Coin Machine Review (& Pacific ...)

Issue: 1944 December

Seattle
I
Coin Machine Row welcomes with open
arms-Morrie Dickinson. Morrie has been
released from the Merchant Marine and
is now back with his first love, the coin
machines. Morrie is well known for his
humor and good nature and will be found
these days in the shop of the Puget Sound
Novelty Co.
Surprise of th e week - John Michael
visiting on th e Row. John seems to have
a pronounced aversion for coin machines
since he went in for dairying. Seems like
old home week with John around.
Irv Stept has sold his place in Seattle
and intends to make his future home in
Los Angeles. Looks like Al Brashem will
have to give up the horses for a while
and take Irv's place on the route. Cly
Newton has also left the northwest. Sorry
to see Irv and Cly leave and everyone
hopes they will be happy in th eir new
hom es.
In lin e with the proverbial beanstalk,
th e Puget Sound Novelty Co. has grown
and grown . . . practi'cally overnight . . .
and now offers one of the largest and
finest distributing houses in the Pacific
Northwest. All operators, distributors and
manufacturers are invited to inspect their
new and attractive showrooms as well as
th eir modern equipped Shop and Parts
Department. Th e practicability of the
shop will particularly interest the opera-
tors who are now able to obtain the best
of service. When in Seattle, don't fail to
visit them.
George Austin, genial operator from
Pasco, Washington, in Seattle for a few
days combinin g business with pleasure.
While in town he visited at Jack R. Moore's
picking up parts and suppli es for the
route.
J. A. Clark in from Yakima; came over
the mountains to look over equipment on
Coin Row.
Bob Farrell tripping it in from Oak
Harbor and way points.
Bert Beutler and Chuck Barnett of the
Jack R. Moore Co., week-ending in Port
Angeles and visiting local operators in
that section. Bert has been batching this
month while his Missus is back in Ken-
tucky; however, Mrs. Barnett went along
to chaperon the trip.

The Roland E. Allens have adopted a

Ed Polaske has taken over Marty Fibi-

Friends of Charlie Fey, that grand old
man who invented th e original Bell ma-
chine, will be grieved to learn of his pass-
ing on November 10th. To those of us who
knew him personally we feel we have suf-
fered a great loss . . . he was kind to
youn,:?; as well as older people and his place
on Mission Street in San Francisco was a
landmark si nce his footprints were worn
through to th e seco nd flooring where he
had stood at hi s bench for 40 years.

ing all night and half a day wa1tmg for
the tide to go out and come back in, we
were rescued by a fisherman, and the men
later by the Coast Guard. The two chil-
dren thou ght it was a grand lark ... how-
ever, it wasn't nearly so funny to the folks
at home nor to the folks at the office .. .
including the Coast Guard, of which Mr.
Cusso n is a Warrant Officer. But they say
the fishing is better now and so are the
ducks . .. so we will go again . . . better
luck next time.

She: "That must be very discouraging."

Bob : Say Herb, do you like Ping Pong?
don't.
Herb : You don't? I think it's fine.
Bob: Fine! Why, how is that?
Herb : Well , you and your girl play, and
when you miss the ball yon and your girl
look for it under the table.
Bob : Yes, but where is the fun?
Herb : The fun is under the table, with
your girl.

Practically the whole organization of the
Puget Sound Novelty turned out in full
force to help celebrate George Schnabel's
birthday. We hear the party was a success
and that some of the employees have ta].
ents never before known. Such hula danc•
ing- wowee!
Wayne Odom just bought a route east
of the mountains. Wayne is a very likable
fellow and we know will be successful in
operating.
Jerry Steffan hasn't received much "rib.
bing" about that six by six moustache of
his of late. Better give up, Jerry, or maybe
a little hair tonic would do the trick.
New faces at Puget Sound Novelty-
Alvina Hammel, office force; Don Che].
gren, mechanic, and Darryl Kvindlog, ware.
houseman.
C. L. Hanford, Tacoma operator and ar-
cade owner, i'n town and as busy as ever,
looking for equipment and parts.
The Industry, and local coin men in par•
ticular, were sorry to hear of the passing
of J. O'Connor of the Royal Amusement
Co. Mr. O'Connor passed away Sunday,
Nov. 5th, after a lingering illness. His ab-
sence will be felt by those who have
known him well for many years and as one
of the officials of the R,oyal Amusement Co.
Jack R. Moore's local office has been
augmented by the addition of a 1941 Ford
Station Wagon. The car, formerly at the
Spokane Branch, is needed more in Seattle
and affords the tops in transportation for
delivery, service and sales trips, according
to Bert Beutler, local manager.
Otis Morehead back at the Twin City
Novelty Company's headquarters in Cen•
tralia, after a sojourn in Alaska.
Earl Stump, who recently purchased the
route of Mickey Hannon in Anacortes,
came in to Seattle on one of his regular
trips. He reports operations doing nicely.
Mickey Hannon, now footloose and fan.
cy free, was seen vacationing in Chicago
and visiting factories.
McNamara Leaves Soundies
CHICAGO- Ralph P. McNamara, assist•
ant treasurer of Soundies Distributing
Corp. of America, has resigned to accept
a position on the West Coast. McNamara
has been with Soundi'es since the early
days of the firm and has served in all
departments. A successor has not been
appointed.

quarters and are now located in
temporary quarters at

in the general plan. Robinson will occupy
the 2301 and 2303 stores and the remaining
stores will be tenanted by other firms ca•
tering to the operators. E. J . Gossett wi ll
continue his shop in the present loca tion,
Milo Herring's refinishing firm will occupy
another store, and the present liquor estab•
lishment will move to the store at the
west end.

Interiors will all be redone and the fin.
ished structure will give every semblance
of a new building. Robinson hopes to move
into his new building shortly after the
first of the year.

pletely redone in stucco with decorated
glass and tile trimming at window bases
and modernistic pillars to lend an air of
distinction to the facade. The corner store
will be ornamented wi th stacked pillars to
blend in with the moderne idea prevailing
