Bally “Hawthorne” Is 10-Way
Multiple
ULTIPLE earnings will be big­
ger than ever in 1939”, declared
Ray Moloney, president of Bally Mfg.
Company, as he announced the re­
lease of Bally’s “Hawthorne” 10-way
multiple with double reserve feature.
“New tested money-making fea­
tures,” Ray continued, “have been
built into ‘Hawthorne’ with the re­
sult that ‘Hawthorne’ collections make
the very best ‘Grandstand’ and ‘This­
tledowns’ collections look like papa’s
pocket-book the day before Christmas.
And I don’t mean just because it’s a
10-way job. No, the fact that play­
ers can play up to 10 nickels a game
is not what makes ‘Hawthorne’ such
a high-speed money-maker—it’s the
fact that they will invariably play at
least 5 nickels every game. This is
due to what we call the ‘fifth nickel
insurance’ idea.
“To explain ‘fifth nickel insurance’
it is first necessary to point out that
‘Hawthorne’ has two complete re­
justability, ‘Hawthorne’ can be oper­
ated with or without multiple and
also with or without the reserve; and
adjustments go farther than ever be­
fore.”
serve feature mechanisms, instead of
one— both climbing up, up, up toward
a $50.00 top. This in itself is a pow­
erful repeat play feature—because,
even though one reserve has been hit,
the other reserve is still on th job.
“ A reserve award can be won only
when the feature light is lit. This
lights up at mystery intervals often
enough to stimulate play. But it al­
ways lights up when the fifth nickel
is deposited, and then remains lit un­
til the end of the game. Thus 5
nickels guarantee the player a crack
at both reserves—certainly a real in­
centive to play, at least, 5 nickels. On
test locations ‘fifth nickel’ insurance
has worked out exactly like its name
— insurance that ‘Hawthorne’ will av­
erage approximately twenty-five cents
per game.
“Mechanically, ‘Hawthorne’ is a
job Bally can really brag about.
We’ve given it the works and we know
it’s right. As to flexibility and ad­
Reconditioned Cig
Machines Offered
Brooklyn, N. Y.— Commenting on
the reconditioning cigaret merchan­
dising machines he now has in stock,
Dave Robbins said, “Many locations
for cigaret vending machines are
available where it does not pay the
operator to install one of the new
high-priced machines. However, such
locations would prove extremely prof­
itable if the operator could get a good
low priced cigaret machine.
“Taking this fact into consider­
ation, D. Robbins & Co., Brooklyn, are
offering operators perfectly recondi­
tioned cigaret machines at prices well
worth looking into. These machines
are available in both 15 and 20-cent
models. We guarantee that the ma­
chines look and operate exactly like
new. As only 100 machines are being
offered at this very low price, wise
operators should grab them up quick­
ly.”
