New Buckley Offices
in Sacramento
SAN FRANCIS CO -
With sales of
Buckl ey Music Systems soaring to new
highs in the Sacram ento, California, area,
announcement was made by William Cor-
coran, Pacific Coast Distri ct Sales Man -
age r, that D. B. Scotto, Sacramento dis-
tributor, had moved last week into a new
location at 919 10th Street.
Th e wall of one side of th e showroom
is devoted • to displays of the Buckley

away units, showing th e operation of the

of the showroom, a 40-foot ti er of shelves
for new and used records has been in -
stalled. Directly at th e rear of th e show-
room, two modern offices for the conven-
ience of operators and executives have
been constructed, while th e shop fa cilities
are quartered in th e basement, which ex-
tends the full length of the store de pth
and provides a rear. entrance for incoming
a nd outgoing shipments.
Scotto's entrance into the music busi-
ness took place about 4 years ago, at
which time he built up a route in Sacra-
mento and other Valley communities, com-
prisin g between 60 and 70 phono graphs.
These . locations are still operated, al-
though many of them ar.e being converted
into Buckley installations.
Last year, Bill Corcoran, Pacific Coast
Sales Manager for Buckley, interested
Scotto in converting one or two of his
loca tions into Buckl ey installations. After

some deliberation, Scotto decided to in•
stall a group of 7 Buckl ey Wall and Coun-
ter Boxes in one of his locations.
The immediate increase in profits made
him decid e to a pply to Bill Corcoran for
the distributorship of Buckley Music Sys-
tems in th e Sacra mento Valley. The dis-
tributorship appointment was granted him
last November.
An interesting phase of Scotto's opera-
tion is the fa ct tha t he has developed a
plan wh ereby operators may trade in used
records as a part down paymen t on a
Buckl ey installation. Operators who are
interested in this trade-in plan may r e-
ceive full details by addressing letters to
D. B. Scotto, 919 10th Street, Sacramento,
California. The new headquarters will re-
main open each evening until 10, for the
convenience of operators.
