Boston, Massachusetts
Cy and Jack Jacobs are operat­
ing- under the name of Jacobs
Novelty Company. These two
boys, formerly in the newspaper
business, are making headway in
getting new locations through
their former connections. They
are a couple of live wires and, no
doubt, will make themselves
known in the operating business.
Ik e : Experience is a great
teacher.
M ike: I would much prefer the
bank roll I exchanged for mine
Phil Swartz and the Missus
have just celebrated their first
wedding anniversary by holding
a large dinner party at their home
which was a t t e n d e d by their
many friends and relatives. Con-
g r a t u 1 a t i o n s , Mr. and Mrs.
Swartz, and may you celebrate
many more anniversaries to­
gether.

John: I gave my girl a ring for
her birthday.
Jack: Is that so?
John: Yes, she is a telephone
operator.
Sam Rosenblatt has just re­
turned from a ten-day trip to At­
lantic City where he spent his
honeymoon. The business was
well taken care of by his partner,
Dave Segal. Dave is sporting
around in a brand new Ford, se­
dan. It looks as though prosper­
ity is back again.
Sam: W hy is it that a girl al­
ways closes her eyes when a fel­
low kisses her?
T o m : She has just told him lie
is the first one and is ashamed to
look him in the face.
Irwin Pillman, one of the large
operators' upstate, has just re­
turned from a fox hunting trip
where he bagged several red
foxes. Irwin is a very enthusias­
tic hunter and would rather go
fox hunting 4han eat. Where is
that red fox skin you promised
my secretary, Irwin?
Many merchandising machine
operators have been complaining
about finding solid slugs in their
machines. This is a very serious
matter as it means a loss on
every piece of merchandise sold
through the machines. W e under­
stand that this condition is due to
the fact that someone in New
York City, who has not been
using the bean, is offering the
solid slugs for sale to anyone who
will buy them. The New York
Jobbers’ Association should in­
vestigate this immediately as we
hear that it is one of their mem­
bers who is doing this. It is bad
enough for the operators to find
homemade slugs in their ma­
chines, so why manufacture them
to add to the operators’ troubles?
Many of the larger type pin
games are making their appear­
ance in the lobbies of some of the
leading theaters in Boston. This
should be good advertising for the
pin game and should educate the
public that it is a good clean
form of amusement.
Friend: You don’t seem enthu­
siastic about elevating the stage.
Theatrical Manager: The more
we try to elevate the stage, the
more depressed the box office
seems to become.

Congratulations to those who
have given their earnest efforts
and co-operation in organizing an
association here in Boston! W e
have attempted in the past to
make an organiaztion, but have
not been successful. Today it is
very imperative that the opera­
tors organize so that they may be
protected f r o m any misunder­
standing or difficulty in operat­
ing pin games.
