DENVER-Despi te the uncertainty as to
the future distributors here are going along
much th e same as usual ; the previous feel-
ing of a boom year in the offing has changed
somewhat for one with a little more pes-
simistic ou tlook, but the general outlook is
that what has to be will be and that as
long as merchandise is available operations
will prevail much as usual, and that when
the emergency more-or-less overtakes the
industry it will be accepted in the best of
spirits with the knowledge that it is for the
best of all concerned, but "we have a job
to do and that it will be done in the best
manner ~ossible.
George Rowe, Wolf Sales Co_ territorial
man, returned from a trip through New
Mexico and Arizona reports a bright out-
look in that territory_ Harry Bozarth, opera-
tor of Springerville, Arizona, has expanded
his operations to include Holbrook and
Winslow, Arizona_ Things are looking up in
Phoenix, the combination of a large con-
centration of soldiers and th e start of a
banner tourist season keeping operations
humming. Dan Brennan, another Wolf ter-
ritorial salesman who has been transferred
to the San Francisco headquarters, turned
in a similarly optimistic report on his last
trip through Wyoming and Utah_ Jack Wat-
son, of Franney, and John Branney, of
Casper, Wyoming, are expanding their
routes; the latter now covering Lusk, and
incidentally voicing high enthusiasm for
organ speakers. Andy Stevenson, of Salt
Lake City, was a recent West Coast vaca-
tioner_ Operators Nick Barbarigos of Rock
Springs and Tex Netherly of Franney, both
rated crack shots have been doing a bit of
hunting, and Nick is supposed to have
bagged one of the largest Elk shot in
Wyoming this season.
Jim Gaddis, head of Mountain States
Music Distributors, Seeburg distributors, is
very much radiating the spirit of business
as usual. Jim says he stocked heavily dur-
ing November and has enough merchandise
to carry through a month or two.
George Fiori'na, Santa Fe, New Mexico,
operator made two Wurlitzer installations
at two of the best spots in Raton.
Century Music Co., Denver operators,
have made a clever gimmick for locations
where either the owner, bartender or a
waitress is a popular personality. The regu-
lation record identification card is replaced
with a card imprinted so-and-so's special
and the record is usually a novelty on the
order of Serenade To A Maid, The Bar-
tenders Song, or The Sow Song. Naturally
the customers are curious to see what the
special is and when they find out the su)'-
prise element is passed along to others and
results in steady play for the number. Cen-
" tu ry Music recently made the largest re-
mote control installation in Colorado when
sixty wall boxes and two Wurlitzers were
placed at The Brown Derby which is one
of the most popular rendezvous for sol-
diers in this area.
Gano Senter, head of The Rocky Moun-
tain Soundies Co., reports that Panoram
installations are going right along in the
territory for which the company hold fran-
