Daval to Show New
Counter Game
At the convention, Daval Manu­
facturing Company will have ready
a new counter game, which, in mod­
ernistic beauty, it is believed will
surpass their tremendously popular
and successful Penny Pack. This
game has been designed by a leading
firm of industrial designers who be­
lieve that the design which they have
created will outshine the one created
for Penny Park which was given an
award on exhibition.
Mr. A. S. Douglis, president of Da­
val Manufacturing Company, is en­
thusiastic over this counter game and
says that it will even gain a greater
following than did the Penny Pack
which is reputed to have reached the
25,000 sales mark.
From all over the country there is
a demand at this time for a game
which will have the same great at­
traction for the public which the
Penny Pack has. Mr. Douglis is cer­
tain that his new counter game will
accomplish this purpose and become
their greatest counter game.
