NEW YORK (RC) - Hats off to the
Munves boys! It's coinmen like th ese boys
who make you think the business is goi ng
somewhere. Jack in g up prize awards to
$1200 in th eir idea con test, the Munves
family has not only opened the gates wide
for ideas but it has shown the trade that
grabbing the other feller's spot i n't the
only way to increase your business.
REASONS WHY OPERATORS Of THE ROWE STANDARD MAKE MONEY
Is business good? You should try a nd
get into some of those jobbers' dens! What
are the boys offering-Hedy Lamarr and
th e Marx Brothers on toast? Seeburg,
Rock-Ola, Wurlitzer, the merchandi ers and
games are whirling dervishes these days.
Have you heard th e good n ews? Sum-
mer festivals are in store. The CMA, th e
Amalgamated and other local units are
settin g up th eir dates for bucolic idyls-
you know, th e place where gras really
grows and a tree ain't by th e co urtesy of
MGM.
It's only a short while back Bert Lane
was batting 'em out for Ponser. Now the
local boy is branching out and taking more
space on Coin Machine Row. A decorator
has been ca ll ed in a nd when he's through
even the manufacturers will have to take
off their hats when they hit Seaboard!
In-again -o ut-aga in Joe Fishman is b~ck
with th e Amalgamated. Seems Joe Just
ca n't keep away from th e boys and th e
boys, knowin g what a firecracker Jo e ca n
be, want Joe to feel that the welcome sign
is a permanent fixture.
Big nam es in town this semes ter include
Frank DuGreni er whom we spotted in co n-
feren ce with Jimmy Martin and Joe Snow,
DuGreni er representatives. Th e firm has
ca ught Coin Machine Row fever and is
adding to its space.
Did you know th at Bill P eek is swearin g
off gardenias? The decision ca me when
Bill had a fallout with his car and blamed
the lapel decorator for getting in his way.
Seeburg's outlet on Tenth Avenue is
getting to be a second Hollywood stopover.
If Nat Cohn keeps on dishing out those
pretties of stage, screen and radio, how
do you expect the boys to go home to their
wives? Latest were the King Sisters.
Maybe you don't believe in miracles, but
plain duty prompts us to report that those
two portly gentlemen who frequent the
CMA have gone down ten pounds and
they' re not through yet. As we understand
it, thl! cause for all this subtraction is a
sidebet that before June is out, one of the
duet will be down to a measly 200 lbs.
What's brewing over at Supreme Vend-
ing? The last tim e we spotted the Little
Napoleon he was so busy we thought we
were on a racetrack. It can't be those
three arcades and handling the Buckley
Music System that sends Willie Blatt going
round and round ?
Paul Glimas is not taking the Greek de-
feat too hard. Opined Paul: "We Greeks
haven't started yet. They may have driven
us out but before we're through we'll
make the N. G.'s feel like a Saturday night
in Tombstone with the bars shut down."
Sam (Commodore) Yollen looks forward
to a commission in the U. S. Navy as the
government is sounding out all owners of
boats as to whether they would care to
join up. Sam's difficulty is deciding
whether he ought to be just plain Commo-
