ard was adjudged a bankrupt in a petition
filed by him in the District Court of the
United States here on April 4th.

Phono; and more recently has been at the

dozens of local firms Woodard went back

Mape Warns Operators
To Up Phono License
LOS ANGELES-With a series of bulle·
tins L. B. McCreary of the E. T. Mape
Music Co. has been warning music opera·
tors that when the small stock of Seeburg
phonographs and boxes now on hand in the
San Francisco and Los Angeles offices are
disposed of there positively will not be any
more new equipment from Seeburg for the
duration.
Said Mac, "To impress you with the ser·
iousness of the situation, may we say that if
each operator in Southern California or-
dered one new phonograph and only four
wall boxes with it, our stock would be en·
tirely gone and many orders would have to
be returned unfilled."
Mape Music is now restricting the pur·
chase of each operator and more drastic
rationing seems to be in the offing.
LOS ANGELES-On April 2 n d the City
Council voted to instruct the City Attorney
to draw an ordinance which will increase
license fees for maintaining and operating
automatic phonographs from $1 per year
to $5 per year.
New Patriotic Speaker
A complete change·over consisting of 4
Jap cutouts and streamers, each separate
and easily · attached in two minutes, com·
prise the unit.
ST. PAUL, Minn.-Wright, Inc. announ·
ces in this issue a new Patriotic Speaker
designed and built for the best locations
in America and rightly named "The Fight·
ing American."
Douglas Wright, President of Wright,
Inc., stated: "We have eliminated all frills ,
such as the harness to go in the record
player, and we have put the price just as
low as is humanly possible. This new cabi·
net is something to be really proud of and
when you have the opportunity of seeing
one I know you will agree with me."
Timely as tomorrow's newspaper the
speaker carries th e portrait of an Amed.
can Doughboy on the grille.
