Ambassador Deparfs
W ifh Favorife Table
PHILADELPHIA (RC) - Considerable
valuable publicity was given the coin mach·
ine industry in eastern papers during the
month when Pennsylvania's ex·governor
George H. Earle left for his new post as
Ambassador to Bulgaria.
For some little time Earle has enjoyed
playing a certain marble table at his favor·
ite club. Upon opening his going away gifts
from various friends and well·wisher Earle
was pleased no little to find that a number
of his old cronies had chipped in and pur·
chased him a brand new copy of his favor·
ite table to be taken along with him to
Bulgaria.

Groefchen Hails
10,OOOfh Imp
CHICAGO - Swinging into March at
peak production and with working sched·
ules 42% ahead of the 1939 volume, the
Groetchen Tool Company factory family
interrupted its creative tempo last week
for a hail and farewell to the 1O,000th Imp
as it came off the production line.

HOLLYWOOD-James Roosevelt, motion picture producing son of
Franklin D., has joined hands with Fred L. Mills, of Mills Novelty Company,
according to an announcement made here February 21st, to produce and
distribute three minute sound films for use in coin· operated machines.
Name of the Company is Mills-Globe Company and is reported to have
more than three million dollars with which to handle its productions.
Wire releases from Hollywood stated that the projectors will be made
by Mills and sold to operators through the Mills organization while Roosevelt
will remain in Hollywood and supervise production of the shorts which will
be made in both 16mm and 35mm widths.
Roosevelt has been active in picture production for several months and
is head of Globe Productions, Inc.
Machines will operate on either a five or ten cent piece and will project
films upon a mirror screen 18 by 24 inches. Subjects will be mostly musical
ones with occasionally outstanding news events thrown in for novelty.

Mohr Pleased With
New Arrivals
LOS ANGELES-It wasn't the stork
that made Mac Mohr happy during the
past few weeks. It was express and freight
shipments of Exhibit and Daval machines
that operators have been clamoring for.
Mohr, west coast factory representative
for Daval and factory representative for
Exhibit in California and Arizona, is en·
thused about the reception given the new
machines by jobbers and distributors in the
west.
"Believe it or not," ays Mac, "I've been
pretty dam busy dashing from jobber to
jobber picking up orders and firing them
in by wire to the factories. That condition
is rapidly being alleviated for now we ex·
pect to have adequate stocks in Los An·
geles to take care of our folks. It seems
though that everywhere I go I hear com·
pliments and praises for our machines.
We're deeply pleased and we are doing our
best to take care of operator requirements
as rapidly as possible. Exhibit's sales·
Mr. OPERATOR:
manager, 10hn Chrest, tells me they are
about a week behind on deliveries on
Lancer but by the time this reaches print
we'll probably have ample machines for
jobbers.
"The big love in our lives right now is
Exhibit's new Baseball machine designed
by Harry Williams, former prominent west
coast manufacturer and designer and a boy
that knows baseball games. Harry has de·
veloped something entirely new and dif.
ferent and incorporated in a popular priced
game all the play·compelling features of
machines double and triple the price. It's
not just another pin game but something
entirely new and different. Models are now
in production and we'll have samples
shortly."
