CmCAGO--"Coin machine manu-
facturers are emplOying an ever in-
creasing number of well paid work-
ers, not only in their own factories
where it runs from 150 to 600 in
many states of the country, but they
also employ men and women in good-
ly numbers in glass factOries, cabi-
net manufacturing plants, foundries,
brass, aluminum and cast iron worKs,
machine shops, art screen process
work, plating companies and lock
companies," declared Jimmy Johnson,
sole owner of the Western Equipment
and Supply Co.
Johnson, well-known on the Pacific
coast as the former secretary of J .
P . Seeburg Corp., has recently intro-
duced a new automatic payout race
horse machine-Futurity. Asked con-
cerning the new machine Johnson
stated: "It is really a sJ;IlalI race
horse with automatic payoff. It baa
been tried and perfe~and provea
a winner. It pulls and--nrutts--~
player. It's a game that interes1:ii
the player. He wants to play over
and over again and he is amused,
gratified and kept fro mother
thoughts while playing Futurity."
FutUrity odds are ' 2-4, 6-8,
10-16. They change every race. The
player selects his own horse. A se-
lector attachment locks in positiOB
when the race starts. At the coa-
ciusion of the race it is impoSllible
to move the winning horse by j~
ring or tilting and the payoff IS
instant.
"We are ready "for instal1.t deliv-
ery," sald Johnson. "We know Fu-
turity is a success. Those on loca-
tion went one by one and then in
twos and more Until they are now
going out fast and furious."
Johnson's many friends in the west
will be glad to know of the instant
success of Futurity, NegotiatiOlLl
.are now going on for a coast repre-
sentative.
