and restaurants.

Bert Beutler, who left Jack R. Moore Co.
five months ago to serve as local manager
for M. S. Wolf, has returned to Moore,
again as manager. With him from Wolf,
where she was his secretary, came Daphne
Little. Gardy Goss, manager while Bert
was away, takes over the post of service
engineer. Gardy, with the Missus, are just
back from a trip to Alaska, reward for the
Seattle branch topping all Moore offices in
August sales. Bert celebrated his new ap-
pointment with a trip to Victoria and Van-
couver, B. C., calling on A. H. Pease of
the Automatic Vending Machine Co.,
Victoria, and the following Vancouver ac-
counts: Earl Beresford, Roxy Automatic
Music; George Ellis, Teletone Co.; and
the Phonomatic Amusement Co. A second
week-end saw him visiting J ack R. Moore
in Portland.
Beutler has been getting a steady flow
of Seeburg phonographs and expects a
lifting of the q uota in Novemher. With the
shipping strike tying up the waterfront,
Seeburgs have taken to the air to reach
Alaska.
Dick Robinson of Moore's Seattle office
has been transferred to Spokane, where he
will assist Manager Ralph P erin.
Another new piece of equipment that is
finding a ready market is the junior changer
that Ron Pepple of Northwest Sales Co.
has just begun to advertise. With two
slots for nickels, it is designed particularly
for tavern use. Ron's larger changer, with
slots for nickels, dimes, quarters and 50-
cent pieces, also continues in demand, with
deliveries to every state of the union.
Good news at Puget Sound Novelty is
the return of George Schnabel to a daily
working chedule, after months of ill
health. New men in the shop include
Barney Kerr, formerly a Navy Yard in-
spec tor at Bremerton, and Claude T. Allen,
a Missourian just out of the Navy. Gone is

Montgomery, who has entered the Marines'
aviation corp .
New- at the M. S. Wolf shop is Clyde
Dixon, formerly of Puget Sound Novelty.
In the office, Mrs. Florence Cowan replaces
Mrs. Vera Jones.
After months of secrecy, something new
has emerged from the Puget Sound Novelty
shop. Called the Red Dot Special, re-
vamped from other games, it is meeting
with a good response from the operators
as it adds the game-of-chance appeal to a
skill game. Also in demand is the ABT
Manufacturing Co.'s Challenger, a penny
counter game.
Dave Martin and Earl Everett of Duro-
matic, Inc., had no sooner returned from
