BADGER PAYS BONUS!
For a Christmas present, Badger
Sales Company paid each one of
their employes, old and new, a
bonus according to their length of
service with them. We think this
was a swell gesture on the part of
Badger and it must have spread a
lot of good cheer. They are settled
_in their new building now and they
are · having a grand opening on
January 15th. They invite every-
one to come in and get in on the
big celebration.
It looks as if Mills Sales Com-
pany "locked the barn after the
horse was gone" ! Shortly after
someone broke into their new of-
fices on Pico Boulevard, men were
seen busily installing a burglar
alarm system.
Lee Webb has turned over his
searchlight business to his capable
help and has become active in the
coin operated business again.
That's go_od news, Lee, and lots of
luck to y6.u.
Ray Powers left December 22nd
to go to Sacramento and San Fran-
cisco to spend the holidays with
his folks.
Danny Jackson and Sam Donin
of Automatic Games were sure
happy when they won a favorable
decision from the court and re-
gained their equipment that was
on the gambling ship "Lux."
Allen Brown of Nickabob Com-
pany got cheated out of a present
because his birthday falls on
Christmas Day. Too bad, Allen !

Most anw- .day· you can see Bert
Leball shopping· :along Pico Boule-
vard for bargains. By the way, he
always finds them too!
Vally Venders changed some of
their machines to 10c, 3 for a
quarter, but they are now having
to change them back to 5c as the
locatiohs didn't like it.
