Show surprises.
CHICAGO. - "Surprises that'll make
'em sit up and take notice," is D. Gott-
lieb & Co.'s promise to every visitor at
the firm's display at the Sherman Hotel
during the CMMA Convention. Declare
company officials: "For weeks execu-
tives at the factory have been in a flurry
of activity and excitement preparing
our new-idea money-makers for their
bow to the trade. Every Show visitor is
invited to stop in at Booths 31, 32 and
33 and get his first glimpse of these in-
novations which we predict will 'corner
the cash' for operators during the corn-
ing year."
Included in the display, according to
further report, are a group of basically
new ideas in pay tables, novelty games,
and counter machines, as well as other
"sensational" new developments for
1939. Other details have been carefully
guarded, however, with a promise that
they would be revealed only at the
Show.
President Dave Gottlieb's statement
concerning corning-year plans. Said he:
"Our Show slogan is 'In 1939, go places
with Gottlieb.' Our prosperity-making
hits, which will be revealed at the Show,
are geared to the times and designed to
break all records for profits. They will
in all probability affect materially the
operator's income during 1939. No mat-
ter what operators have seen before,
they haven't seen anything to compare
with these new machines. They should
be sure to attend the CMMA Conven-
tion, Hotel Sherman, January 16 to 19,
and stop at our Booths, 31, 32 and 33,
without fail."

Nomination of officers for the suc-
ceeding year will be held in this Asso-
ciation early in January, with an en-
tirely new panel of executives and
directors to be considered. It is ex-
pected that the contest will be a heated
one. Following the election, the annual
banquet will take place, at which time
the new officers will be installed and
members will have an opportunity to
participate in a gala time and reac-
quaint their families with the work and
other members of the body. The affair
is expected to bind closer the friendly
relationship which already exists.
Membership in the organization has
so increased during the past few
months that discussion is now under
way concerning a movement to find
new and larger quarters for Associa-
tion meetings. Once adequate, meeting
space is now cramped with the heavier
attendance.
Plans to attend the CMMA Conven-
tion in January are going forward with
Jack Kauffman of K. & C. Distributors
collecting a trainload of coinrnen head-
ed for the showing of new 1939 equip-
ment. At present there is evidence of
a large attendance from this group at
the Chicago session.
The entire membership expresses a
wish for a speedy recovery of the wife
of Sam Lerner, popular operator, who
became ill while at the December
Show.
Irv Newman, evidently prosperous, is
vacationing in Florida, while Myer
Frank is taking it easy in Richmond,
Virginia.

CHICAGO.-One of the most popular
figures in the coin machine industry,
Miss Eve Ginsburg, has recently an-
nounced her engagement to George
Finger of Chicago. Miss Ginsburg has
been associated with her brothers,
Morrie and Eddie Ginsburg, in the Atlas
Novelty Co. since its inception, and she
is well known to virtually all important
coinrnen, many of whom she can call
by their first names. No date nor place
for the wedding ceremony has been
made public as yet, but the REVIEW
joins with other members of the indus-
try in extending sincere best wishes to
Miss Ginsburg, and hearty congratula-
tions to Mr. Finger, her fiance.
