Exhibit Strikes
Oilless Gusher
The Exhibit Supply has not ac­
tually struck oil, of course, but with
the announcement of “Gusher,” their
new skill novelty 5-ball game, the im­
portant talk around the Exhibit Plant
is “Gusher.”
The oil field theme is carried out
in a beautiful manner on the large
playing field of this new novelty
game. Player shoots his first ball
through an oil well. The first ball
through, lights up the odds on the
back panel. These odds vary from 10
cents to $1.50. After the ball sets up
the odds, it continues to travel the
balance of the board, finally landing
in a colored pocket. With four addi­
tional balls to shoot, player has only
to get any two balls in identical
pockets to win. When he obtains a

Ray’s Track Given
“$100.00 Test”
Step into the Ray’s Track depart­
ment at the Bally Manufacturing
Company factory, and you will see
dozens of machines all busily operat­
ing by themselves, with the electric
coin-chute going in and out as if by
magic, and the nine horses galloping
up the track and back in a never-end­
ing “inspection sweepstake.”
These machines, according to Ray
Moloney, president of Bally, are be­
ing given the ‘$ 100.00 test” prior to
being shipped. “Each and every
Ray’s Track,” says Ray, for whom
the game was named, “is automatic­
ally operated the equivalent of $ 100.00
worth of nickel play, There is noth­
ing on the machine that can wear
out, so the test does not in any way
effect it. But it will reveal any pai-ts
which may not have been perfectly
adjusted, and enable us to correct it
before the game is shipped. After
each machine is run 2,000 times, it is
again thoroughly inspected, re-lubri­
cated and ready to go out and bring
home the bacon for the many opera­
tors who are placing Ray’s Track in
all parts of the country.

“Races’- Two Years,
Gets 2nd W ind
p A C E ’S “RACES” are celebrating
their second anniversary and ac­
cording to H. L. Baker, vice-presi­
dent of Paces Races, Inc., sales for
the first six months of 1936 have
reached a new peak. From all appear­
ances 1936 will be the banner year.
A s hipm e nt of 50
custom er who has
Paces Races fo r a
500 now operating.
Mr. Baker stated that “The sales of
Pace’s ‘Races’ have even surprised
us as they have far surpassed our
expectations. When we started to
design this machine, we estimated
that 1500 to 2000 machines would be
the maximum that we could sell, but
to date 4000 ‘Races’ have been manu­
factured and sold and no letup in
sight.”
Pace’s “Races” apparently have
earned a definite place in the operat­
ing field. There has not been one
instance reported, according to Mr.
Baker, where an operator was forced
to remove a “Races” from a loca­
tion due to poor receipts, The sales
of “Races” prove that operators are
willing to pay the price for equip­
ment when they know their invest­
ment will bring good returns.
One big reason for the outstand­
ing sales record of Pace’s “Races”
is attributed to the unique sales pro­
gram mapped out and adhered to by
E. W. Pace, president and sales man­
ager. To a great extent distributors
and operators have been benefited by
this program and it has reduced com­
petition in their territories to a
minimum.
The factory is purchasing addi­
tional machinery and acquiring more
floor space to accommodate the in­
creased demand for the machine.
About 600 servicemen have been
trained by Paces Races school, and
these men are scattered throughout
the civilized world.
