Big event of the past month was the
second annual banquet and entertain-
ment of this outstanding organization,
held at Jack Lynch's night club, atop the
Hotel Walton, Sunday Evening, January
22, with more than 250 operators and
their wives present. Also in attendance
as guests were representatives of differ-
ent manufacturing and distributing or-
ganizations, as well as officers of the
different chapters of the Association.
Distributed at the affair was a com-
plete program and booklet with adver-
tisements from all the leading manufac-
turers of phonograph machines and ac-
cessories. Of great interest was a brief
history of the organization detailing its
development since its formation October
19, 1936, in a meeting of a handful of
operators and some manufacturers' rep-
resentatives.
A brief synopsis of the high points of
this history: During the first year of or-
ganization meetings were held at the
offices of Attorney Edward Polisher, and
later, when the membership increased,
in the headquarters of Morris Margulis.
A year later the organization opened its
283 5 W. Pico
own headquarters at 2013 Market Street,
with Frank Hammond acting as busi-
ness manager.
Membership was increased and in ad-
dition to honoring each other's location
and following uniform commission rates,
the Association offered members sav-
ings by quantity purchases, and proof
of savings effected is that in one year
merchandise amounting to $5,000 was
purchased for members.
The Harrisburg chapter was formed
February 21 , 1938, with a nucleus of nine
men, growing in less than a year to
thirty members . Another chapter was
organized June 20, 1938, with the forma-
tion of a subsidiary group of 12 opera-
tors in Wilkes-Barre; membership now
has increased to 27.
With the increase of membership in
the Philadelphia group, and the import-
ance of work handled, headquarters
was transferred to a larger office in the
Schaff Building, April 22, 1938.
Since the formation of the Phonograph
Operators Association, helpful agree-
