SAN FRANCISCO - The Amusement
Merchants' Association held their regular
annual business meeti ng on F ebruary 26th.
The Nominating Committee, which had
been appointed at a previous meeting and
consisted of Gerry Barron, Myron Jacobson
an d Joseph . Noto, reported that after a
careful study and consideration of the
splendid performance of the 1941 directors,
it was their recommendation that the fol-
lowing be nominated for re-election to the
board of directors: Alexander Armos of
Golden Gate Novelty; Sidney Mackin :
Vance Mape of E. T. Mape Music; Wolf
Reiwitz of Wolf Sales; John Ruggiero of
Jack R. Moore; Monte Thomson of Crown
Specialty and Louis Wolcher of Advance
Automatic Sales.
It was furt her recommended that Irving
Goldblatt of the Hirschfield Sales be nom·
inated to fill the vacancy left by Alexander
Carr who i's no longer active in Hirschfield
Sales. Two additional new members nom-
inated to the board were Warren Taylor of
Mills Sales and Philip E. Scott.
Committee suggested Sidney Mackin be
re-elected as president, John A. Ruggiero
as treasurer and Miss F. G. Bowman elected
as secretary.
The membership accep ted the nomina-
tions and unanimously elected th e officers
and directors.
Following the elections the chair ap-
pointed Captain Roy N. Francis as ser-
geant-at-arms; the annual certified audi t of
the association's books and records read,
and a summarized report of the many
activities and accomplishments of the asso-
ciation given.
MUNCIE, Inc.-Gay Games, Inc., is rap-
idly becoming the foremost manufacturer
of coupon games and salesboards with the
installation of new specially· designed ma-
chinery and production at a new hi gh. A
seven day 24-hour schedule has prevailed at
the plant since last October and the firm is
adhering to its policy of shipping all orders
as quickly as possible.
New York Spo+S :Close
NEW YORK- Walter Winchell, in his
syndicated column for March 5th said:
"More than 135 candy stores in Manhattan
have folded since the Mayor outlawed pin-
ball machines."
Dozens of new design~ and ideas are in
process of production and will be shortly
introduced. Among the sensational new
ideas are 4 baseball deals that have plenty
of profit possibilities. These will be formally
announced in the April REVIEW.
Babe Paul Bunyan, "V" Board, Stars and
Stripes, Forward March, Cherry Carnival,
Champions, Modern Sumbol Bard and
dozens of other profitable salesboards are
creating wide·spread interest. Gay Games
slogan-"For Super-~ensations, buy Gay
Games Creations," has taken on full mean-
ing to the thousands of operators who are
using these profitable numbers.
On coupon ideas Gay Games will an-
nounce a new one shortly th at will have
jobbers and distributors vying with each
other for quick deliveries. The deal will be
announced in the advertising columns of
THE REVIEW.
eMI Elect for 142
CHICAGO-At the annual meetin g of
Coin Machine Industries, Inc., at the Hotel
Sherman, March 3rd, Dave Gottlieb; of D.
Gottlieb & Co., was elected President; Sam
Wolberg, of Chicago Coin Machine Co.,
Vice-President; John Chrest, of Exhibit
Supply Co., Secretary, and Richard Groet-
chen, of Groetchen Tool Co., Treasurer.
James A. Gilmore was re-elected Executive
Secretary.
, .
Newly elected members of the Board of
Directors are: W. E. Bolen of Northwestern
Corp., R. W. Hood of H. C. Evans & Co.,
David C. Rockola of Rock·Ola Mfg. Corp.,
Walter A. Tratsch of A. B. T. Mfg. Co.,
Louis W. Gensburg of Genco, Inc., F. H.
Parsons of Buckley Mfg. Co" and William
Rabkin of International Mutoscope Reel Co.
Following the elections th e meeting was
turned over to a discussion of current prob·
lems and plans for the future under war-
time regulations. It was generally agreed
that the Industry is experiencing " the
worst" right now and that as soon as people
find out where they are at, conditions will
start to improve and the Industry will ad-
just itself accordingly.
The memb ers went on record as definitely
in favor of continuing the Association and
its offices in the Hotel Sherman, as well as
the services of James Gilmore. It is felt
that the Associati'on will be very useful as
a clearing house for all sorts of information
and in addition will be helpful in aiding
members to adjust their manufacturing ac-
tivities to defense requirements. Further·
more the Association can do a noble work
in counseHng operators as to activities in
the Coin Machine Capitol of the nation now
that visits of operators are frowned upon
because of Defense regulations in factories
engaged in war work.

Atlas Finds Optimism
.
CHICAGO-"Very few pessimistic opera·
tors come into our place of business,"
stated Eddie and Morrie Ginsburg of Atlas
Novelty Co. "In fact most of the operators
today are enjoying wonderful business and
looking ahead to even increased business
in the months and years ahead. We find
more operators calling on us today for
equipment than at any time in the past.
We are well able to furnish a va riety of
mon ey-making equipment and consequently
we are optimistic, too.
"Not only are operators optimistic over
their operations, but they report that th ere
is a growing spirit of Americanism which
they have noted in makin g their rounds,"
the boys concluded.

sented with the Treasury Departmen t's new
