J. P. "Midge" Ryan, San Francisco man-
ager for Mills, tries out some new steps
with Miss Coin Machine to tunes played
on the new Mills phonograph.
The visit to the NACOMM Show in
Chicago proved fruitful for most of the
members of this Association, many of
whom purchased quantities of new
equipment, and with the different man-
ufacturers all sharing in the business
crea:ed by musicmen of this area. Wur-
litzer, Rock-Ola and Seeburg all will
have plenty of new equipment on local
routes after the new year, judging from
the data gathered on purchases made
at the convention.
For unification of the phonograph op-
erators on a national scale the trip to
Chicago was very fruitful, for Frank
Hammond, business manager of the lo-
cal organization, presided over a meet-
ing attended by representatives of vir-
tually all operator groups in the coun-
try and foundations were laid for a
powerful national group of operators.
Plans for futur.e gatherings to coordi-
nate by-laws and regulations of the
several local groups were laid at the
Chicago meeting, as well as setting of
a time for another national meeting to
be held soon.
As a direct outcome of the Chicago
meeting Hammond aided in the forma-
tion of a phonograph operator group in
Wise , Virginia, under the wing of H. K.
Kiser, an attorney in that area, who
was retained by operators of Virginia
and Wes tern Kentucky. Complete in-
formation concerning by-laws and reg-
ulations of the local group was dis-
patched to Kiser to aid him in organiz-
ing his group.
A pact was consummated between
the Phonograph Operators of Eastern
Pennsylvania and New Jersey and the
Northern New Jersey Phonograph Oper-
ators who maintain headquarters in
Newark, N. J. The agreement between
the two p owerful organizations prom-
ises that members of one group will re-
spect locations of operators affiliated
with the other association. In addition
to establishing this treatment of loca-
tions, members of the local group oper-
ating machines in New Jersey will be-
come associate members of the New
Jersey body, and vice versa.
The agreement between the two bod-
ies was negotiated by a committee
from the Pennsylvania group consisting
of President Phil Frank, Frank Viscidi,
Jack Sheppard, Jack Budnick, Charles
Juniowitz, and Business Manager Frank
Hammond. The New Jersey organiza-
tion was represented by President Ar-
thur Segar, Bill Ashmore, Archie Kass,
Sam Robins, and Business Manager Le
Roy Stein. The meeting at which all
arrangements were completed was
held at the Stacey Trent Hotel, Trenton,
N. J., December 23. The agreement,
which also covers members of the
Pennsylvania group in Wilkes-Barre
and Harrisburg, was approved by the
membership of both Associations at
