Coin Machine Review (& Pacific ...)

Issue: 1947 January

chines, weighing machines-this show will
have everything. No matter what is upper.
most in your mind to see, it will be on dis-
play along with many other things of one
lQnd and description that you probably are
not yet familiar with."
Gilmore states that CMI has a list of pro-
spective exhibitors who are neither members
nor former exhibitors that were not solicited
because there was no more exhibit space to
offer them. "This is deeply regretted," CMI's
secretary-manager said, "and can only be
rectified by holding the 1948 Coin Machine
Show in a location that can provide room
for ALL who wish to display."
James T. Mangan, director of CMI's Pub-
lic Relations Bureau, declares that "The
Coin Machine Industry hasn't had a ,com-
prehensive look at itself since the Coin
Show of 1941. Everyone has stayed in touch
with everyone else through personal visits,
letters, advertising, and the publications of
the Industry. Yet, good as that contact has
been, we all yearn for a good old-fashioned
get-together in the Sherman Hotel, where
under one roof the latest offerings of the
oldest and newest manufacturers, the styles,
features, and attractions of 1947 coin-oper-
ated machines will all be placed together in
one spot in the biggest show Chicago or the
world ever knew.
"For that show is a panorama of the
whole industry; of its manufacturers, dis-
tributors, jobbers, and operators; of its
products, its purposes; of its nature, its hu-
manness, its economic justification."

Coin Machine Show to' be .Biggest,
Liveliest Trade Convention in U. s. A.
By Dave Gottlieb. President
Coin Machine Industries. Inc.
Never has a coin machine show been
more eagerly awaited than the great con-
vention of our Industry in the Hotel Sher-
man, February 3, 4, 5, 6. In the past, we
were always a little uncertain-right up to
a week before opening--on just how big
arid universal the show might be and- we
had space available right up to show time.
This time it is totally different. More
than two months before opening day we
found ourselves entirely sold out of exhi-
bition space. All indications presage an
attendance of at least 12,000 operators.
Our program this time will be more com-
plete than ever before, and every visitor to
Chicago during coin machine week will

gain more profit from his trip than from
any other in the past.
Our last coin machine show was in
- January 1941-six years ago! Six years is
a long time to go without a general exhi-
bition for the trade, but the war forced
postponement of ' all trade association
gatherings. In December of 1941, I wrote
a statement giving reasons why I thought
we should hold a show in 1942-and then
came Pearl Harbor! The show was off and
the Coin Machine Industry, which already
had joined heart and soul with our country
in defense manufacturing, threw itself 100
per cent into war production. We all knew
that in -global war all civilian goods were
out of the question and every single ma-
chine and hand was needed for ,the war
implements that must bring victory.
The record of the Industry in the war is
outstanding. A large number of our fac-
tories received "E" awards and those who
did not receive awards were probably not
eligible because they were doing' subcon-
tracting. The real story of war production
in coin machine factories has never been
told. Because we had the inventors, the
engineers and the modern know-how in
electronics, radio, and tricky electrical
gadgets of every description, some of the
most, delicate problems in detection, com-
munications, timing devices, . and automatic
controls were turned over to our factories.
Most of the work was extremely secret, but
the top men in the Army and Navy have
acknowledged the debt of gratitude they
owe our inventors, developers, and en-
gineers. Their opinion, succinctly stated,
was, "You're the only group that could
have done it so well and so fast."
Though coin machines were not produced
during the war, it doesn't mean the In-
dustry was asleep. Distributors and oper-
ators, too old for the armed forces, did an
exCellent business and in addition, coin
machines did a phenomenal job in furnish-
ing much needed amusement for our sol-
~iers and sailors, not only at home, but
III every remote corner of the world. Morale
officers everywhere insisted on coin ma-
chines for service recreation buildings.
Many of these items were patriotically
