Easy-Operating
Policy Announced
CHICAGO-Combining a policy of build-
ing counter games so as to make operating
easier with volume backed up by terrific
demand, The Daval Co. is now producing
Cub and Ace at the rate of one a minute,
or 480 games for each eight•hour working
day, according to report of Al S. Douglis,
president of the firm.
Declares Douglis: "The s peci ally• de-
signed and super·engineered construction
of Cub and Ace, American Eagle and
Marvel are entirely based on making operat-
ing easier for the coinman. That's why
when we built such tiny-sized units as Cub
and Ace we included our original Daval
automatic coin divider and two separate
cash boxes. Regardless of their small size,
the operator need not collect as often as
he did on former small counter games, for
his cash box is three times the size it used
to be and he need call only at regular
intervals and take out his coin, without
even stopping to count it, for he knows
that the location has already taken its
share from its own cash box.
"Even in the construction of the mechan-
ism we have made operating easier. No
nuts, no bolts, no screws - hold one simple
spring catch and the entire mechanism
slides right out into the operator's palm.
This eliminates waste of time. The oper·
ator also knows that because of the pre-
cision manufacturing methods for which
Daval is famous he will not encounter trou-
ble at any time.
"All these points, from the first blue-
prints, and the first designs, are checked
carefully so as to be built from an easier
operation standpoint to assure the oper-
ator the type of product he knows he needs
in these days of speedier servicing and
collecting. All this is equally true of Amer-
ican Eagle and Marvel.
"This principle has undo ubtedly been a
major factor in the heavy demand for our
equipment," Douglis declared. "And 11n-
other important factor is the fact that the
longer these games remain on location,
the more solidly en trenched they become
and the better the public likes to play
them."
The midget games won the approval of
the biggest distributors at the Show, and
that's a good sign for the operator, Douglis
indicated, since none of them can afford
to handle equipment which operators don't
take to.
Among the distributors that came to the
Daval booths to compliment the firm were:
Carl Trippe, Ideal Novelty Co., St. Louis;
Roy Torr, Phi ladelphia; Art Sauve and
Buddy Sauve of A. P . Sauve Co., Detroit;
Mac Churvis, Grand National Sales Co.,
Chicago; Al Stern, Roy Bazelon and Clay-
ton Nemerof of Monarch Coin Machine
