back fr.om a vacati.on t.o the m.ountain lakes
and n.o s.o.oner did he r eturn than Kn.oel
Cresswell, service man, packed his h.o.oks
and sinkers and set .out f.or his yearly fun .
Jack Gutshall tells .of the panhan dl er
standing in fr.ont .of th e tavern at Big Bear.
The chap had a hat in each hand and J ack
asked what was th e idea .of the tw.o hats,
t.o which th e bum repli ed: " Business is s.o
g.o.od th at I've .opened a branch .office !"
Earl Fraser, well kn.own in l.ocal c.oin
circles, is n.ow in the Air C.or ps and was
stati.oned at Oklah.om a City at last rep.orts.
Earl used t.o w.ork f.or Harry Kaplan.
H.oward Gr.ohe, .operat.or .of marble tables,

Ken is up and ar.ound again f.oll.owing his
tragic accident ab.oard a sc.o.oter a sh.ort
time ag.o. H e is impr.ovin g rapidly and dur-
ing his c.onfinement hi s marble table .opera·
ti.ons have been in the hands .of his very
capable missus: Lucky Ken!
Mac M.ohr was questi.on ed the .other day
ab.out his h.ome t.own. Said th e questi.oner:
"I supp.ose y.our h.ome t.own is .one where
every.one g.oes d.own t.o meet the train ?"
"What train ?" Mac replied, which pr.oves
he has a g.o.od sense .of hum.or.
Fred Gaunt is happy .over the Arcade
business in this area. His Troj an N.ovelty
C.o. is supplyin g a number .of the lads with
hard t.o get pieces.
Jimmie J.ones .opines that if his tires were
as g.o.od n.ow as they were a sh.ort time ag.o
his de luxe vacati.on .of tw.o years ag.o w.ou ld
take a back seat t.o a 1942 jaunt.
M.odern C.oin c.ontinues t.o be a p.opula r
dep.ot f.or c.oi nmen in S.outhern Calif. and '
Manager W.olf keeps busy keeping up with
the b.oys.
Fred Gaunt and his Tr.oj an N.ovelty C.o.
c.ontinue as busy as ever. Fred is d.oing it
ni ce Arcade business and his .only lament is
that equim ent is getting a bit t.ough t.o get
ah.o ld .of.

with the Parinas ; a few sales .of new equip-
ment are still being made a nd th e .operat·

To Avoid Delay Give Second Choice .
LOS ANGELES - The business being
done by the Badger Sales Co. continues to
grow and expand to the extent that owner-
manager William Happel, Jr., has found
it necessary to acquire 'additional storage
space at 1568 West Pico Blvd. The new
quarters are being used as a receiving room
for the quantities of equipment being pur-
chased in various parts of the nati'on by
Badger for reconditioning and sale to
Badger customers the country over.
In the office Mrs. Margaret Fitzgerald
has been added as secretary to care for the
mass of correspondence.
And in the shop Herman Schmidt, long-
time Badger employee ill Milwaukee, has
been transferred here as h~lper and me-
chanic.
Phono Fashion Show
HOLLYWOOD - The Broadway-Holly-
wood, fashionab le department store of the
movie capitol, staged its first "Annual Juke
Box Fashion Show" on August 22nd when
the college shop of the store paraded its
back-to-school offerings to the tunes of a
"real juke box". Event was given consider·
able space in the store's newspaper adver-
tising with an appropriate wash drawing
of an automatic phonograph.
Shellac Problem Remains
NEW YORK.-Just what will happen in
the future when record makers apply to
the government for shellac is a mystery,
Under a WPB order discers have been re-
ceiving 15% of last year's consumption of
shellac and present allotment order stands
until October 1st.
, Wha t will happen then is anyone's guess.
Some record men think there will be a slash
to 10% or 5% and others feel that the
government will consider the discers have
had ample time to perfect substitutes and
will shut off the shellac supply entirely.
Under the 15% order record manufac-
turers have been doing very well, for the
present salvage drive is bringing in a sub-
stantial amount of shellac, which when
added to th e 15% allotted, has been ample
for the reduced number of records being
released.
$380 Week in San Diego
SAN DIEGO-Somewhat of a record was
established here the week of August 31st
when the Pirates Cave, a new combination
malt shop, cocktail lounge, bar and dining
room, grossed $380.00 on a Rock-Ola instal-
lation.
These figures were given out by the owner
through Harry Gordon, sub-distributor for
Rock-Ola in the San Diego area who made
the installation. "In the spot we have 83
of our 5-10-25 cent Rock-Ola boxes, 1 Presi-
dent and 2 Premiers. This, we believe, is
probably the largest single installation in
the entire country and the gross attests to
the popularity of the Rock-Ola instruments
in the spot," said Gordon.
Gordon has just placed with Jean Min-
thorne an order for a half carload of the
new Commandos.
