CHICAGO.-Jim Buckley, sales manager
of Bally Mfg. Co., rises to announce that
Bally brings the nation a bonus which
will not be restricted to ex-service men,
but will be a boon to every man or woman
who thrills to the challenge of a new and
different pin game_
Bonus is the name of a new game just
announced by Bally, that has a share-the-
wealth feature in-as-much as players actu-
ally win when they lose " .. win an op-
portunity to collect one of the 10, 20, 50
or 100 point awards.
There are 3 holes, side by side at the
bottom of the board. A ball shot in either
the left or right hole automatically oper-
ates a Bonus dial, registering various
awards from 10 to 100. This dial does
not re-set when coin is deposited, and on
subsequent games a ball placed in the
center Bonus pocket will pay whatever is
indicated on the dial. The Bonus feature
is said to be a strong repeat play stimu-
lator.

ROLAND E. LO
LOS ANGELES. - The new Seeburg
Masterdrink ;,Dispensers play a significant
part in the 1936 California Pacific Inter-
national Exposition which opened for the
new season in San Diego last month, as
a res ult of the efforts of Harry N asland of
General Merchandise Distributing Co. in
closing a contract whereby Coca Cola
drinks are to be sold exclusively through
the Masterdrink units at the Fair.
Primary installation among the 40 or 50
locations on the Exposition grounds is in
the Foods and Beverages Building, where
a large battery of the See burg dispensers
replaces the well known Coca Cola bottling
plant in serving soft drinks. In addition
to handling the contract, N asland also was
arranging for the Coca Cola people to
sponsor the public address system calling
attention to the drinks available by means
of the new coin-operated equipment. The
whole set-up was expected to develop wide
public acceptance of coin-controlled vend-
ing mechanisms among the thousands of
people from all over the world who visit
the Exposition_
The Masterdrink, according to word from
the Seeburg factory, takes but four sec-
onds to deliver a perfectly mixed carbon-
ated drink with proper proportions of
syrup and carbonated water. It is equipped
with the compact See burg carbonator, per-
fected after years of experimental work to
achieve perfect carbonation most efficiently
at a low cost of operation. Seeburg also
uses its own Masterdtink draft arm to
assure a uniform drink at all times, with
adjustable features providing for varying
quantities of syrup to be used.
Temperature control is attained through
a special Frigidaire unit. • The complete
Masterdrink mechanism is housed in an
attractive cabinet 72 inches tall, 30 inches
wide and 20 inches deep, designed for in-
stallation in all types of locations ranging
from theatre lobbies to industrial plants,
department stores, office buildings, schools,
etc.
