As we go to press we have not had any news on
Mr. Russel's DEWEY, but we feel confident that news is
just around the corner. Remember the serial numbers:
Left side 14,847, Right side 10,977.
We do have some good news. Elmer Cummings
located some of the merchandise which was taken
from his van while parked at the Ramada Inn, I-70 and
Kipling in Lakewood, CO. Elmer spotted the machines
at the show in Houston and was able to get them
returned. We hope that this column will help locate
stolen machines before they reach the open market.

Bill and Larry —
We Apologize
Last month (November), two new authors joined us
and faux paux of all faux pauxs, we neglected to
include a byline. Both Larry Lubliner and Bill Whelan
included their names and addresses or we would really
feel like we were two feet tall and struggling for that!
We sincerely apologize for the lack of bylines. We will
offer no excuse.
We would like to thank both Bill and Larry. We have
already heard some comments on their excellent
articles. When reading articles in our magazine as well
as others, keep in mind that typographical errors can
be made, especially when the staff is assembling a
rather large issue. Forgive us our errors as we forgive
yours.

Model D and Model E Card Vender
. t the heart of every old
penny arcade there was a bank or
series of machines— Model D Card
Venders. Exhibit Supply promoted
the idea that every permanent loca
tion should have at least fifteen of
these machines. The machines
stood 6 feet high and were 20
inches wide and 11 inches deep
and only weighed 75 pounds. They
were finished in natural oak and
were fitted with Exhibit's patented,
nonrustable sliding slots.
The machines were well accepted
arcades because the novelty
seldom wore off. There were fifty-
three different series of cards that
could be installed in the machines.
in
The machines were easily adapted
to the various series of cards by
changing the front sign. The cards
were very often categorized for
either male or female which drew
coins from the men and women
who sought their fortune for
instance. Some of the more popular
styles of cards were fortune telling
cards, bathing girls, movie produc
tion skills, autographed movie star
portraits, art pictures and jokes and
comics.
