Here we have a view of the display rooms in Advance Automat
Sales Company's main office in San Francisco. Lou Wolcher,
the far right in this photo, is rightfully proud of wide terri
covered by his distributing firm, with branches in Los Angel
Oakland, Portland, and Seattle.
From this main office at ~021-23
Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco,
is directed the coast-wide organiza-
tion of the Advance Automatic Sales
Company. Lou Wolcher, head of the
firm, is shown in front of his new
buildi ng, entirely occupied by Advance.
BELOW is a view of the recently enlarged quarters of the Western
Distributors, Incor-porated, in Seattle, which was merged with
Advance to give the organization one of the largest and best
known distributing chains in the country.
ABOVE we see the new Los Angeles branch of Advance, located
at 1150 West Washington Boulevard in a prominent spot on "coin
machine row." M. H. Sanders, manager, has been so busy filling
orders the past two months that the operators will take his
samples if they get a chance, and he has had a hard time pro-
tecting his complete stock of demonstration machines from the
eager ops.
BELOW is the Portland office of the National Amusement Com-
pany of Oregon and Washington, recently affiliated with Advance
to become the Portland link in ,the firm's coastal chain. R. M.
Arnold, Jr., is manager.

Future scanning projects are planned by the International Arcade Museum Library (IAML).
