Coin Machine Review (& Pacific ...)

Issue: 1941 May

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!

Walters Solves the
Operators' Problems
LOS ANGELES-"Bri ng your worries to

who has a definite prob lem, whether it be
financ ial, machine shortage, or what. To

of interest. All in all, our service is com-
plete and all-inclusive. We ask operators
to contact us, regardless of what their re-

INDEX TO CONTENTS
MAY. 1941
One of Frisco's most artistic taverns is Hellwig·s. located at 45 Stockton Street. Featuring
a general mauntain resort atmosphere. the beauty and novelty af the decoratians have caused
much favorable camment. Wurlitzer Music Merchants Orri and Rossi quickly sensed that here
was an ideal spot for a Colonial model. The proprietar took one look at a "780" and decided
they were right. Now the instrument is a favorite with Hellwig patrons and a real money-
maker for location and aperators.
