CHICAGO-AI Stern, Monarch Coin Ma·
chine Company official, reports that recent
addi'tions to stock make the present Mon·
arch supply of games the most diversified
in company history.
"Our unceasing efforts to make a wide
variety of good equipment available to our
c ustomers have reflected greatly to the ad·
vantage of coinmen everywhere," Stern said.
"In spite of the fact that we offer equip·
ment of a high quality that is practically
unmatched elsewhere, we are maintaining
a strict policy with regard to prices. Ma·
chines that might be sold without question
for a high price are offered at our self·
imposed ceiling prices, making them the
country's outstanding values. While such
action with regard to holding prices down
may be violating the law of supply and de·
mand to some extent, we are getting our reo
ward in satisfied customers who repeat and
who form an automatic pool from which
we can replenish our stocks with games
that have served their purpose on the origi·
nal locations.
"The circle begun by our sale of games
at low prices is a round robin of good·will
activi ty involving operators and Monarch,
and it ci rcumvents the possibility of game
shortages."

"Siamese Rats" Click
SAN ANTONIO, Texas-The most hated
men in the world are today making money
for smart operators who have adapted the
"Siamese Rats" to their Chicken Sam oper·
ations .
The "Siamese Rats" is a clever double
wooden composition figure showing Hitler
on one side and Hirohito on the other. It
reverses as the machine operates and the
figure, legs and scenery provided, are pro·
cessed in sixteen colors.
The entire idea is that of Harold W.
Thompson of this city who is working far
into the night to rush these conversion units
to operators in all parts of the country who
have sensed their earning power through
tests made on their own equipment.
Said Thompson, "No doubt you are
aware of the fact that several conversion
units have been offered for Chicken Sam
and Jailbird machines, but the 'Siamese
Rats' unit has proven very outstanding over
all other similar units. As a matter of fact,
we have received information from opera·
tors where they replaced their J ap con·
version unit with a 'Siamese Rats' unit, it
more than doubled the play."
