Letters to the Editor
Dear Sir;
I noticed in your Dec. issue under "States Having Legalized An
tique Slot Machines" section, you have the state of Mississippi
shown to be legal. I have not heard of this before and seeing Mis
sissippi is at my back door, this would be good news? A little
more information would be appreciated in reference to dates, etc.
Thank You.

Dear Keith;
According to Mississippi State Law, Criminal Statutes 97-33-7,
it is illegal to own or operate a slot machine for profit. Test legal
cases have established the private right to own slot machines pro
vided they are for display or amusement only. Test cases were
judicial decisions of King versus McClory, 179M162, 175 Fo 193
and State versus Stigler, 179M276, 175 Fo 194.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
To
all
collectors/producers of reprints, reproduction
parts,
books, catalogs, reel strips, award cards, etc.!
* We want to help you increase your sales & profits dramatically
while eliminating many of your problems simultaneously.
* We have a business proposition to make to you.
Please read on:
We at the Coin Slot are starting a mail order department to
service collectors of slots, jukeboxes, pinballs, arcade games, etc.
with ALL the miscellaneous items they need for restoring machines
and increasing their knowledge,
We know that our advertising
power can sell greater quantities of any reproduced product than
you can do on your own. We also know that the more items you
have in your inventory, the greater the sales. Many collectors
buy small items on "Impulse". If they see it in the Coin Slot
mail order department they might add several small items to their
order to us — but they would never write you a letter and a check
for this small item. We want to be distributing as many different
items as possible, and we need your help.
Many collectors have reproduced one or two items, and have
never bothered to sell them. We know you do not have the mailing
facilities, and a small order would be more bother to you than the
price you got for the items. We plan on eliminating your problems,
and letting you get a good return on the items you have produced.
We will have two plans for handling your items, and you can
choose which you want.
Plan-A COIN SLOT Mail Order Department handles every
thing. You furnish us an inventory of the item you have produced,
and we will get the orders, and handle the mailing to the customer.
We will keep good records, and every 3 months will balance our
sales, and send you a check for what is due you. On this plan,
we mutually establish a selling price, and COIN SLOT gets 50%
of the selling price, and you get 50%.
