Rene Godin, publisher of the La
Revue De L’Automatique, the French
coin machine publication, plans to
attend the National Association of
Coin Machine Manufacturers’ Con­
vention to be held December 12 to
15, inclusive, at the Stevens Hotel.
This will be Mr. Godin’s third visit to
the American coin machine shows.
He attended in 1936 and 1937, and
has enjoyed being at the past shows.
Mr. Godin has hinted that he will
try to have a special French booth
at the December show. He has asked
A utomatic A ge to inform coin ma­
chine manufacturers and agents that
he will be glad to furnish informa­
tion regarding the French or Euro­
pean coin machine industry. He may
be reached at the Stevens Hotel dur­
ing the week of the coin machine
show.

British Subjects Play
300,000 Games
The amusement arcade is one of the
leading businesses in the cities of the
United Kingdom, according to a re­
port from the office of the American
Commercial Attache at London to
the Department of Commerce.
About six years ago “pin tables”,
which were developed from the simple
game of mechanical bagatelle, be­
came popular. At present the newest

tables are amazingly complicated and
a popular machine may become obso­
lete within a few months. Numerous
coin-operated amusement machines
are being installed on piers at sea­
side resorts, in cafes, and other pub­
lic places, the report stated.
It is estimated by the Amusement
Caterers’ Association that there are
now about 300,000 of these machines
throughout the country with compli­
cated mechanisms, batteries, switch­
boards,and converters, according to
the report.
“Servail” Cloth Has
Multiple Use
A unique polishing cloth has made
its appearance in England. Called
“Servall,” this cloth, without the aid
of a sponge, leather, water or polish,
will clean and polish any article
having a glossy surface. No trace of
film remains on glass after Servall
has left it. The cloth cleans and
polishes any glass, metal (chrome in­
cluded), and wood surface, provided
it is smooth. Some of these cloths
have been reported to be in use for
as many as eighteen months. An odd
feature of this cloth is that it must
never be washed, even though it may
look dirty. The cloth can also be
used in cleaning up swag.
Hubby—What do you mean, you
live a hand-to-mouth existence?
Wifey—Your kisses make me yawn.
