\ T the annual state meeting of the
Minnesota Amusement Games As­
sociation, Inc., held at the Midwest
Athletic Club, Jack Nelson, Vice­
President and General Sales Manager
of the Rock-Ola Manufacturing Corp.
in Chicago addressed a large group
of operators assembled. He devel­
oped the theme of operator-cooper-
ation in their business and in their
association work for the greatest good
of all. He complimented the associ­
ation upon their unusual strength of
membership—drawing operators from
all over the vast state and he re­
marked upon the progressive pro­
gram which the association is carry­
ing through.
Said Mr. Nelson: “You usually
know when there’s a good organiza­
tion in a territory, because operating
conditions are nearly always better.
The operator feels that, with a
smooth, functioning association, the
purpose of each is nearly identical
and working in complete harmony
with each other, all are able to ad­
vance the coin machine business as a
whole.”
Mr. Nelson drew a striking com­
parison: “You’d think it funny if
you went to a Minnesota football
game next Saturday and the line men
folded up and left the responsibility

Superior makes another spectacular ad­
dition to its line of great football boards
with this colorful 2300 grid board.
LUCKY KICK is a cinch to be popular
with grid fans all over the country, for
it has all the appeal of the game itself.
Even the tickets in the jackpot carry out
the football theme, for they are printed
with the names of football plays such as
TOUCHDOWN, FIELD GOAL, SAFE­
TY, etc. Awards to players graduate
from a $25 peak.

of winning that game to the back-
field. It’s the same with the oper­
ators. The executives of an associ­
ation cannot carry on alone—it takes
the whole “team.” It requires all
the operators’ co-operation, good will
and application to business.”
Later in commenting upon the or­
ganization, Mr. Nelson said: “The
Minnesota organization might well be
held up as a model association. Men
from all over the state—200 to 500
miles away come regularly to the
monthly meetings. It is said that
when operator-problems are intro­
duced at a meeting, the men discuss
them freely—thresh the whole thing
out and then solve them to the mutual
advantage of all.
“Tom Crosby of Faribault and H.
B. Hunter of Aitken who are very
active in the association work admit
that they have set up pretty high
standards for the group and have
started many new innovations to as­
sist the operators. One idea they
are working on is the setting up of
an employment agency which will
carry listings of available route men
and mechanics.
This service, the
members think, will make it easier for
such men to find employment and at
the same time help the operators to
locate experienced and dependable
help in a hurry,” said Mr. Nelson.
