Vacations are still the "talk of the hour."

itor Corp. in Detroi t, flew in on July 21 to
look over th e machines being manufactured
in th e West. Satisfied with two or three he
picked up, Langley TWA'd back Ea t.
Mo.lly S imo.n , assistant to "Curley" Rob ·
inson, AOLAC managing director, is sport·
ing a stunning tan which he received on
her vacation trip spent up at Murietta Hot
Springs. Molly was up th ere for two weeks
and came back feeling fit as the proverbial
fiddle.
A new face in the AOLAC offices is that
of Virginia Co.o.per, who has joined th e
office staff to take the place of Shirley

Charterin g boats for fishing parties is
becoming quite the thing to do. Jack
Gutshall of Esquire Music i one of the
regulars. On July 13 he took his entire staff
a nd th eir wives on a trip to Ca talina. The
same gro up , minus those who " went under"
on seasickness, did the whole thing over
again on July 27. "Gray Dawn" is the boat
th e lads 1 ike best.
Do.n Graves, personable service man for
Harmony Hostess in Pasadena, is glad to be
hack on the job after a five·month stint in
the Army. Don was at San Luis Obispo.
One of the busiest trucks of any operator
in the southern tip of Cal ifornia is that of
Kenneth Wo.lfe in San Diego. With the
Navy on tap and thousands at Camp Callan
the purveyors of amusements in the San
Diego area are finding ample opportuniti es
for installing new equipment. So busy are
the lads that they cannot find time to visit
the 1. A. jobbers in search of new equip-
ment, so instead the jobbers are goi ng south
to visit th em.
"To.ny" Parina, L. A. manager for R. A.
Parina & Co., left on July 24 with his fam-
ily for a short vacation jaunt to San Fran-
cisco. Returning, "Tony" will bring down
his boat and anchor it at Lake Arrowhead.

Francisco for the opening of the Jack R.
Moore offices on August 2. All reported
Jo.hnny Ruggiero. the prince of hosts.
Trojan Novelty at 1813 West Pico, headed
up by Fred Gaunt, is really a bu y spot
PROTECTION
No one is safe from the depredations of
the spooner. His visits are more to be
fea re d than those of the night prowler.
The prowler may wake you up, but you
don't know about the spooner until you
look in the cash box.
Our proven No Spoon-No Spill Lip serves a
double purpose. It gives added conven-
ience to the player and discourages the
spooner no end.
We install this double purpose lip FREE
with overhaul or refinish iobs.
