boat for a bit of deep sea fishing, returning
with a huge game fish which neither is
able to identify, but which will be stuffed
and framed in Ideal's office and showroom.
Carl is becoming a heavy traveler, what
with a trip to Mexico and the Miami jaunt
a few weeks apart.
Ted Key, Farmington, Missouri, opera-
tor, is scratching his head in amazement.
He hopefully put in an order for a new
Rock·OIa Tone Column with his distribu·
tor, was notified three days later to come
and pick it up. "After I waited eight
weeks for a single part for another ma-
chine," Ted muses.
Eugene Cotter, Frankfort, Ill., operator
who is considerably enlarging his string
because of the oil boom near his city, pur-
chased new Rock·Ola equipment during the
month past.
Abe Jeffers, president, and all members
of the Missouri Cigarette Merchandiser's
Association, are patt in g themselves on the
back heartily as the result of a final price
standardization for cigarettes within the
ci ty limits. This, setting an ultimate price
of 15 cents for all popular brands, has
eliminated the neces ity of burning the
midnight oil inserting coins under th e
wra ppers of cigarette packs, has cut in
half the load under which most operators
have been working.
Harvey Brown, Festus, Mo., operator,
has purchased a new two· ton truck for
hauling equipment over widely scattered
spots. To give authenticity to his adver·
tised title of, "The Music Man," the truck
has a loudspeaker system; will play hit-
of·the·week phonograph records while in
service. Brown feels that it pay to ad-
vertise!
A somewhat unusual promotion is being
staged by W. Betz and Martin Balensiefer
of W. B. Novelty Co., who are holding
a huge sale to the public of old recondi-
tioned phonographs for home painting and
use in ra thskellers, party rooms, etc. A
huge red and white s ign has been hung
acros the front of the store, reading "Non·
Coin Operated Phonographs for Rathskel-
lers, for Your Parties! $25.00 Up!" Thus
sellin g to the "lay public," Betz and Balen·
siefer have a long list of antiquated rna·
chines, taken off routes in Wichita, Kan.,
Kansas City and 51. Louis, to offer and are
finding the response excell ent.
The bowling team of Ideal Novelty Co.
has won eight out of twelve matches in the
City League, as good a record as it ac·
complished during th e whole 1940 season,
according to Leo Wichlan, veteran captain
of the team.

Melvin Winston has been appointed au·
ditor for Ideal ovelty Co., replacing Al
Keshner, who is toting a machine gun in
Louisiana with Uncle Sam's new army.
Sam Singer of Royal Novelty Co., after
getting settled in a new location, bought
himself a new grey Oldsmobile. In two
weeks he has managed to bang up the rear
fender and the radiator grille, is looking
for a complete accident to put him out of
commission entirely.
Leo Bode, South St. Louis operator, is ill
with influenza. Friends sent him a portable
radio, flowers, and a glowing account of
the recent Cardinal-Dodger baseball series
to keep him happy.
Famous-Barr Co., largest middlewestern
department store, has recently placed soft-
drink coin operated vending machines on
all floors for the benefit of employees who
voted on the proposition.
The Missouri Amusement Machine Ope-
rator's Association, headed by Louis Mor·
ris, met recently a t the Melbourne Hotel,
and planned for the coming electi'on of offi-
cers. A commi ttee from the association
which will make recommendations to the
local tax office as to how the pintable tax
ca n be best collected, has gotten 100 per
cent cooperation from operator members.
Results of several test cases in local courts
over pinball legality and other subjects
were aired at the meeting. Harry Raiffe,
who recently became a father, was given
a huge cigar by the membership.
