DETROIT LAUNCHES
BOND C A M P A IG N
One of the first operators’ as­
sociations to promote the sale of
defense bonds, United Music
Operators, Detroit, launched an
intensive campaign Labor Day.
First action in the campaign
was participation in the Detroit
Labor Day parade. Fifteen oper­
ators, dressed like Uncle Sam,
rode on a float, while an esti­
mated 100 operators' cars and
six sound cars streamed along
behind with banners and music.
Theme song was Barry Wood’s
recording, “ Any Bonds Today?”
Future bond-plugging plans
include placing streamers and
stickers in 4,000 Detroit loca­
tions having music machines,
newspaper stories, radio pro­
grams, and cooperation with
federal, state, and civic officials.
An important objective of the
whole campaign will be to show
the public how vital music ma­
chines are in the emergency.
The United Music Operators
appropriated $1,200 of associa­
tion funds for the campaign.
