asm with which Wurlitzer Remote Control

Merchants from coast' to coast, is typified
by the pleased expressions on the faces of
Joe Eisen and Dave Margolin of the Penn
Coin-O-Matic Company of P hiladelphia and
Baltimore, Wurli tzer Distrib utors.
Wurlitzer Bar Boxes are the only boxes
designed especially for th e bar-can be
elamped to any bar or counter in a j iffy
without mutilating the wood. Th ey are built
flat and low, consequen tly are never in the

every phonograph location that has a bar
or coun ter.
