COIN
MACHINE
REVIEW
AURORA, Ill. (Special) - When the
Stoner Mfg. Corp. of this city exhibits its
1938 hit games at the annual Coin Ma-
chine Show and convention, all Aurora
will be pulling for the Stoners to click
in 1938. Harry Stoner, M. H. Stoner and
Ted Stoner bear the good wishes of this
entire community, for they ha ve ta ken
the name of Aurora around the world
with their popular coin operated amuse-
ment games.
There are plenty of reasons why Au-
rora is proud of the Stoner s u ccess and
anxious for its continuance. In the first
place, there 's the important fact that
400 local people are making good sal-
anes from the Stoner enterprises. Back
In the worst days of the depression
when the Stoners began expanding
their operations, many of these people
,!"ere unemployed. Now they have good
Jobs, have learned to do skilled work
and are highly respected, responsible:
self-supporting members of the com-
munity.
The Stoners have doubled their plant
capacity in the past two years , taking
over a large factory building next door
and thus boosting their production ca-
pacity and improving plant efficiency.
In buying their second factory build ing
they became listed among the commun-
ity's larger property owners. As a mat-
ter of record, everything tha t makes up
a Stoner game, except for the glass
ta ble tops, is ma de right within the or-
ganiza tion, establishing the org aniza -
lion as a complete manufacturing unit
operating on the precision m a nufacture
and assembly line system used by the
largest motor car manufacturers.
So, first of all , Aurorans want Stoners
to continue their phenomenal success
because it means better business for
the city. But beyond that, Aurora wants
the organi zation to keep going because
the Stoners have sold the community
on the coin machine indu stry and be-
caus~, they are regarded as "great
guys. They are the most active work-
ers in civic improvements; they are con-
stantly publicizing the city wherever
their games are sold; they are liberal
contributors to every community enter-
prise, giving time , money and advertis-
ing space without question to benefit
Aurora. An example of their sincerity
came with purchase of a half-page, un-
Attention Operators!
Check up on the old stock that
you don't want. Figure out
what new machines you need
and we will give you a liberal
allowance on any kind of trade.
A few minutes' time and a let-
ter with a three cent stamp is
liable to make you a hundred
dollars.
Will you do it now? The longer
the merchandise remains .in
your basement the less value
it has.
W .e carry a f~ll line of every-
thmg. All you have to do is
name it.

The Stoners
signed plea in the newspaper for sup-
port of a plan to send a high school
band to a national contest. To this date
only two or three people at the news-
paper, of whom this writer is one, know
that the Stoner Mfg. Corp. bought the
ad and paid for the ·space.
Aurora is an industrial community,
with numerous factories , and the Stoner
plant has become an outstanding ex-
ample of industrial efficiency. Nothing
is wasted, either in material or effort.
Because of the savings effected the
Stoner Corp. is able to build extra qual-
ity into its products without getting
above the price range of its competi-
tors. Similarly, when they buy anything
-services or merchandise-the Stoners
buy from the person or firm whom they
believe to be outstanding in the field.
Aurorans believe much of the firm 's suc-
cess is due to this sort of business
policy.
The Stoner booth has always been a
major crowd puller at the Coin Ma-
chine Shows, and there is every reason
to believe that the same thing will
transpire this year. C. R. Adelberg, pop-
ular Stoner salesmanager, who came
here from a highly successful business
connection in Milwaukee to bring the
Stoner company the benefits of his
sales experience, believes that the rec-
ord for consistent "hit" games will re-
main intact and will be strengthened
by the 1938 product, among them: Par-
ley Vouz, a I-ball payout table; Aces
Wild, a console game; and Skill Derby,
another console which cashes in on the
popularity of horse racing.
