Little Rock, Ark. — Chancellor
Frank H. Dodge in Pulaski chancery
court recently signed an order author
izing E arl R. Wiseman, state revenue
commissioner, to seize and destroy
mechanical vending machines owned
by ten persons who have failed to pay
the state tax required for such de
vices which include miniature pool ta
ble.
The action was taken in a suit filed
by Joe H. Thompson and others in
1931 against David A. Gates, then
state revenue commissioner, seeking
to restrain him from collecting the
tax levied by the state legislature. A
temporary injunction was issued re
straining collection of the tax but
was not to be effective until the
plaintiffs had posted a bond of $500
in court.
The order recited that the bond
never was filed and the seizure order
was issued on the application of Mr.
Bill to Legalize
Machines Fails

Oklahoma City, Okla.— W ar on
operators of marble games and vend
ing machines who transfer city li
censes from one machine to another

chine was declared by H. L. Salley,
city license inspector.

machine after it had been inspected,
and transferred it to another which

Oriole Starts Branch
Expansion
Oriole Coin Machine Corporation,
Baltimore,
M aryland,
have
just
opened their first branch at W ash
ington, D. C. They state that this
branch is absolutely owned and con
trolled by the firm and that it will be
under capable, experienced supervi
sion, and will also have a complete
stock of all the latest machines as
well as a most complete repair de
partment.
This is the first branch office in the
proposed expansion program of the
company and by the end of this year
the firm expects to have branches
throughout the South and possibly as
fa r north as they have customers on
their list. Oriole have been doing a
national business with operators for
sometime and have gained a fine repu
tation for their business methods.
E. V. Ross of the firm states that
it is his belief the operators today re
quire offices close to them and that
they therefore believe they are meet
ing this new demand and will better
be able to service all of their clients
in the Washington district and the
territory adjacent to this district.
Oriole also publish an interesting
price list which makes its appearance
this month and they state that as
they further expand their branches
they will prepare an elaborate news
sheet to cover throughout all their
branches the various operators in the
different parts of the country.
Oriole Coin Machine Corporation
are exclusive distributors for many
manufacturers in the industry. They
have found that the operator today
requires faster service, hence the
branches which are being set up on
their expansion program.
