LOS ANGELES - Coinmen celebrated
Mr. Morgenthau's big day by laying the
dough on the line on June 15th and no-
body complained of the second installment
taxes. Fact is that business has been so
good for operators that they hardly missed
the installment even though it was a pretty
nice figure for some of the lads. "This is
the way I figure it," said Paul Johnson,
local music operator. "We're doin.g a morale
maintaining job at home with our music
equipment. We consider that a definite con-
tribution to the war effort. But there's more
to it than just that. We must help our boys
on the fighting fronts and the best way we
can do it is to pay our taxes promptly, and
that's what I intend to do!" And it wasn't
a small sized check Paul sent Uncle Sam.
There's a new secretary over at Clark
Distributing Co. She is Eve Sheflin and is
doing right nicely under new head·man,
Aubrey Stemler.
Dick Smith and Ken Brown have been
specializing in music and cigarette instal-
lations in the harbor area and now have
made a nice army installation of 15 phono-
graphs and 70 cigarette machines in a camp
in the Southland. The hoys center their
operations in Long Beach.
Bill Simmons was laid up in mid-May
for three days with an infected throat.
Walter C. Bogenberger is now represent-
ing Penn Mutual Life Insurance Co_ and
is doing a nice business with the coinmen
on several different types of insurance.
Bogenberger has been doing business for
years under the fictitious name of C. Wafter~
& Associates and has built up a terrific fol-
lowing which now stands him in good
stead. Walter has a good insurance program
.
worthy of consideration by the boys.
Arch C. Riddell, Pasadena cigarette op-
erator, has purchased the cigarette route of
Walter McBride in Whittier. Riddell took
over about 60 pieces of equipment_ Mc-
Bride is joining the Armed Forces.
. Harry Kaplan of Southwestern Vending
Machine Co. is about ready to launch forth
on another trip throu gh the territory. Harry
always comes back with a lot of equipment
in his wake. In fact for weeks after there
are daily arrivals of equipment from almost
every spot Harry visits.

couple of weeks were Jack Arnold, Bar-
stow; George Bacon, J. L. Stephens, George
Wheelock, San Diego; J. P. Cusick, Santa

mention only a few.
Bud Parr is a frequent visitor at the of-
Ilces of his General Music Co. Bud is
pretty much on the 'go all of th e time in
behalf of his government work, but finds a
few minutes every now and then to get into
the office and check up on sales, contacts,
and what have you.
F. P. Carter is now operating the Ar-
cade at Big Bear for Walter E. Gaunt.
Walter's operations at 29 Palms keep him
so occupied that such an arrangement was
necessary.
I. B. Gayer, San Bernardino, reports col-
lections above par with a lot of army ac-
tivity in his area. It's getting hot out his
way these days, too.
Bob Cardiff, San Miguel, made Los An-
geles mid-month to pick up equipment.
Johnnie Fleming of Badger Sales service
department is leaving for service in the
army.
Gene Dixon, the mechanic and service
ace at Jack Gutshall's. will be on hand for
th e duration. Called for an army physical
on the 11th, Gene was excused and is now
back at his post ready to do justice to
music operators' complaints_
Bill DuPree was in fr.om Brawley. Calif.,
to purchase some new equipment for the
Imperial Valley Amusement Co., and let
the word out that it's plenty hot down there
now. In fact a temperature of 115 at noon
is the re'!ular thing.
Jane Carico is winding up three years
with the Jack Gutshall Distributing Co.
When it comes to records, Jane knows her
platters.
Bill Shorey, Inland Amusement Co., San
Bernardino. isn't complaining about the
" take" in his spots. Bill has a lot of equio-
ment servicing the army men stationed in
his area.

10th of .Tune.

sez: "A marriage is like a pinball machine
-a man's p()ckets are always tilted!"
