REVIEW
First we met Elwood Hays, phonograph
operator contact salesman for Decca re-
cords. Then we met Ed Heller, Columbia
record operator salesman, and finally Nel-
son Verbit, handling similar duties for
Victor and Bluebird records. All were
enthused about business of their respective
discs.
Ed Heller clai'med a special distinction
for his orchestra the Royalists, soon to go
on recordings, since the manager, press
agent and leader are all employed by the
Motor Parts Company, local Columbia
record distributor.
An excellent delegation from the phono-
graph operating industry was present at the
Green Valley Country Club dance held on
June 15th with Rex Al exander and his
Royalists orchestra providing terpchoria-
numbers. "Chickie" Finkel, daughter of an
operator, had a number dedicated especi-
ally to her as the most charming girl
present while Jack Rosen, son of Raymond
Rosen, local Victor distributor, was also a
guest,
Morris Sherman, executive of the Mutual
Music Company, is eagerly anticipating a
blessed event.
'
Both Harry Mendelsohn and Max Brown,
of Pasadena Novelty Company, became
fathers within two days of each other.
Harry's wi'fe provided him with a seven
pound son named Philip Edward while· the
stork brought Max Brown a six pound girl
who was promptly named Shiela Dale
Brown. The babes were born in adjoining
rooms and are first cousins.
Molly Jacobs, efficient bookkeeper of the
Pasadena Novelty Company, will change
her name to Mrs. Donald J. Pressman on
September 15.

Reynolds Hails
Liberty Bell
CHICAGO - Earl Reynolds, Groetchen
distributor for northern Texas, spent some
little time in Chicago the middle of June
conferring with Richard Groetchen and
Karl Klein on distributing plans for their
new Liberty Token Payout Bell.
Groetchen had considered this game im-,
portant enough to invi te Earl and other
key distributors to come to Chicago to
view the first Liberty games rolling off the
assembly lines.
"What surprises me," said Earl, "is the
phenomenal growth of the Groetchen fac-
tory during recent years. There are shining
rows of precision machine tools, manned
by skilled mechanics busily machining
complicated castings; giant punch presses
pound and stamp metal parts, batteries of
drill presses are working away at top
speed; and there is the incessant flash of
spotwelders joining together metal pieces.
Several floors, with daylight streaming
through hundreds of windows, are devoted
to assembly operations. When seeing this
stream of counter games and bells, one is
wondering where they are all going t o be
used, but I can well understand their great
popularity from the busi ness we have en-
joyed in Texas on Groetchen's Imp. And
the new Liberty Token Payout Bell should
be an even bigger seller, because it con-
tains a raft of money-making features
which every operators needs and appre-
ciates."

"No, but I picked up a little Cuban one
night in Havana."
