Rabkin Receives
Merited Recognition
A recent issue of the Literary Di­
gest devoted considerable space to an
article about the history of William
(Bill) Rabkin and the products which
he has developed through the Inter­
national Mutoscope Company. The ar­
ticle is also significant in that it
July, 1937
grants recognition to the coin ma­
chine industry as the parent of the
motion picture industry.
The International Mutoscope Com­
pany does an international business
with their Bowl-a-Game, Pokerino,
Test-o-Graph,
Photomatic,
Hurdle-
Hop, Magic Finger and Punch-a-Bay.
Bill Rabkin has become famous as
the man who originated the digger
game.

Rabkin is constantly developing
new coin operated amusement devices.
His latest development is a coin op­
erated emotion meter. This machine
is set to gauge the emotional strength

When the coin is dropped in
the slot, a light flashes on a light up
board, which is graduated to show the
various emotional depths of a human
being.
If the patron is not satisfied
with the emotional degree registered,
they may play more coins and en­
deavor to raise their emotional status.

A knowledge of practical psychol­
ogy is one of Rabkin’s chief assets.
He has learned that men will patron­
