A good time was had by all three of the Happy Revelers at
a Los Angeles ni ght club when Dolores and Jean Minthonte,
Southern Califontia Distributors of Rock-Olas, showed the
town to Fred Neuman, Northern California Roc k-Ola Dis-
tributor. They each had glowing reports of the unusu a l sales
of the n ew Rock-Ola Tone Columns and Mystic Music in
their territories, and are shown with their heads together
plannin g a flyin g trip to Chicago to urge d eliveries for their
many orders. No wonder they look so happy-they've got
Rock-Ola to talk about, whi ch is admittedly TOPS in the
phonog raph world for 1941!
