Pacific Northwest Poller
By LOUIS KARNOFSKY
After being manager of the Thomas
Gum Company for the past eight y ears,
Harry Herbert has resigned to go into
the operating business under his own
banner. He will concentrate on scales,
phonographs and merchandise mach-
ines. An office has been established at
the old Thomas Gum location on First
Avenue, which will also act as head-
quarters for Phonograph Operator Ray
Corbin.
New head man at Thomas Gum-Inter-
state Sales' Seattle office is Charley Al-
len, a veteran operator, who not only
knows all the tricks of the operating
game but all of the choice stories . 'Tl!
never forget that location man in Mon-
tana in the automatic phone's early
years who approached me and asked
how much I wanted to install a phono-
graph in his beer parlor. I told the chap
I would have to collect $40 a week out
of the machine in order to keep it on his
location. The fellow agreed. At the end
of the first week I went around to make
the collection. Th~ cash box totalled
exactly $38. The location man went to
his cash register, whipped out two dol-
lars and slapped them on the counter.
'I promised you $40 and there you are,'
he told me. Well, I counted out the loca-
tion's percentage and turned it over to
Supreme, the novelty game with kicking bumper feature, has caught the eye of
Art Nyberg of John A. Fitzgibbons, Inc., and he's trying his hand at it.
the chap. 'What's this for? ' he wanted
to know. I told him it was his share of
the receipts. He looked at me goggle-
eyed for a minute, like a youngster who
suddenly makes the discovery that there
is a Santa Claus; then he turned to the
crowd in the beer parlor and shouted:
'Gather round, boys; the drinks are on
me.' "
"Variety is the spice of life." That
slogan has at least one active sponsor
in the Northwest in Bert Farmer, the dig-
ger man. Bert believes in variety in his
office and shoproom set-up, because for
the last six months, Superior Distributors
have undergone one revision after an-
other. Is there an architect or interior
decorator in the house? Bert could u se
a fellow like that on a fuli-time basis.
Coinings on the Cuff: Speaking of
changes in offices and shop-rooms, Jack
Moore 's have undergone a similar face -
lifting. Carpenters have installed a pri-
vate office ... . So Jack Benny and Fred
Allen think they have a feud , eh? Well,
Earl Heroux has purchased a dandy
little speedboat, and if Coin Row 's citi-
zenry will exert a little pressure, they
may be watching the Coin Machine
Speedboat Classic from their front doors
this summer. It will be "Speedboat"
Johnny Michael vs. Heroux . . . .
"Badge" Bagley, formerly a digger
operator at Marshfield, Oregon, has
joined the staff of Superior Distributors.
"Badge" is the first man to operate dig-
gers in the Pacific Northwest, having
started his coin machine career in
Seattle in Ja nuary, 1932 .... Number Two
in joining the digger service is Bill (W.
C. Fields) Staed, who started shortly
thereafter . . . .
Traffic along Coin Row must be very,
very heavy or the street must be very,
very old, because repair men spent con-
siderable time las t month putting the
cement surface in good working order.
. . . A honey if there ever was one:
Rock-Ola's new Lightup phonograph.
.. . House work and office work don't
mix very well, as far as the fair sex is
concerned. Sybil Stark was feeling ath-
letic and decided to give the ol' home a
good going over. She did. Now a com-
bination of muscular strain and charley
horse make it very advisable for her to
remain seated a s much as possible .. ..
Which reminds u s that learning how to
skate produces the exact opposite effect
-it is very advisable to keep away from
the s eat of a chair.
