Hot Dogs! Races! Prizes!
A Perfect Holiday Picnic!
CHICAGO - There was a good, old·
fash ioned spirit at Harms Woods, Memorial
Day, as employees of the Atlas
ovelty
Company, their fami lies and friends, at·
tended the ann ual outing.
With Mrs. Ginsburg, mother of Eddie
and Morrie, acting as ho tess, the 350
guests sat down to 600 hot dogs, 50 cases
of pop, thousands of sandwiches, and Mrs.
Ginsburg'S potato salad. Mrs. Eddie Gins·
burg and Mrs. Morrie G insburg assisted
as hostesses.
Boys' and girls', men's and women's races
fea tured the entertainment, with Eddie and
Morrie Ginsburg acting as star ters and
awa rding prizes. A softball game, trad i·
tion of th e outing, was played between an
Atlas team and the Morton Grove Fla hers,
Atlas losing the battle with a score of
6 to 5. Each player on the winning team
received a necktie.

Automatic Vending
Looms as Retail Power
Groetchen's "Wings"
Wins Topnotch Favor
CHICAGO-The man of the house and
his lady may buy stockings and suspenders,
underwear and pajamas, shaving cream and
cosmetics from automatic vending machines
in the not too d istant f uture.
Discu ing the problem of employment, a
si tuation created by the inroads made on
retail selling personnel thro ugh defense
mobiliza tion and the draft, Royal F . Mun·
ger, financial columnist for the Chicago
Daily News, prophesies the probability of
retail selling by machines.
To quote his column of June 2: "The
bargaining power of the individual em·
ployee will be jncreased, but along with
th is will go the general rise in selling costs,
and the tendency to use mechanical aids
in sell ing. Automatic vending has maybe
been a dud, so far, but jf there is any se·
vere shortage of tore employees, automatic
vending may come in a rush."

CHICAGO-There is an interesting story
behind the development of Groetchen's new
5·reel cigarette game, which appropriately
enough has been christened "Wings."
Six yea rs ago, the first 5·reel cigarette
game had been offered by Groetchen in
their Zig-Zag game which then enjoyed
great populari ty. In the meantime, 3-reel
cigarette games, with and without token
payout, had attained a peak of popularity,
and many operators felt that something new
should be offered to their patrons to keep
playing interest alive. Groetchen sensed this
new trend and created Wings wh ich has
quickly jumped into the lead of Cigarette
Reel games. The regular "One Pack
Awards," obtainab le on lin ing up three
symbols of a kind, are "spiced" at certain
intervals wi th the desirable "5 Pack
Awards," obtained on lining up four sym·
boIs, and that very elusive, but neverthe-
less promising big award of "Ten Packs,"
obtained on five symbols of a kind.
Greatly increased earning reports are
reaching the Groetchen plant from the oper-
ators in various parts of the country, who·
were priv ileged to location·test "Wi ngs"
prior to its release to the trade.
