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.
NEW LOCATION
We have moved from our farmer
quarters and are now located in
temporary quarters at
1913 WEST PICO BLVD.
until our new shop is ready for
occupancy. We are fully equipped
and able to refinish your equipment.

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.
C. A. ROBINSON
Robinson Buys Building
LOS ANGELES-C. A. Robinson, of C.
A. Robinson & Co., has purchased the
seven store building at the corner of Mag•
nolia and West Pico on the city's Coin
Machine Row and has ordered present ten.
ants to vacate to make way for extensive
remodeling and modernizing.
Exterior of the building will be com-
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

BOXES AND CABLES
Cable has been one of the headaches
since the war as some of th e jobs going in
now have to be installed wi th more than
one make of cable. The Trouble Shooter
believes it would be a good thing to list
the codes of these cables so the service man
can be sure as to which cables are used in
the installation.

The Trouble Shooter has . a'. letter from
J. Edward Smith of Oklahoma City in re-
gards to a circ uit to r edu ce needle scratch
to be applied to the pick up circuit of the
machine. W e have done some research work
on this as the input from the pick up is so
low that when you get enough resistance
a nd induction in the circuit to get any r eso-
nance from a variable condenser you reduce
the output from the pick up so much that
your volumn on the machine is too low. We
will do more research and when we find a
circuit that works OK will inform you of
same.
