"Get your keys and hurry down
to Jeannet's Arcade; they're waiting
for you," replies the caller.
Sensing trouble, Dick climbs into
the old bre.e ches, makes a mad rush
for the arcade arriving there with
shirt-tail sticking out and all out
of breath;-and what does he find?
There in front of one of his ten
cent Jack Pot machines was one of
the town yokels and wise guys, sit-
ting on a chair with his finger and
. hand stuck in the Jack Pot vent.
The more he wiggled the tighter it
would hold, and incidently the more
foolish looking he became.
Mora l : "Don't stick your finger
in ever y hole you see."

WAL, TAN MY HIDE
It was after the usual hard days'
grind that Dick Leighton, the big
Oregon Coast operator, settled him-
self down to -sleep for the night.
About one .A. M. his peaceful slum-
ber was - rudely disturbed by a
pounding on his front door.
"What the h--", pipes Dick.
"Hurry up", says the man at the
door, "He's caught and can't move."
"Who's caught; why, how and
what the devil is all this about",
answers Dick, pushing aside the

AI Stein and Florida
A long letter from our good friend
AI Stein, who is now distributing
machines from his attractive head-
quarters at 1356 N . E. First avenue,
Miami, Fla., is "jam" full of joy .
Everyone remembers AI.
When
once you see that happy smile you' ll
never forget it. It used to be Peo
and Stein. However, AI decided to
t r y his hand down F lorida way and
now he's, stuck good a n d proper. Get
a load of AI's own words in the mat-
ter.
"Haven't seen a copy of the
WO'RLD in so long I have completely
lost out on what's going on in the
coin machine world. Have be·e n down
here in Florida since last falI and
got so much sand in my shoes that
it's hard to pick them up and get
out. Sort 0' gone native."

And that's the way Al puts it up
to us that he's solid for Florida and
we can't blame him. W·e have bun-
dled up a bunch of AUTOMATI C
WORLDS and sent them to him and
trust that he reads them and turn
himself from darkness to light. Al-
ways glad to hear from Mr. Stein,
you bet. He's a real coin machine
man and knows the game from a lI
angles and then some. Operators in
the Florida section should get in
touch with him.

New York and Brooklyn
Becoming Coin Ma-
chine Center
Hats off to New York City and
Brooklyn, N. Y.
These two ou t-
standing neighboring
cities are
swiftly rising to the, distinction of
being the center of coin mach ine
activities of the world. New firms
that are reliable are springing up
every day, firms that stay and be-
come firmly grounded. There has
been less failures in the industry
around these cities than anywhere
else in America during the past few
hard years. Many of these eastern
firms have expanded and gone for-
ward at a rapid rate and have been
a real asset to operators all over
America.
This paper predicts an outstanding
growth and advancement in the coin
machine i ndustry, among t he eastern
members during the next f.ew years
that will amaze the world.
