Coin Machine Review (& Pacific ...)

C. Walters Appointed
Speaker Distributor
LOS ANGELES-C. Walters and Asso-
ciates, with offices at 2201 Beverly Boule-
vard, have been appointed exclusive South-
ern California distributors for th e Model
600 P ackard Wall Console Speaker.
"We pride ourselves in picking items that
mean money fo r operators when they use
them," declared C. Walters. "We picked
the P ackard Speaker beca use we believe it
is the very best s peaker of its kind on the
market today. Although priced surprisin gly
low it gives · th e appearance of being very
costly but, more than that, it invites plays
and the operator profi ts accordi ngly."
In addition to th e P ackard Speaker, C.
Walters and Associa tes are enjoying a nice
business on the Automa tic Ga mes View-A-

Cisterman Opens New
Office for Rowe
SAN FRANCISCO- Harry G. Cisterman,
Wes t Coast representative for the Rowe
Manufacturing Co., recently opened new
offi ces at 516 Van Ness Avenue. "We're just
a skip and a hop from the heart of Coin
Row and have abundant parking s pace and
are all set to do plenty of business," Cis-
terman declared.
In the new spot a complete line of Rowe
machines is on display including the Rowe
penny Merchandiser. "This machine has
been es pecially popular with operators,"
said Cisterman, "for th ey lik e its compact
size. It is only fifteen inches high, eleven
inches wide and fi ve inches deep but it has
a capacity of five hundred pi eces of gum
which r educes th e amount of servicin g
necessary."
Cisterman has installed a large well
equipped service department with com-
petent mechanics on hand, and another part
of the buildin g is being used for a parts

and accessories department.

DALLAS- Throughout this entire state

marvelling at the way Daval's Marvel has

Si Lynch and Ed Furlow of th e Electro-

Ed reports, "This is wi'thout any doubt
the greatest machin e th at we have ever
featured in the counter game line. Marvel
is the type of ga me that most of the boys
down here only drea med about. When we
first intro duced the machine, we found that

publication the most progressive of any
of those publ ished up there .
" In your February issue I noticed an
ad of the Ideal Novelty Company in St.
Louis and I placed with them a sub-
stantial order fo r phonographs. It just
goes to prove that it pays to advertise
in your magazine."

Mohr Completes
Successful Trip
LOS ANG ELES- Mac Mohr, Western
Representa tive for the Daval Mfg. Co., anr:I
Baker Mfg. Co., returned to Los Angeles
th e fi rst part of the month after a success-
ful trip through th e north ern Coast Sta tes.
Mac spent considerable time wi th Walter
Soloman, Western Distributor manager, in
Seattle who acquainted Mac wi th some
almost unbelievable reports of receipts on
Daval counter games.
Sybil Stark, genial mana ger for Heber-
ling Brothers, gave Mohr almost an identi-
cal story of Daval counter ga me acceptance
in the Pacific Northwest. Opera tors seem to
be pleased with th e license bill which
passed the Legislature and becomes effec-
tive on May 1st.
Jo e Hart, Everett, Washin gton operator,
who has more than a thousand· coun ter
games in operation in his extensive terri-
tory, placed an order with Moh r for a
sizable number of new Daval products.
All jobbers and operators seem to be
looking forward to steady, and increasingly
good, busin ess, Mohr reported as a result
of his contacts with Budge Wright and Ace
Arnsberg, Portland; and Wolf Reiwitz, Lou
Wolcher and Golden Ga te Novelty in San
Fra ncisco.
