·/ {IlIfJIlJ eit~
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (RC)-This col·
umn, probably the last you will see from
this correspondent for some time, is more
of a "good-bye" letter than a news account.
We wanted to get around in Kansas City
and tell all our operator friends so-long
before we left but circumstances prohibited
us from completing this objective. So now
we are in camp.
However, before we left we were able to
learn that Boss Berkowitz of Universal
Manufacturing Co. has completely recov·
ered from his emergency operation for ap-
pendicitis and that his firm's equipment is
working night and day on the ever-growing-
more-popular jar games.
Steve O'Hara is back in Kansas City
after a trip and job in the South_ While in
Tulsa he worked for Charles Hillinger of
the Star Amusement Co. He says that mu-
sic is going over great down there and that
guns are getting a lot of attention. Although
his plans aren't certain, Steve believes he
may go back to the Oil State sometime in
the near future. His headquarters late in
August was the United Amusement Co.
The operators who were making bets that
Carl Hoelzel would soon tire of the worry
and work connected with running an up-
and-coming farm seem now to be out of
pocket for not only is Carl still very much
interested in the rural side of the picture
but now numbers among his assets on hand :
1,000 chickens, 150 hogs, and 100 head of
cattle. And what's more, he's growing hi s
own feed . All the talk about meatless days
doesn't worry him a bit_ He says, "I've got
all I want running around on the hoof."
Ed labowsky, now daytime manager of
Wonderland, has brought back his work
bench and any local operator who would
like to see what a few converted electrical
parts can do to add new interest and life
to heavily played equipment, that has been
working on an 18-hour-a-day basis, should
look in on Ed. Tommie Thompson is night
manager and offers a prize to any operator
who can point out a good-looking waitress
in the 12th and Grand area that he can't
name, address and telephone number.
Operators in the Kansas City area are
now breathing easier since the new "Per
Unit" City ordinance has become effective
requiring the $10 stamp for tables and the
$5 for phonos. At first it looked like these
stamps might be of the $25 variety.
Most local distributors report that they
are still able to fill orders- on at least good
used equipment_ And word is making the
rounds that Vendo Manufacturing Co., now
in war production, will shortly be awarded
the muchly prized Service "E" for excel-
lence in service in war production_
Arcade men throughout the area are very
happy because they are having one of their
best hot-weather seasons. Most of them re-
port that they are at least breaking even,
which is something many of them have not
done during summer months in the past,
and a few report rather good profits which .
is very unusual. And all th is with their
best season just ahead.
Rural operators are the ones with a legiti-
mate kick. Transportation has become a
serious problem for them and most city
headquarters firms are cutting down on
their rural operations. And added to this is
the fact that many, before excellent loca-
tions, are now just so-so with traffic falling
off at a rate to be expected.
Vendor and peanut operators are also
pulling in their nets in many areas. Trans-
portation and the fast rising prices of pea-
nuts and confections are given by most of
them as reasons.
But, on the whole, the picture is good
since transportation worries are also limit-
ing the coin machine players to the more
congested areas and giving operators an
opportunity to douhle up on the better
spots. The development seems to be that
total inco me from the coin boxes is more
or less stabilized with expenses about the
same, and in some cases less than formerly
