kick out of it. Go out and get some
friends to try it on them. After they
get all the fun out of it they want,
they stop and spend a dime or so.

much fun for a penny or so.”

And my friend has never yet gone
to a bank and asked if they could
use $50 or $100 worth of pennies,
without he hears these words: “ You
bet. Have you any more?"
Again my friend say3 that if at
any town he plays where the street
car fare is 6c or 7c, business is far
better than where it is 5c or 10c. As
people have pennies they don’t want,
so anyone who starts a slot machine
business should stop to think about
this small item. He would not make
a mistake by trying just a small in
vestment in a city where 7c car fare
is charged. My friend of the Omaha
Bee, I could go on for many pages
as to the paltry penny. As for the
slugs, one must smile at them be
