SAN ANTONIO - "The counter model
phonograph is gaining in popularity by
leaps and bounds," says Ken Wilkinson of
the United Amusement Co. Wilkinson, who
is Rock-Ola distributor for Luxury Lightups
in this territory, says the current swing to
the counter model is particularly interesting
in view of the fact that when they made
their appearance there was some reluctance
among operators to give them the same
acceptance as the larger models. The
appearance of the new Rock-Ola Luxury
Lightup Counter Model had a lot to do with
changing reluctance into enthusiasm in Wil-
kinson's opinion. "With this new model it
was possible for the first time to offer all
location owners-even the smallest-all the
performance of the larger models.
"As a result," continues Wilkinson,
"operators have found it extremely profit-
able to fill in the gaps on their location
routes. Where formerly they were content
to place large models in the larger taverns,
hotels, restaurants, etc., now they stop at
the smaller in-between spots too. Naturally
with new fields wide open for new business
with virtually every small bar, cocktail
lounge, cafe, drug or confectionary store an
A-1 prospect for the new counter job-it's
a cinch that operators are going to find the
phonograph field more profitable than it's
ever been before."
Wilkinson goes on to comment that in
many cases, these smaller spots with their
continuous day-in and day-out traffic assure
a play for the counter models that ap-
proaches and often passes that given the
big models in the big spots.

A salesman was rattling along a country
road in Tennessee, when he came to a ford.
A negro was standing by the little stream
where some ducks were swimming. The
salesman said: "Can I get through the creek
with this car all right?"
"Yes, suh, drive right through."
The salesman, thus encouraged, drove
into the stream, only to find that the water
was so deep that it Aooded his engine. He
and his companion had to get out into the
stream with the cold water up to their arm-
pits and push the car to the bank.
The salesman turned and said: "What do
you mean by telling me that I could drive
through that creek?"
"Well, boss, I never knew dat water was
so deep. It only comes half-way up on my
ducks.

"Guess who it is?" she asked gleefully.
"Stop fooling," was the reply, "and get
