LOS ANGELES-"It looks like a ban·
ner year for the Mape Music Co.," declared
local manager, L. B. McCreary, in com·
menting on th e sale of Seeburg equipmen t
so far this year.
"Seeburg has given the operators a well
rounded out lin e of eq uipm ent adaptable
to any type of location and any type of in·
stallation th at may be required. On the
Aoor, on the bar and in the booth there is
a special Seeburg machine to take ca re of
the musical appetite of th e patrons. Opera·
tors have found in Seeburg th eir fulfill·
ment of their every musical requirement
a nd a a result of this we have enjoyed one
of our best years," concluded McCreary . •

Hart Music Busy With
Packard PIa-Mor
SEATTLE - Although established on
co inrow barely over three months the Hart
Music Co. offices have become one of th e
busiest spo ts in town with operators Ao ck·
ing in from all parts of Eastern Washing-
ton to stock up on Packard P la-Mo r re-
mote con trol units, adapters and speakers.
Said manager J ack Turner: "We are very
pleased with the fine response we have had
from Wash ington co inmen on Packard
equ ipment. It was easy for th e operators to
see that here was a money-making line for
them unequalled in coi n machine hi story.
Our new location is for the operators' con-
venience and we invite all Washington op-
e rators to make our home th eir headquar-
ter in Seattle. Th e complete line of Pack-
ard products is on display."

Bolly Sees
Multiple Boom
CHICAGO-Demand for multiple games
increased sharply during the first week of
October, according to George Jenkins, gen·
eral sales manager of Bally Mfg. Co. "We
attribute this," Jenkins said, " to the new
tax. Operators are acting to offset the tax
as much as possible by in creasing their
average earnin gs per loca tion , and the ob-
vious way to do this is to obtain the ben-
efi ts of multiple coin operation. Conse-
quently our sales volume is up on both our
T urf Kin g multiple payout and 41·Derby
multiple replay. Both games have already
demonstrated their power to push collec·
tions up, and are the lo gical choice of
operators who now need extra revenue to
cover th e tax and other increased operating

LOS ANGELES-The regular monthly
meeting of th e Western Vending Machine
Operators Association was held at Mc·
Donald's, Sixth and Figueroa, on September
30th and a rip-roaring good time was en-
joyed by the exceptionally good attendance.
All of the officers were on hand and all of
the old timers except one . . . Past Presi -
dent Scott.
Scott had a good excuse for being absent
from th e meeting for he was honeymooning
with hi s wife at points unknown. The chair
sugges ted co ngratulations were in order
and the boys extended the finest to Scotty
in his new connubiality.
Guest of the evening was W. E. Earl,
representative of the Stoner Corporation,
who spoke briefly and gave the boys so me
interesting points on candy bar operating.
Business portion of th e meeting ended at
8 :45 and the balance of the even ing was
spent playing Bingo until the 11 p.m. ad-
journment. The members have a picn ic
playing Bingo with tbeir stock in trade. _ .

Victor Oilers Ad
Tie-Up Stickers
CAMDEN - Agreeing with the ancient
adage that a winning combination should
never be broken up, RCA Victor announces
a new service for the Coin Machine Trade:
Coin Phonograph stickers as tie-ins with
the weekly Life advertisements.
The trem endous and su rprising success
of the Glenn Miller-Sun Valley Serenade
sticker in conj un ction with a single col-
umn Life ad is responsible. Henceforth, all
RCA Victor's Life ads featuring the popu-
lar "Hit of th e Week" recording will be
coupl ed with a ttractive stickers for coin
machin es.

Tenant: "I wish you would speak to the
people upstairs. This morning at three
o'clock they were jumping up and down
and banging on the Aoor. I won't stand
for such disturbances."
Landlord: " How did you happen to hear
them at that time of night?"
Tenant: "I was practici ng on my saxo-
phone."

" I just saw two cops chasing a man
through a drug store."
"Did they catch him ?"
" No. He stepped on a set of scales and
got a weigh."

"Are you sure," an anxious patient asked
a physician, "are you sure that I shall re-
cover? I have heard that doctors sometimes
give wrong diagnoses, and have treated pa-
tients for pneumonia who afterwards died
of typhoid fever."
"You've been woefully misinformed," re-
plied the medico indignantly. "If I treat a
man for pneumonia he dies of pneumonia!"
" Twice as many people are coming these
days to the theatre to see Lucille's fan
dance."
"Were the prices reduced?"
"No, but the fan was."
