so unimportant will become the pur~
chasing ce nter for a thriving factory. So the
wise operator is going to keep thi s trend in
mind, and establish himself just as con~
cretely as possible as the towns come into
their own . Who can say what "tank town"
of today might not become an important
distribu tin g cen ter with dozens and dozens
of profitable locations for coin~controlled
equipment in the very near future.
These facts, and many more, prove why
an operator should not become to.o self·
suffi cient, but should maintain an open
mind at all times and never discard a
prospective location or possible fu ture lo~
cation until he has thorou ghly checked into
the s pot and appli ed the yardstick of sound
thinking and reasoning and given the spo t
a chance to prove its own worth.

CAMDEN, N. J.-Servi cemen have been
vying for honors in th e self~impo se d co n ~
test of thinking up lon g involved titles to
bestow upon their favorite pin~up gi rls.

to Victor's Dinah Shore by the South Pa~
cific Marines. It is : "The Girl We' d Most
Like To Dream Of While In A Coma Re·
sulting From Malaria Con tracted on Guad~
alcanal." That's all, brother!

"But surely you did not t ell him straight
out that you love him?"
"No fear, he had to squeeze it out of me."
