Geo. Jenkins Is New Bally
Sales Chief
/^ H IC A G O , November 10— Bally dis­
tributors attending a three-day
sales parley at the Bally Mfg. Com­
pany factory were reported enthusias­
tic in their endorsement o f George
Jenkins’ appointment as Bally sales
manager, following the resignation of
Jim Buckley.
George Jenkins, recently appointed
sales manager of Bally Mfg. Com­
pany.
“ Although I introduced George as
the new Bally sales manger,” said
Ray Moloney, president o f the Bally
organization, “ he needs no introduc­
tion to the trade. The boys all know
Jenkins and are confident he will con­
tinue in his new job to give his usual
fine cooperation to the men out on the
front line o f sales.
Responsibility
for the sales of Bally’s new enlarged
line is a big job. But I share the
trade’s confidence in George Jenkins,
and expect the 1939-40 season to be
the biggest in Bally’s history.”
Jenkins’ business career has been
entirely in the field o f sales and sales
promotion. He was form erly secre-
tary-treasurer o f Central Amesite
M fg. Company and vice-president o f
Central West Construction Company,
both prominent in the paving in­
dustry. He joined the Bally organ­
ization in 1935, and has gained a
reputation among coin-machine men
for his ability to combine aggressive
salesmanship with conscientious con­
cern fo r the customer.

Evanston, 111.— Aid. Henry R. Platt,
Jr., called upon Mayor Henry D. Pen-
field to appoint a special committee
o f aldermen to investigate the ad­
visability of establishing parking
meters in Evanston. The m ayor said
he would consider the suggestion.
“ I would suggest that such a com­
mittee be made up o f aldermen whose
business is in Evanston and that, pre-
ferrably, they discuss the proposal
with local business men and with a
committee from the Chamber o f Com­
merce. Let’s get the facts and try
parking meters or reject them,”
Alderman Platt declared, and went
on:
“ Our parking here is more or less
o f a mess and in the western states,
and some eastern states, parking me­
ters have been tried with success.
There is no case where meters were
established on trial that they did not
remain as permanent fixtures.”
