C. A. Robinson is planning a trip to
Chicago early in December. Leaving there,
he will go on to Milwaukee, where the
sensational new Shine-A-Minit coin-oper-
ated shoe shine machine will be unveiled.
Robinson will return to LA before Christ-
mas, then depart aga in late in January for
the Coin Machin e Show. Robinson, inci-
dentally, reserved eight rooms at Chicago's
Bismark Hotel for the show. If that's in-
dicative of interest throughout the country,
the show ~hould be a record breaker.
William "Bud" Parr is back on the Row
after a three-week trip through the East,
including stops at Minneapolis, Cleveland,
Pittsburg, Chicago, and New York. Parr
covered 8,000 miles visiting Solotone dis-
tributors and investigating better methods
of operating Solotone units. Considerable
time also was passed in discussing several
new models which Solotone distributors
expect to announce in the near future. A
number of distributors are ordering the

Leon "Hi Ho" Silver, spectacular San

Oakland operator-jobber, dropped in at

VIEW on a recent business trip to Los An•
geles. Silver's means of transportation
caused considerable comment hereabouts,
for he drove down to the Southland at a
steady 50-mile•an-hour clip in a shiny 1920
White truck that he had just purchased
from The White House, well-known Bay
City department store. Truck was one of
a fleet operated by the store for deliveries.
Even in these days, when most of us are
driving pre-war gasoline buggies and new
cars are still very definitely "in our future,"
it was something to see when Silver and
¢OIH
Jones climbed out of their White truck,

brushed off the leather seats and flicked

business is a smart stunt. People will soon

Salt Lake City
Pin ball sportsmen of Salt Lake City,
deprived of their sport since July 1st,
when the city ordered the questioned
amusement devices to cease operation, got
the go ahead signal that they may resume
play, from city commissioners this month
but were warned that they must play only
for fun.
It is disclosed that upon recommendation
of Mayor Earl J. Glade the commission
adopted a policy for the remainder of the
year to issue licenses for marble games,
but to deal seriously with any gambling
in the use of the games.
In asking comm1ss1oners to reissue
marble game licenses, Mayor Glade wrote:
"It is our judgment that these licenses
should be issued and that anyone permit-
ting the use of said device or using the
same for gambling in any form or to any
extent the license will be promptly re-
voked, the device confiscated and the parti-
cipant prosecuted."
. In the marble game controversy the
commission refused to issue any new
licenses which became due on the semi-

annual plan on July 1st, it is stated, thus
stopping operation of the machines; how-
ever as Rudy Vogt of the R. F. Vogt Dis-
tributing Corp. put it, the city commission
has issued licenses for pin ball games,
after they have been closed for 60 days.
Ken Dart, branch manager for Wolf
Sales Co., distributor for Wurlitzer, reports
that they are getting in more and better
equipment now and will have wall boxes
and speakers right away. All of the Wur-
litzer operators are reporting very satis-
factory results from the new Wurlitzer,
according to Dart, who will leave on a
trip to Idaho and Nevada soon-having
recently covered the Wyoming territory.
R. L. Holt, manager of the Rainbow Dis-
tributing Co., now in their beautiful new
quarters, reports that C. D. Kemp, regional
sales manager and W. E. Simmons, district
sales manager, were both visiting Salt
Lake City and bringing the glad tidings
that the new Floor Model Packard will be
here about the 28th of October.
Dan Renaga, operator from Pocatello, is
spending some time in Salt Lake City,
according to Holt, doing some business
and buying.
Warren I. King, in charge of the
cigarette vending machine department at
the Hemenway and Moser Co., attended the
NAMA convention. Elmo Lance, service
man for King, has been home over 6 weeks
due to an operation in a local hospital, and
will be returning next week, nicely re-
covered.
A few pieces of equipment have come
in of late, according to King, and he hopes
that shortages are alleviated very soon.
Fred Murphy, retail stores supervisor
for Hemenway and Moser, is making his
regulation trek throughout Idaho at this
time.
C. M. McMurdie, assistant manager to
R. F. Jones of Jones Distributing Co., re•
ports that they are still having to endure
the shortage of equipment to a marked
degree. Service manager Lisenbee, was
on the road in New Mexico for a couple
of weeks recently, assisting operators with
service problems.
Joe Kamys, field service sales engineer
for J. P. Seeburg Corp., is here and R. F.
Jones Co. is contacting all operators in an
effort to assist them with their service
problems. Frank Ritchie, a salesman out
of the Salt Lake office, is going over to
Denver to assist W. H. Erskine, who is
Denver manager for the corporation.
Tom Douglas, manager of the Yellow-
stone Specialty Co., is just back from
Idaho and Wyoming, where he finds busi
ness conditions good.
