HOUSTON, T exas - Operators ·C. M.
Robertson, F. C. Smi th and Paul Janke,
treated at the Hou ston Operators social
meetin g and party at Southern Select b eer
warehouse on Sept. 3rd. As usual most of
the op erators and servicemen in the City
were present to enjoy a fin e spaghetti sup·
per , plenty of Southern Select b eer, and
learn a few thin gs helpful in phonograph
operatin g.
William P eacock acted as master of
ceremoni es. Representatives of the local In-
ternal Revenue offi ce and City Tax offi ces
were present and informally discussed som e
things connec ted with phono graph operat-
in g and loca tions.
A large P enny Arcade was open ed in th e
East End section of Hou ston Sept. 4th.
Owners are Frank and Billie Saenz and
Mr. and Mrs. Grafton Nuckols, all form erly
with Rogers Greater Shows. Frank Saenz is
manage~, with Billie Saenz as cashier.
Nuckol s is workin g in a sh ipyard until
business improves enough to j ustify hi s
active connection with th e firm.

pressed intentions of enlisting shortly.
Operator C. W. Robertson open ed a nifty
drive·in and dance cafe on the North Side
ea~ly in September. He reported busin ess
good and improvin g.
Ernest Gates, owner of Gulf Sta tes
Amusement Co., smacked i'nto a bit of
labor shortage recently. His brother, E. W.
Gates, went to work in the shipyard. Next
day hi s service man, J. T. Chadwick, suf-
fered a broken foot and could not drive a
ca r for weeks. Meantime George H ubb ard
who replaced E. W . Gates as an operator
went into the Army. Th en Russell Merritt,
service man, b ecame ill with th e flu and
was off two weeks. Last report was that
Ern est and his wife, who also is secretary,
were still present, well, carryin g on their
work ; and perhaps a bi't glad they are not
owners of, say a several million doll ar
con cern.
Most local op erators and distributors do·
nated to the limit in the nationwide scrap
drl· ve. At Galveston over 100 slot machl' n es
were add ed to th e pile.

CHICAGO.- Des pi te th e fact that Uni ted
Manufacturing Co. is one of the newest
organizations in th e game refurbishing
fi eld, th e firm reports that every part of
its business is runn ing smoothly and reo
fu rbished gam es are b eing shipped to all
parts of th e coun try.
"It is because of the smoo th fun ctioning
of all departments of our fa ctory that we
are able to make the stepped·up deliveries
we have b een making since our first week
in this business. Orders and reorders ar e
coming in faster every day. Without prop-
erly co-ordinated departments, it would be
. impossibl e to make gam es over in th e skill·
fu l manner we are noted for and yet give
delivery on them as quickly as we do. Too
fast returning of games usually me ans that
som e part of the work has been given the
once over lightly treatment, but that never
happens in our plant. Midways and Sun
Valleys are going out faster than ever."
Mrs. H. R. Perkins Passes
CHICAGO- Funeral services were held
at S t. Matthew's Episcopal Church in
Evanston, October 3rd for Mrs. Harold R.
Perkins, who passed away suddenly on
September 30th.
Survivin g are her husband, who is con·
n eeted wi th the Buckley Music Systems
and Buckley Tradin g Post, and three chil o
dren, Shirl ey, John a nd Carol P e rkin s.

CHICAGO. - Just what happens to a
piece of equipment that is reconditioned at
Atlas Novelty Co.? We asked this question
of Eddie and Morrie Ginsburg, officials of
the firm, and got this enlightening and in·
teresting answer.
"The same attention is given 'a repair job
as is given an order for reconditioned equip.
ment.
"For example, a pin game is placed on
a bench, thoroughly cleaned inside and out,
and parts checked for weakness or wear.
Replacements are brand·new manufacturers'
originals. The game is then played over and
over by a mechanic until it works as
smooth ly as the day it came from the fac·
tory. Final step is complete inspection by
Frank Bach, shop superintendent.
"Phonographs get the same treatment.
Washed and cleaned, the chassis is removed
and inspected. Necessary replacements are
made. Tone is improved and the phono ad·
justed to get the greatest possible volume
with a minimum, of vibration or distortion.
The pick·up head is adjusted. All movable
parts are tied down to make the machine
safe for transportation.
"We have the latest and most modern
spraying and painting devices to assure
speed and efficiency. When necessary the
old paint job is scraped off and a new face
made up. Scratches and holes are filled in.
"Operators who have tried our service
have expressed entire satisfaction and usu·
ally end by ordering all additional equip.
ment needed at the time, knowing it will
give them maximum return on their invest·
ments."

GLENDALE, Calif.-H. R. Graham, the
veteran repair and reconditioning specialist
of the Coin Machine Industry, has won a
, new , "First" for himself. This time it's in
the repair and reconditioning of Vest Pocket
bells and the installation of his new "no
dry tube" device.
Says Graham, "Operators are having the
best of luck wi th the Perfect Vest Pocket
Anti·Cheating Device I have perfected as a
supplementary service in my repairing and
refinishing. Operators who use them say the
receipts have increased one·third or more.
Operators are buying brand new machines
and having me work them over before put·
ting them on loc'a tion."
THE REVIEW can attest to the authentic·
ity of this statement, for the Graham shop
is filled daily with equipment submitted
for the "Graham touch" and there seems to
be no let·up in the parade. Despite the rush,
Graham is still turning them out on sched·
ule and the same perfect work is evidenced
on each unit.
