Dear Sir:
Do you have a coin-operated device for
vending liquids or semi-solid liquids like
soup with thick chunks in it, from the bulk
container. I want one that permits some-
thing thicker than water to go through
the valve .

bulk vendor that will vend soup-with

FOR
MARCH

Portland, Ore.
Dear Paul:
Enclosed is my check for $2.00 for a
three year renewal of my subscri ption.
Since our Packard plant released us
three years ago, I have been in the Swan
Island champion tanker yard, here in Port-
land. THE REVIEW, which I have read
faithfully since my affiliation with this busi-
ness, has been a strong connection link for
me in these days when I am temporarily
away from the business. I can truly say
that it is a well written publication, which
combines the home town paper atmosphere
with the up-to-date trade news that is so
important to us in the coi n machine field.

Somewhere in Iceland.
Gentlemen:
lust a line to say hello again from Ice-
land. I am still around and full of ideas
and plans for the expansion of my San
Francisco routes after the war. My wife
. is still carryi ng on the music route and, if
I do say so, doing better than I did when
I was home.
It's plenty cold up here but the cold
seems to preserve my post-war plans, al-
though I am sort of getting preserved (in
a frozen way) alon g with my plans.
I have been getting THE REVIEW regu-
larly and my enthusiasm for the possibil-
ities in the vending and amusement field
is being taken on by several of my buddies
who plan invading the field after the war.
Quite a few men have the urge to go into
business for themselves after the war. I
have tried to conscientiously point out the
opportunities for success in the vending
field, and their con tinual examination of
THE REVIEW has started fires of desires to
enter our industry after the war.
So you can see that, although we are
many thousands of miles from home at the
present time, the fever of operating is still
with us and we are anxious to get going
again.
Back home I have found that most of my
locations, and the Association of Music
Operators, have cooperated splendidly with
my wife in helping maintain our operations
just as though I were there. To a soldier
serving overseas, it's a mighty helpful boost
in morale to know he can co unt on his
business awaiting him upon his return in
as good a condition as when he left it.
We are still carrying on the same busi-
ness and managing to keep on the credit
side although it has been a struggle. We
are looking for lines for after the war for
distribution over here, as we believe there
will be a big demand for same.

Los Angeles
Dear Mr. Blackford:
Some time ago the writer informed you
that all of the Wired Music Operators of
Los Angeles had formed an association
called the Southern California Wired Music
Association. We are interested in con tact-
ing every wired music operator in Southern
California as we would .like to enlarge the
scope of this organization. It is for the
mutual benefit of all in this particular type
of business. The Association is a non-profit
organization and the dues are extremely
small.
If you will publish this letter and en-
courage operators south of the Tehachapi
Range to get in touch with us it will be
appreciated.
Wm. H. Boulll, Chairman
(ED ITOR'S NOTE: We are happy tOi
publish this letter and encourage wired
music operators to communicate with Mr.
Boullt at 433 South Spring Street, Los An-
geles 13, California. The Association is
serving a worthwhile purpose {md warrants
the consideration of every wired music
operator in Southern California.)

Dear Sir:
Islington, England
It is such a long time since I have written
to you and many things have happened in
th at time. You may notice that we are in
new premises and up to th e present am
glad to say that we have our roof and a
few windows left .
LOS ANGELES-Indicative of what will
eventually happen all over the nation if
coin-operated machines continue to exhibit
obscene films, is the action of the Police
Commission banning "peep shows" of any
kind from all penny arcades in the city.
Action was occasioned by a vociferous
protest of a citizens' committee and the
allegation was made that "peep shows
operated by a coin in the slot reveafed
illustrations that might affect the morals
of both minors and adults."
It was pointed out that Police Commis-
sion rules forbid the showing of any im-
moral illustrations, but because of the well
founded objections, all peep shows were
forbidden herewith.
.
No objection was ever entertained on
coi n-operated movie devices but in recent
months operators greedy for easy coin have
perverted the units and used questionable
films.
Phono. in Role of Cupid
OKLAHOMA-In an amusement spot,
some weeks ago, a Marine and a girl,
strangers to each other, met in front of a
phonograph and argued over who should
drop the coin first. That settled, they pro-
ceeded to fall in love. He was leaving soon
so they decided to get married. "What bet-
ter place than where we first met?" they
said. And so they took the vows right in
front of that same music box. She wore the
same slacks and white waist she'd worn
that fatal day. The ceremony was per-
formed while discs played tunes appropriate
to the occasion, including Bing's Ave Maria
and We Cotta Be Free-the Eagle and Me.
