Leon "Hi Ho" Silver, spectacular San
Francisco operator-jobber, and Allen Jones,
Oakland operator-jobber, dropped in at
" the home office of THE CoIN MACHINE RE·
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

Jones climbed out of their White truck,

brushed off the leather seats and flicked

dust off the solid brass radiator. "She's in
perfect condition," Silver proudly an-
nounced. He might also have added that
using the car in his operating and jobbing
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-

formerly associated with Packard Superior
Products at Chicago for the Rocky Moun•

In addition, Arnold says he carries a

He said that with his many years of ex•
perience in the business he knew about
what the operators should have and that
he was trying to make a punch board deal
where th e operators can make a good
margin of profit and still give the player
full value received, and showing the mer•
chant a good profit.
The new loca tion has two stories and
full basement. The first Aoor will be de•
voted to music machines and speaker dis•
play. Offices are also on first Aoor. A
special display room for punch boards and
premiums will be on the balcony, and the
