a ti ons. This is a high tribute to the
engin eerin g staff of P a t Buckley, whi ch
has been successful in designin g a wall
box th at is virtuall y trouble-free."
Co rcora n stated th at all distributors now
have a mple stocks of the 1941 wall boxes
a nd th e line of Buckley accessories.
