Gaunt JO'ins General
LOS ANGELES - Announcement was
made here the first of November of the ap-
pointment of Fred Gaunt as manager of the
local office of General Music Co. Appoint·
ment was made by William (Bud) Parr,
owner of General Music, who is now active
in vital war work which prohibits his being
in the office for more than an hour or two
each week.
Gaunt is not a newcomer to the Coin
Machine field. For the past few years he
has operated the Trojan Novelty Co. as
jobber and distributor for various types of
coin·controlled equipment. He has been in
the business since 1926 and is thoroughly
acquainted with all phases for he has been
an operator, jobber and distributor at vari·
ous times during these years in the trade.
Fred is well known and well liked by memo
bers of the industry and has earned a repu·
tatlon of fairness and honesty in all of his
dealings. '
.
In World War I, Fred saw service in the
aviation corps for an 18 month period. For
the past ten years he has been located in
Southern California.
The best wishes of the entire industry
are with Fred Gaunt as he assumes the im·
portant task of manager of General Music
while Bud is away during the war months.

LOS ANGELES. - Mr. and Mrs. Pat
Buckley, of Buckley Music Systems and

Pat has been catching up on his sleep,

leisure time visiting with prominents in the

along with the "boot" camp at Bayview,
has given A . F. McFee of Wallace a chance
to strike a near bonanza. A recent survey

Word has filtered through the military

formerly operating for Joe Hart, is now an

brother-and sister-this is mosi certainly
the time . . . Fred Fields packed his trusty
musket and hied off for the wilds of Mon-
tana and Idaho, but the powers in the big
mansion postponed the pheasant hunting
season until November 8, so Fred renewed
acquaintances with friends and ignored the
