KEEN EY ON COAST
BURBANK LICENSES DUE
• Jack Keeney pays !lyinq visit to
west coast distributors.
• Only IO-ball qames and vendinq
machines will be licensed,
LOS ANGELES.-He came by plane, this
popular and well known figure in the coin
machine world, Jack Keeney.
Keeney brought along some mighty good
news on the new Keeney line for operators
and jobbers to dwell and act upon. Note-
worthy among other high points on the
new Keeney line is the fact that their pay-
out tables come equipped with ticket vend-
ing mechanisms if desired.
Word has been passed along that free
game equipped machines are becoming more
and more popular with operators. In an
interview with the editor of THE REVIEW
Keeney said: "If more operators knew the
excellent reports we are getting on 'free-
games' equip'ped machines, it would tax our
production facilities to the utmost to meet
the demand." In addition, Keeney advised
that Rainbow 1 shot table, Grand Slam 1
and 2 shot table and Booster 5 ball payout
and ticket models are being shipped into
territories throughout the entire country in
considerable quantities, and that his line of
new machines today is in greater demand
than for many months previous.
Having completed a tour that took him
to Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los An-
geles, Salt Lake City, and intermediate
points, Keeney is now back in Chicago.
