TO SERVE EVERY STATE
Arthur DuGrenier, Inc., man­
ufacturers of the nationally fa­
mous Champion cigarette ven­
dors and the Candy Man 5c can­
dy bar machine, has expanded
its sales force and distributing
outlets throughout the country
to assure every operator of effi­
cient attention and prompt de­
liveries.
Burnhart “Bip” Glassgold,
vice president in charge of
sales, has devoted the greater
part of his efforts since joining
DuGrenier, flying to every sec­
tion of the country to coordinate
the activities of the various dis­
tributors and representatives.
“The DuGrenier Champion
and Candy Man have been ac­
cepted by operators from Coast
to Coast,” stated Mr. Glassgold,
“and, it is our foremost en­
deavor to establish centralized
distributing points so that an
operator can obtain his equip­
ment on spot delivery. Our or­
ganization has always had the
imputation for prompt service
and we are trying to better this
service for the benefit of the
operator as well as ourselves.”

BALLY CONSOLE
SALES INCREASE
“ Operators are getting ready
for one of the biggest summer
seasons in years,” says George
Jenkins, general sales manager
of Bally Mfg. Co. “That state­
ment is based on the marked
increase in sales of Bally con­
soles in the past few weeks.
“ ‘Headline headaches’ are
creating a boom demand for
fun and relaxation. According
to our surveys, resorts, beaches,
tourist camps, road-side grills,
night clubs and other fun-spots
are preparing for the biggest
summer in years. And, judging
by the way orders for Bally
consoles — typical ‘play-days’
machines— are coming in, op­
erators are also getting ready
for big business.”

KELLY APPOINTS “VET”
TO JENNINGS’ STAFF
Carroll E. Vetterick is now
a member of the Jennings or­
ganization, Leo J. Kelly, Vice­
President of O. D. Jennings &
Co., announced recently.
“Vetterick brings alm ost
fifteen years of varied coin ma­
chine experience to the firm,”
Kelly stated, “and an extensive
following of friends. For many
years, he m anaged a well-
known trade publication and
his other experience includes
two years of actual operating,
in addition to sales promotion­
al work with two other manu­
facturers. In terms of experi­
ence, ability and personality,
Vetterick fits perfectly into the
Jennings picture.”
“I have admired Mr. O. D.
Jennings since the day I met
him back in 1927,” Vetterick
said when interviewed, “and
have regarded him as one of
the industry’s most inspired
leaders. I share Mr. Jennings’
enthusiasm and confidence in
the future for coin operated
machines. As for the current
Jennings line, every model is
designed for today’s require­
ment. Any operator who doubts
that the good old days are
with us again, simply has not
investigated the newest Jen­
nings money-makers.”
“GOBS” OF FAREWELLS
The P h o to m a tic machine,
wonder of International Muto­
scope Reel Co., is playing a
star role in scenes all over the
country. Sailors and soldiers,
leaving for station or camp,
find Photomatic machines con­
venient for those last minute
“something-to -remember-me-
by.” Photomatic automatically
takes and frames and delivers
personal photos in one minute.
Operators the world over call
it one of the finest investments
for all-year-round earnings.
