This is why “ Skee Ball” is built of heavy red oak and weighs 522 lbs.— why we refuse to
build a game from light wood that would have a hollow sound and lose much of its play
appeal.
• Yet, because we make our own cabinets— are not obliged to buy them from outside
plants, we can sell a game that will give you years of fine service for no more than what
you would pay for a game built from light wood.
• In building the highest quality of merchandise and selling it at the right price, we are
following the same policy that has proven so successful with the Wurlitzer-Simplex Au­
tomatic Phonograph.
• It is my belief that Wurlitzer policies and methods will make “ Skee Ball” a big, profit­
able business for everybody . . . that Wurlitzer’s “ Skee Ball” is a worthy companion to
the Wurlitzer-Simplex Automatic Phonograph.
• Both were the originals . The Simplex phonograph business was purchased by us from
the Simplex Phonograph Company of Chicago— established in 1930— which company
introduced the first multi-selective type phonograph.
The National Skee Ball company
were the pioneers and the originators of the game called “ Skee Ball” (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.).
• Already orders on hand indicate a tremendous demand for the Wurlitzer “ Skee Ball”
— a demand that promises to tax our production capacity for months to come.
So, to in­
sure deliveries when you want them, let me suggest that you wire, write or phone for full
particulars without delay.
