EMPIRE COIN MACHINE EXCHANGE
Monarch Well Stocked
CHICAGO-Besides having one of the
largest stocks of new and used equipment
in the nation Monarch Coin Machine Co.
is doing a big business in their repair servo
ice division.
"The interest of operators is equally
divided between our huge stock of new
and used equipment and our large, fully
equipped reconditioning shop," stated Al
Stern. "Hundreds of games have been re-
conditioned for duration operating at the
req\Jest of our customers. Our shipping and
receiving departments have been putting in
overtime to expedite deliveries of the reo
paired games, as well as those of the new
and used games purchased from our stock.
"The thoroughness of Monarch recondi-
tioning is well known to the trade and the
reputation for this service, established over
a long period, is recognized wherever coin
. machines are operated. It has been a big
factor in helping us to set sales records on
28 1 2 W _ NORTH AVENUE
CHICAGO , ILL. HUMboldt 6288
used games. Today, when used games are
vital requirements, for continued operating,
we enjoy the confidence of operators the
nation over, thanks to the constantly
guarded high standards which guide our
service department," Stern said.
Parina Family Enlarged
SAN FRANCIS CO.-Mary Lynn is the
name of the package from Heaven that
dropped into the R. A. Parina home the
last of May to take her place in the house-
hold with a 4Y2 year old daughter the Pa-
rinas adopted in the East a year ago.
Mary Lynn was only 10 days old when
she came to the Parinas but Dick has made
her arrival a terrific event and now little
Mary Lynn feels that the Parinas really
know how to do a bang up job on receiving
"bundles from Heaven."
EDITOR'S SIDE NOTE: Some of
you lads might miss Dick on the golf course
in the next few weeks. Remember that you
once, too, walked the floor at night.)

SEATTLE-The scene is the l.ocal navy
recruiting .office. Behind the desk sits C.om.
mander H. C. McNulty, with the g.old braid
.of the best navy in the w.orld casti·n g .off
glistening light. Int.o the inner sanctum
walks M.orrie Dickins.on, .one .of C.oin R.ow's
t.op flight service men. F.or s.ome feeks
M.orrie has been c.onsci.ous .of a zephyr· like
breeze bl.owing gently .on the back .of his
neck. Up.on cl.oser examinati.on, he dis·
c.overed that his selective service b.oard was
trying t.o get chummy. S.o M.orrie reas.oned
like th is: Why be a mere private in the
Army when the Navy gives ratings t.o spec·
ialized experts? Instead.of Private Dick·
ins.on, he might be Sec.ond Class B.oat·
swain's Mate Dickins.on, Dr even Chief
Petty Officer DicHns.on.
M.orrie explained that he was a c.oin
machine electrician, that he wanted t.o j.oin
the navy, and was s.ort .of w.ondering what
kind .of rating a man .of his caliber w.ould
receive.
C.ommander McNulty smiled patiently.
H.ow many times in h.ow many different
va6ati.ons had he h eard that .one? He put
the f.oll.owing questi.on t.o M.orrie: "If y.ou
were stati.oned .on a battleship and a mag·
net.o became defective and needed repair,
.:.
.:.
2546 North 30th St.
Milwaukee, Wise.
w.ould y.ou apply the same technique that
y.ou w.ould .on a pinball game wi th 'tilt'
sh.owing .on the backb.oard?"
P.ostscript - Seaman M.orrie Dickins.on
will s.o.on be swabbing decks f.or the fleet.
CO INI NGS O N THE CUFF- After a
year's Deccaing, D.oyal Gudgel said au reo
v.oir f.or a nati.onal .offense j.ob (n.o m.ore
"defenlle," fellas; we're levelling b.oth bar·
rels n.ow) at the Army Supply Dep.ot's P.ort
.of Embarkati.on .. . . Jack R.oberts is keep·
ing Art Rupel's 30· piece r.oute alive while
Art helps keep dem.ocracy alive in the
army . . . . Signs .of these strange times:
Remember h.ow the b.oys used t.o stand t.oe
t.o t.oe and fight t.o a finish .over ch.oice l.oca·
ti.ons? Well, t.o c.onserve tires and gas.oline,
the lads are c.ons.olidating their r.outes by
trading sp.ots.
The m.ot.orcycle bug has bit. S.ome Db·
serving chap disc.overed that a tw.o·wheeler
with riding c.ompartment was capable .of
transp.orting a pin game, and s.o.on after
the rush was .on. Milt R.oumm, Jerry Stef·
fan and A. K. Ly.ons laid it .on the line f.or
cycles. Bu t their enthusiasm eDDIed rather
quickly. After a few rides in a drivi·n g
rainst.orm with.o ut windshield pr.otecti.on,
R.oumm decided it was far less expensive
t.o walk than t.o reserve a r.o.om in the pneu·
m.oni·a ward. Steffan's few .odd mustache
hairs were t.ossed int.o c.omplete disarray by
the whistling winds, thus ruining what lit·
tIe pers.onal appearance he still retained,
while Ly.ons re·.opened an .old rupture
when his machine fell .on him. After view·
ing the tragedies befalling his friends, C.on·
servative B.ob Walker purchased a bicycle.
N.o speeding, n.o gas, n.o tires, n.o danger t.o
life and limb, n.o n.o thing-but fun.
Th.ose tw.o ain't·it·w.onderful·t.o-be·in·I.ove
cuties-Virginia Mattern and J.oy Davis-
have fl.own the c.o.op at Decca f.or p.osts
with the Civil Service C.ommissi.on. Ge.orge
Schnabel had a $4,000 cruiser and n.o place
tv g.o, s.o he went sh.opping f.or s.ome fishing
t&ckle. lack R.oberts, executive direct.or .of
C.oin R.ow's Fishing Advis.ory C.ouncil, esti·
mated the c.ost at $50, and then acc.om·
panied Ge.orge .on his buying t.our t.o make
sure he w.ould get quality merchandise at
l.ow prices. Ge.orge was very grateful f.or
this service, until the bill arrived. When
he saw $150 in the t.otal c.olumn, he had t.o
he bailed .out .of his .own b.oat and revived.
Uncle Sam cast c.ovet.ous eyes .on the 31
and 35 f.o.ot cruisers .owned by Operat.ors
D.on Waltz .of Seattle and B.ob Farrell .of
M.ount Vern.on. Unselfishly the b.oys said:
"Anything y.ou want is y.ours, Uncle, if it'll
help end this war any quicker." Emb.old·
ened by this gener.ous .offer, the Axis' Neme·
sis n.ot .only acquired p.ossessi.on .of the
b.oats, but the services .of the tw.o .operat.ors
as well. N.ow it's First Class B.oatswain
