REVIEW
FAYETTEVILLE, N. C.-R. W. Boling
for the past ten years, auditor of The
Vending Machine Company, "The World's
Largest Coin Machine Distributors," was
honored by the Governor of the State of
North Carolina, Clyde R. Hoey, at the
opening of the Lions Clubs Convention in
Raleigh in mid-June.
Boling is well known to all who deal
with The Vending Machine Company. Pre•
viously he was principal of the public high
schools system of North Carolina Univer-
sity, teacher of the young men's Bible
Class in the First Baptist Church as well
as a prominent Mason.
Boling has proven himself one of the
greatest workers in behalf of his state. He
i's extremely busy at the offices of The
Vending Machine Company all day long,
as coinmen who have visited here and who
are in constant communication with him,
know. Therefore, his attaining the Gov-
ernorship of District 31B for the Lions
Clubs is considered an unusually fine
achievement.
The entire coin machine industry takes
great pride in Boling's accomplishments.
His leadership in this great movement for
his state is commended by leaders through-
out the industry.
According to Joe Calcutt, "We are tre-
mendously proud of the accomplishments
of Boling in the field of civic and state
activities and believe that his fine work
will reflect with high praise upon the coin
machine industry. This again proves that
the men engaged in the coin machine busi-
ness are as proud of their communities,
their state and their country as any other
men in any industry.
"It was a real thrill for all of us here
at The Vending Machine Company to see
Boling pictured seated next to Governor
Clyde R. Hoey of North Caroli'na in our
morning paper. It is this sort of achieve-
ment that makes us all proud to he with
the coin machine business.
"It has always been a great pleasure to
all of us here at Vemco to have our men
engaged in public minded activities to
help better the general welfare of their
communities as well as the entire nation.
We feel that this work on the part of our
employees, as well as on the part of all
those engaged in the coin machine busi-
ness, is hound to help place the industry
in a finer light with the public general1y.
"Whatever else the average man engaged
in this business can do, he most certainly
can look to Roy W. Boling as one man who
has helped him with the type of effort
which all public spirited men in this in-
dustry, are, or should he, accomplishing
♦
in their own communities."

MONTREAL - Little news items
that tell much better than do govern-
ment reports of Ontario's big war
effort have been accumulating dur-
ing the past few days.
Major W. J. LaFores t, Sudbury,
Ontario, announced that an un-
named operator of coin machines of-
fered to turn over 40 machines with
the keys to help the town to buy a
tank for use by the Allies. Official
figures place the cost of a tank at

• Phonovision Wins
Ops Approval
NEW YORK-The special distributor's
demonstration of Phoncivision, July 1st to
July 10th attracted the country's leading
df!;trihutors and operators to the offices and
showrooms of the Phonovision Corporation
of America, 1 East 54th Street, this city.
Executives of the firm are tremendously
enthused with the manner in which opera-
tors and distributors from all over the
country have been calling at their offices to
get acquainted and to learn more about
the possibilities of Phonovision for opera-
tion in their territory.
Frank P . Orsatti, president of the firm,
is convinced that the coin machine trade
is entering in to one of its most progressive
eras and that Phonovision opens a tre-
mendous new field for the entire industry.
"Operators who have been successful in
other divisions of the field and are well
acquainted with their communities will find
Phonovision the product they have long
awaited. There is no doubt anymore of its
appeal to the public. This was clearly de-
monstrated at the world's premiere public
showing of Phonovision at Jack Dempsey's
Broadway Restaurant where. leaders of
stage, screen, radio and industry as well as
the public accorded it one of-\he greatest
ovations ever received by any new product
in history."
Other executives of the firm are also
pleased with the manner in which the trade
has reacted to Phonovision. Samuel Sax
who is in charge of production of Phono-
vision films and who was formerly pro-
ducer of Warner Brothers Vitaphone
Shorts for the past ten years, stated, "We
are making every effort to give the opera-
tors and distributors of Phonovision only
the leading names in the orchestra world.
Our first reel of eight subjects will he out-
standing in this regard. We have already
signed famous talent and believe that be-
fore many more days have passed almost
all prominent names in the industry will
he under the Phonovision banner."
Action has been speedier than ever at
the offices of Phonovision where every day
large groups of operators and distributors
from all over the country gather to see
the demonstrations and to discuss the pos-
sibilities of Phonovision in their communi-
ties. It is also noticeable that the reaction
in every case has been extremely favorable
to the machine and that the leaders of the
industry regard it as "The biggest event in
the history of the coin machine business." ♦
