Because of the great success of Mills Cherry Bell , Watling featured ~he rri es on his
"Rol- A- Top" s hown above . Then, in addition, because O. D. Jennings so str ong emphasized
his triple jackpot , Johnny Watling renamed this slot, " New Diamond Bell" and added a
large center jackpot to the re~ular Twin Jack Pot of the Rol- A-Top . In fact , the words,
"Twin Jack Pot", can be seen above painted over . This machine , too , entered into the
new decade as one of Watling ' s top sellers . Watling Manufacturing Co ., Chicago, was
one of the very first coinfactories to plunge into all out war production.
