Coin Machine Review (& Pacific ...)

Issue: 1945 April

Alississippi
NNfCHEZ-War Mobilizer Byrnes' new
curfew, which recently went into effect, is
meeting with full co-operation through-
out Mississippi'_ The operators of bars and
night spots where coin-operated machines
including audiophones are used, realize
that the new law is a good one and that
it's part of the winning of the war_ The
curfew is not hurting business in Missis-
sippi, where all phonographs are cut off
at midnight, but rather it is helping some
of the establishments and affording em-
ployers and employees more time off_ All
customers now make it a practice to come
early and leave early in cooperation with
the new war regulation.
No violations have been reported thus
far and legitimate operators do not fear
it will lead to speakeasies re-opening. The
regular operators have had a curfew on
in Natchez for some time past and this is
nothing new for them_ However, whether
they like it or not, they realize there's
nothing that can be done about it-and
they also realize that "this is war" and we
must WIN. Those who do not co-operate, it
is understood, will be reported to the
WPB and light and fuel will be withdrawn.
Too, the OP A can cancel all rations and
the WMC can withdraw all employees if
they wish. And so it looks like the curfew
will continue and operators will, as usual,
do' their J?art. '
E. C. -keathley, owner of the Natchez
Music Co., has returned from a business
trip to Cotton Valley and Shreveport. He
recently . placed a number of Panorams
and reports the machines are doing a land
office business. Panorams are novelties here
and are getting a splendid play at all
locations.
News has been received by Mrs. Frank
J. Eidt that her husband is now in a hos-
pital somewhe,re in France. Eidt is with a
medical detachment and recently was
awarded the bronze star for bravery in
action_
Bill Eidt has purchased interests in a
number of additional establishments, all
of which are using his audiophones and
coin-operated machines.
He is aided
in the operation of the new interests by
his brother John, his' brother-in-law Bill
McKinney and his uncle Z. Z. Laird. He
says business is very good.
The many friends of George Long, well
known repair .and service man, are elated
to see him up and out after his recent
illness at his home on the Liberty Road.
Efforts are now underway in Mississippi
to decrease the tax on vending machines.
It will be remembered that this state is
one of the few states in the Union to have
a court test case for .coin machines. Mis-
sissippi has been a coin machine state, al-
ways good for operators. In 1943 the gov-
ernment collected on 3-;114 amusement ma-
chines and on 1,512 gaming devices. How-
ever, there are many counties in the state,
