Coin Machine Review (& Pacific ...)

Issue: 1942 August

CALIFORNIA
LOS ANGELES-Vacations have been of paramount considera-
tion in the minds of ML and Mrs. Coindom of Southern California
for the past four weeks. Some sought mountains, some found
pleasure at the beaches in the current dim outs (no !!L>mm'e nts),
and some just stayed at home and planted those plants that grow
regardless in the magic earth of California.
Harry Winslow loaded up the wife and daughter and left July
20th for his regular visit with the folks near Butte, Montana, an!i
to see if the fishing holes that have been so fertile in years past
have been discovered by others. Harry went via Salt Lake and
planned the trip so he could get through the hot desert country dur-
ing the night.
Mansom & MacDonald, who have Arcades down in the Long
Beach P leasure Zone, found a visit worth while to Paul Laymon's
establi,hment recently.
Stanley Turner, former service instructor for Wurlitzer and
Packard Products, is now doing his bit for Uncle Sam as foreman
in the Electrical Research Co. Stanley took over on July 20th,
H. Gorman, who operates the Hip Arcade at Redondo Beach, and
has a concession or two in travelling carnivals, can tell some yarns
about the old-timers. Gorman used to run slots up in the Stockton
area ~hen California was the golden state the Chamber of Com-
merce now advertises in another way. Lately Gorman has been
doing not-too-badly with his Arcade at the Beach, although a
renegade raft undermined hi's place, clipped the pilings, and sev-
eral thousands of dollars worth of automatic equipment dropped
into the rocky surf, By the time Gorman got boats down to pick up
what was left a six-inch piece of board from a Rock-Ola World's
Series seemed to be the main salvage. Gorman is taking it in stride
for the insurance lads are digging deep to find the clauses nobody ,
reads.
Paul Butts, from Bakersfield, found some consolation in getting
over the hills in late July and found Los Angeles an oasis if there
ever was one.
Ja~k Gutshall's right hand gal, Jane Carico, is now on her two
week vacation. Said Jane: "I'll do this one close to home. Heavens
knows what might happen." Jane should know!
Ray Thomas advised the operators on July 13th that counter
sales will be made on Monday, Wednesday and Friday only, with
no deliveries on other days. Well, well!
Elaine Ryan is the new face at Badger Sales, She replaces Law-
rence Taylor, who is now in the Office of War Ipformation in Wash-
ington. Elaine was formerly with the Music Institute of California.
G, 1. (Red) Catlin is happy about the war business his Arcade
is doing at Indian Springs.
Ed and Vance Mape were in town during July to check over with
head-man L. B. McCreary, ways and means of serving Seeburg
operators even better than before.
And at Mape Music we must doff our hats to the sweet recep-
tionist and office mana~er, Geraldine Douglas, who took the plunge
in Yuma, AriZ., on July 5th and came home with C. B. Krausi as
hubby. THE REVIEW extends every best wish to the couple,
Paul Laymon has had a full share of visitors during the past
month, In for new equipment, to chew the fat, and sample the
Laymon brand of hospitality were: Ray Reynolds from Big Bear;
Harry Gordon from San Diego; Lucille Arnold from Barstow;
LeWIS Leibee from Hanford and Bishop, and Charles Waite from
Phoemx,
Mr. and Mrs. Carlsen, Phoenix, are in town on vacation and
enroute to Big Bear.

Mac intends to care for his customers and
use the spot for an operating base.
Percy Shields really tasted heat when he
made a delivery of Arcade Equipment down
Indio way the last week in July. With 110
in the shade Percy had a tire go out on his
trailer and it practically ditched him.
After spending a full month at Big Bear
Jack Gutshall believes he's discovered how
to get the limit of trout without wasting too
much time. Jack invited his secretary, Jane
Carico, to accompany him and the missus
on a fishing trip at Big Bear recently. Jane
didn' t expect to fish, but when she saw how
exquisitely her employer handled his rod
and reel, she asked for a fishing pole of her
own. Jack quickly accommodated, and
almost as quickly a game warden came by,
questioned the party, made threats, raised
hell and J ack went into action. Jane quickly
acquired a fishing license, and as night fell
. . . ALL WAS WELL.
Lucille Laymon h as enlisted for Canteen
Duty for the American Red Cross.
G. M. O'Dell, R adium Springs, New Mex-
ico, visited THE REVIEW on August 10th,
and commented on the activity at Radium
Springs. O'Dell is the major-domo of the
town and owns the )lOtel, swimming pool,
and most of the stores. At present, he
states, invalids from all parts of the nation
are finding the curative waters of Radium
Springs very benefici'iiL As a result, O'Dell's
coin-operated equipment is getti ng a good
play.
Glen Wallichs, g. m. of Capitol Records,
returned to Hollywood on th e 1st, excited
over the reception given Capitol's first two
releases from here to the eastern coast.
Russell Smith, head-man at the L. A.
office of California Simplex, is back from a
month's trip to Chicago. Russell got a taste
of hot weather when he fished in Northern
Minnesota on the way home. Russell is cur-
rently whispering about the new Wurlitzer
replacement cabinet.
Arcade Boss Murphy, who has the Ar-
cade at Crestline in the San Bernardino
Mountains, and is about ready to open a
new Arcade in the Imperial Valley, was in
Los Angeles late in July to buy equipment
from Percy Shields, and others, for his new
spots.
J. A. Ewing, Bakersfield, is back from a
trip to Washington, D. c., and New York
City.
'c. C. Goodson, one of the old-timers in
the coin machine business, was in from
Pasadena talking over the good old days
with Paul Laymon.
Marvin Jones, son of Roy Jones, well·
known music operator, is an air cadet at
Santa Ana Air Base.
Nelson Baker, former service man for
Paul A. Laymon, is in training at Shepherd
Field, Texas. Nelson is in the Technical
Ground Training School.
Frank Richards, floor salesman for Gen-
eral Music, can tell 'em taller than anyone
we've ever encountered. For example Frank
said he was fishing for Bonita and the fish
were so thick he couldn't row his boat.
AND to top that-Frank tells of a fishing
excursion in Alaska where the trout were
so plentiful that you could Ji'ft them out of
the water in your own skillet. All of which
moves us to nominate Said Richards for
membership in the Burlington (Wis. ) Liars'
Club. We think Richards will fare well on
honors.
Robert Fairchild is now in training at
San Diego for service in the Navy.
A. S. Beutler, of the Laymon firm, is
back from the High Sierras with pictures
to prove he really did get what others talk
about.
William Rowe, Phoenix, Ariz., picked
July as a good time to come West and pick
up equipment.

Shelley Surprised
LOS ANGELES-During the first week
of August a very bewildered individual,
none other than Mr. Shelley of Shelley
Radio Co., 'phoned THE REVIEW and said:
"My goodness where does your magazine
really go? I'm getting tube orders from all
over the United States!"
Shelley apparently didn't know that THE
REVIEW has the blue ribbon subscription
list of operators in the industry from coast·
to·coast. Even though his tube supplying
business must necessarily be confined to
serving Music Men in the Western Area
during the war months Shelley is apprecia·
tive of the national interest and hopes to
be able to supply these customers at an
early date.
