Linden is president, has expanded oper·
ation Lo include the sale of records, appli·
ances, radios and television.
Linden, who formerly had been associ-
ated with th e coin machine distributing
field in New York and nearby coin ma-
chine distributing fields before locating in
Baltimore about three years ago, has taken
cognizance of the trends in the coin ma-
chine business, and has entered the record
producing field. He has made arrange-
ments with the American Federation of
Musicians, and is now having records made
by a well known record manufacturer,
who presses the records, under his own
serial number. He is licensed by the Pet-
rillo (AFM) organization, and has affili-
ated himself with other necessary agencies
for the production and distribution of the
records. These records are sold through
his North Gay street establishment. It is
planned to open several other similar
establishments in this city, and possibly
one in another city.

chips for his concession operations de-
stroyed by fire, and he has found it neces-

to New York and other markets on the
Eastern seaboard, in his search for new
items suitable in his operations.
