With its ranks increasing rapidly,
the Phonograph Operators Associa­
tion of Eastern Pennsylvania and
New Jersey has decided to move to
larger quarters in Philadelphia. It
will be located in Rooms 408-409-410
of the Schaff Building, 15th and Race
Streets, after May 1st.
In order to further swell the ranks
of the organization Jack Hammond,
business manager, plans a very ex­
tensive campaign for new members.
The result of this drive will bring
concerted action from all the oper­
ators in getting favorable legislation,
as well as a great saving in volume
buying so that operators may benefit.
Branches have been set up in New­
ark, Central Pennsylvania, and only a
short time ago one was established in
Washington for the Baltimore and
upper Virginia section.

Wm. (Bill) Shayne, head of the

chairman of the Elk’s annual charity
show, held in Bayfront Park recently,
Bill Shayne’s committee was able to
raise $875. This amount will be used
by the organization to further its
good charitable work.

that Mr. Rowlette lost about a
pound of sunburned skin on the
beach, but in all other respects
seems fit as a fiddle to carry on
his daily task with the Popmatic
Manufacturing Company.
Speaking of pounds — it is
rumored that Mr. Rowlette, who
is six feet two inches tall and
weighs 250 pounds, tussled with
a sailfish weighing 168 pounds
in Miami and came out victor­
ious. Some fisherman— and some
fish!
“Oh, look! There’s Gus Pumper­
nickel.”
“You mean Gus Pumper. The poor
guy hasn’t a nickel to his name these
days.”

trip through the southern states
and Cuba.
Several big orders were ob­
tained for delivery of the new
POPMATICS to foreign coun­
tries, in addition to substantial
sales throughout the south,
where a number of new distri­
butors have recently been ap­
pointed.
Combining business with pleas­
ure, Mr. and Mrs. Rowlette made
an extensive tour and came back
from their vacation with the
kind of complexions that you
and I would pay large sums of
money to obtain. It is reported
