. . . . . POSITIVELY! Today very little new salable merchandise is available,
and certainly none with the sex appeal and interest embodied in the PHOTO TRA Y cocktail
and hors d'oeuvre tray.
For the past five months we have been privileged to offer this new and sensationally different
item to the Coin Machine Fraternity on an exclusive basis but the nation can wait no longer.
Consequently we have taken over the national distribution and sales in all fields and we are
now arranging for increased production to take care of the terrific demand certain to result.
Hundreds and hundreds have been sold in our own Industry and orders have flooded our factory
so that deliveries, at certain times, have been delayed from one to two weeks. This is only
natural for PHOTO TRA YS have no equal and no competition for all PHOTO TRA Y subjects
are copyrighted and protected.
If you haven't ordered a trial dozen PHOTO TRAYS do so today, before the item is generally
available in retail outlets a few months away. Retail sales price' will be $6.00 each, and today
you can obtain it at our low advertising prices as shown on the opposite page.

To Hollywood comes the cream of the feminine crop of loveliness and from this fresh, vibrant,
luscious parade of pulchritude our dimension-conscious experts have selected the most exquisite
models to pose as PHOTO TRAY subjects. These glamorous models are artistically and cleverly
photographed and reproduced in 12 salon prints and permanently sealed in the PHOTO TRAY.
The subject is then given five coats of the finest bar-top lacquer to protect it against ringing,
scratching and marking. Frames and handles are of beautiful contrasting hardwoods, in natural
finish, and each tray is tissue packed in an attractive gift box. Size of tray is approximately
12" x 16".
FOR PREMIUM USE
- -nothing tops PHOTO TRAYS. Dozens of operators have used PHOTO TRAYS for premium
purposes-on salesboards, high score of the week prizes, special pull-boards, etc.-and repeat
orders attest the value of PHOTO TRAYS for premium use. Consider the irresistible appeal of a
few of these exciting trays on display -as premiums. Salesmanship passes away for the TRAYS
provide an unusual "come-on."
