Parr Sees Good In War
LOS ANGELES-While no one likes th e
war as such, with its losses in life and
property, Bud Parr, head of General Music
Co. recognizes truth in the old adage, "It's
an ill wind that blows nobody good."
Viewed strictly from a coin machine
standpoint, Parr declares that makers and
sellers of equipment will have rough going
for the duration-pointing out that no one
is really complaining so long as he knows
we're going to win no matter what it takes
- but that the same condition will prove a
boon for operators.
"Too often we forget that it takes an op-
erator to make the effort of a jobber, dis-
tributor or manufacturer worth anything.
After all, operators are the backbone of
the industry, and they' ve often been saddled
with the need for purchasing new equip-
ment they couldn't afford, in order to keep
up with the parade. Even before their older
equipment was really obsolete, usually be-
fore it was paid for, th ey had to reinvest,
and that mean t heavy carrying charges and
a reduction in income.
"So the fact that for the duration we'll
have no new devices to catch the operator's
-or the public's-eye means a chance to
pay for all the old ones, clean the books,
build up a cash balance for the post-war
period, and start off in high 'gear when vic-
tory is complete."
At both the local office, where Parr is in
charge, and a t th e San Francisco office
under management of Ernie Brennan, th ere
is a supply of parts adequate to keep pres-
ent equipment in good operating con dition
and a reasonable stock of good used equip-
