that Rock-Ola Mfg_
A MULTI-SELECTOR CABINET A MINUTE
Corp. is a powerful influence in the furniture industry, this photograph
of part of Rock-Ola's permanent display rooms in the Chicago Mer-
chandise Mart indicates the magnitude of the firm's activities in this
field_ In an alcove of this display are installed one-ball pay tables
and mint vendors that make it a popular rendezvous.
-And in Rock-Ola's modern woodworking plant, the largest in the
industry, cabinets for phonographs and pin games are turned out with
the same degree of expert care and efficiency as the finest furniture.
This $48,000 battery of three high-speed tenoners helps to produce
Multi-Selector cabinets at the rate of one every minute--and five pin
game cabinets per minute!
