DO YOO KNOW ANY OF THESE 'MEN ?

leading operators in the West who have in-
stalled Buckley Music Systems in FIVE or more
of their locations. As suggested-why not ask
them their opinion of Buckley? Then you will
know why Buckley Wall Boxes are fi rst choice

Jack Roberts, veteran operator, is president
of Panoram Distributors, Inc. ; James F.
Cook is vice-president, with Earl Heroux
secretary-treasurer.
Ron Pepple, guiding light of Northwest

COI NI NGS O N THE CUFF-The $64

Pat Buckley
Buckleys in West
LOS ANGELES. - Mr. and Mrs. Pat
Buckley, of Buckley Music Systems and
Buckley Trading Post of Chicago, are en-
joying a vacation in Los Angeles and stop-
ping at the beautiful Ambassador Hotel.
Pat has been catching up on his sleep,
enjoying a well-earned rest, and spending
leisure time visiting with prominents in the
trade and taking in local sights. In addi-
tion Pat spent consideraille time wi!h Bud
Parr of General Music, discussing business
activities after the war is won.
girl from Texas. At last reports the army
was reorganizing its lines for a direct }is-
sault . . . The mining region of Idaho,
along with the "boot" camp at Bayview,
has given A . F. McFee of Wallace a chance
to strike a near bonanza. A recent survey
of Coeur d' Alene revealed that the average
weekly earnings of workers is $85.00; like
the farmer would say, "That ain't hay."

Lieut. Victor Sager, pilot instructor of the
world's best navy . . . Sandwiched in be-
tween duties with Panoram Distributors,
Inc., running arcades at Playland Park,
Redondo Beach, and operating a printing
shop, were a few morsels of spare tjme, so
Energetic Earl Heroux opened another ar-
cade in White Center.
Word has filtered through the military
intelligence grape-vine that Ray Pepple,
formerly operating for Joe Hart, is now an
army captain somewhere in continental
U.S.A . . . . Wilma Larsen, the lass with
class at Puget Sound Novelty, hails from
a 320 acre ranch in Ellensburg ... Appar-
ently that main event on the world-wide
fight card-Axis versus Allies for the cham-
pionship of civilization - isn't exciting
enough, because two certain phono opera-
tors are conducting their own Battle of the
Sexes. If there ever was a time when
charges of "bumping" spots and ill-feeling
in the ranks could be dispensed with,
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
"
feathered critters.
