Frank Pfister, operators of University City,
Mo., who received final notices in Febru-
ary. Both will go to Camp Robinson,
Arkansas, and are wondering whether the
government would be interested in allowing
them to set up a pinball route among the
camps around Little Rock.
Visitors around coin machine distribut-
ing houses in February included some of
the foremost manufacturing figures of the
industry. Seen at several firms were George
Moloney and George Jenkins of Bally Mfg.
Co.; I. F. Webb, Rock-Ola vice-president in
charge of phonograph sales; John Chrest,
Exhibit Mfg. Co.; and Emery J. Riszak,
Detroit distributor for International Muto-
scope Reel Corp. Sol Silverstein of Chi-
cago Coin Machine; and Sol Gottlieb of
D. Gottlieb Co. were visitors to Olive Nov-
elty Company.
Harry Hoppe and Harold Baker, Baker
Novelty Company, were in St. Louis this
month to watch progress of Baker's
Pacers on its introduction to St. Louis.
"St. Louis is actually the hub of the coin
machine industry," Hoppe told this re-
porter, "because it has been the experience
of ourselves and other manufacturers that
whatever machine shows good acceptance
here will go anywhere else in the nation." ♦
their returns and gave us much valuable
advice on the subject.
WE HOPE THAT NO OLD MEMBERS
WHO FAIL TO COME TO THE MEET-
INGS ARE PENALIZED
BECAUSE
THEY FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE
NEW INTERPRETATION OF THE LAW,
when by coming to the meeting they
could have availed themselves of the valu-
able advice freely given by other members.
Another new member, Mr. Y atter,
brought in a very good suggestion which
we will pass along concerning slugs. It
seems that le merchandise vending ma-
chines in the vicinity of many 5c and 10c
stores are slugged with many small iron
washers which are either purchased or
stolen from the dime stores by kids and
deposited in nearby le vending machines
which have no slug protection. Mr. Yatter
has found that upon request many dime
store managers have agreed to take the
offending washers off the counters as they
are not a large profit item and could be
supplied upon request. This removes the
temptation from in front of the young-
sters and maybe oldsters who would use
the washers for the purpose of slugging
machines. Try this suggestion on some of
the dime store managers near your loca-
tions and see if it will help relieve your
slug receipts.
Illustrating that a person is never too
old to be progress ive and active, one of
our ex-members, C. F. Pease, now well
past his eightieth year has recently com-
pleted patent application for a new and
very different type of merchandise vender,
the plans for which came from his ex-
periences as an operator.

Meeting of February 25th , 1941
It was with deep regret that the Associa-
tion learned of the untimely passing of
one of its most loyal members and a very
fine man, Nicholas Cosin, who was recent-
ly found dead in his home by an employee.
Cosin was a native of Rumania and a
naturalized American citizen; he was wide-
ly known as an authority on rare books,
and his collection of first editions was .' l
revelation to us all who did not really know
of his wide accomplishments and interests
until after it was too late. We never know
what fine personalities we have among us
frequently until after they are gone.
The new ruling on the Federal Income
Tax Law making it necessary to file re-
turns on the basis of gross income rather
than net earnings will catch many oper-
ators napping we are afraid. The law says
that a person must file a return whether
they finally net a profit or not under the
classifications as specified. New members
of the Association, Al Smith, and H. Paul
Kegley gave us valuable information on
the various ramifications of the law and
deductions possible to make. Johnson, one
of our old timers, is devoting much of his
time to aiding various people in making

Mape Music Has
Seeburg Showings
WHEN WERE YOU BORN?
by
LOS ANGELES-The E.T. Mape Music
Company, distributors of the Seeburg line
in California, Arizona and Nevada, enter-
tained more than 300 guests at the Holly-
wood Roosevelt Hotel on February 28th to
introduce the new Seeburgs for 1941. E. T.
Mape, and brother Vance, flew d~wn from
San Francisco to attend the affair.
L. B. McCreary, Los Angeles manager
for Mape Music; D. J. Donohue, factory
representative, and the Mapes expressed
themselves as well pleased with the turn-
out despite a constant downpour of rain
and displayed a fistful of orders from
operators to show just what their guests
thought of the Seeburgs for '41.
Following the Los Angeles unveiling a
line showing was held in · San Francisco
and for the week following open houses
were held in both branches so that opera-
tors Inight inspect the new numbers in a
leisurely manner.
Helene Paul, Famous Astrologer
If you were born between February 22
and March 21, you are born with the sun
in Pisces. You are super-sensitive, extremely
sympathetic, idealistic, very emo tional, and
highly impressionable. You are easily af-
fected by the opinions of others. Inclined
to be despondent and over-anxious, you
worry about many things that never hap-
pen. In other words, you are apt to "borrow
trouble." Quick to observe deficiencies in
others - as well as in yourself - you are
modest and timid, hesitating to promote
yourself.

LONG BEACH- It's too early to fall out
of apple trees, so Joe Richarme, popular
head of the Long Beach Coin Machine
Company, waxed the floor, mounted a step-
ladder, lost his balance, fell and broke
his elbow and is now shaking hands with
all visitors with his left hand.
The accident happened as Joe was hang-
ing some new drapes in his beautiful new
showrooms at 1628 East Anaheim.
"Maybe there's a bright side to this acci-
dent," smiled Joe. "With my right hand
and arm in a cast I can't sign checks. How-
ever the doctor knows that too so no doubt
I'll have it back in working order right
soon."

Joe--Yeh, but what if her back wasn't

A Piscean husband will dream about do-
ing great things, but will need constant
encouragement from his wife. He can do
his best work in solitude, so if he shuts
himself up in his room alone, it will be
best not to ask him why. Because he is so
sensitive, he will respond easily to his wife's
tears. He is extremely romantic, and can be
very demonstrative if he is sure his wife
will not ridicule or criticize his advances.
In an effort to hide that ever-present feeling
of inadequacy, he is apt to assume an air
of bravado. He will dramatize much that
will have happened during the day, and it
is just as well for his wife not to let him
know that she doubts his word. A Piscean
husband is not a fighter, and while he may
be nervously irritable, he will never directly
cause a quarrel. No matter what sign his
wife is, she will invariably have the upper
hand, and he, like the martyr he thinks he
is, will forgive her.
If you are a Piscean husband, or any
other sign for that matter, and want to
know more about yourself, your prospects,
and your future - how to handle your em-
ployees, when to make important changes
- an analysis of your own personal horo-
scope ( erected for the day, month, and
year of your birth) is recommended. How-
ever, in the meantime, you may be inter-
ested in experimenting with the coupon be-
low - regardless of the month in which you
were born. The analysis you will receive
has been done with unusual care and atten-
tion to detail.
(Would you like to know more about a certain
person•s little idiosyncrasies so that yo1:1 can
handle him more su ccessfully? Many important
problems are so lved through information that
astrological analyses afford. To get such an
analysis, send exact birthday-year, month and
day-plus a stamped sel£•addressed envelope and
10c to cover c l erical costs for each analysis you
want,)
