LOS ANGELES- Showings of the 1942
Seeburg and Wurlitzer phonographs high-
lighted the month of January for Southern
Cal. coinmen. California Simplex held open
house two days to show off the new Wur-
litzers and the E. T. Mape Music Co. used
two days to invite musicmen in to see the
new Seeburg models. Despite limited de-
liveries both organizations booked a heavy
business on the new ones.
Lou Favorite made the rounds in San
Diego mid-month and broke bread with
Bucknam, Dawes and several other coinmen.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred McKee, of Muto-
scope, are back at their home in Glendale
after a four week trip to New York City.
A. E. Kane, Juneau, Alaska, coinman,
didn't let the war stop his annual visit to
the states and visited the coast boys on his
way East.
A. M. Keene, Taft holdout, postcarded
from Mexico City midmonth that the bull-
fighting is still the same below the border.
Automatic Vendors have moved to new
and larger quarters at 1320 Venice Blvd.,
just a few steps from THE REVIEW.
C. P. Pettibone, Eugene, Ore., came
South on January 26th to look over local
vendor offerings.
T. P. Kelly, Olympia, Wash. operator,
spent a week in January in Los Angeles and
San Diego. First time T. P. had been in
L. A. for 14 yean.
Another northwesterner to visit these
parts was Jim Harris of Vancouver, Wash.,
who was squired around town by Tony
Parina and Earl McNeil.
And still another from up yonder was
Walter S. Solomon of Western Distributors
in Seattle. Solly dropped in at THE REVIEW
on February 5th but missed the 4:30 closing
and we missed Solly. So sorry, Solly!
We nominate The Billboard as winner of
the tin moustache cup for constant repeti-
tion of the same news item. In the current
issue we read for the 12th time that "the
Laymons will soon be moving into their
new home at Pacific Palisades." Congratu-
lations Billy boy!
W. Kay Grundy is off on a trip through
the middlewest in behalf of the Dunning
Viewer and the Shipman line.
Harry Holdsworth, former music~a'n, now
a private in the Uncle's forces, pipes from
the Red Cross Hospital in Salt Lake City
that he is now minus his tonsils.
Irv. Rich, Consolidated Novelty Co., is
an air raid warden.
Archie Riddell has started a guessing
contest on his Wired Music set-up in Pasa-
dena. Deposit a quarter and five blind
tunes come over the wire. If you can guess
the artist on any of them you win an extra
Mention of TJiE COIN
record of your own choosing. Pick all five
and the girl will play you five tunes you'd
like without additional charge.
Joe Richarme, Long Beach Coin major-
domo, is back at home plate after a week
near Phoenix helping a brother-in-law get
his acreage ready for alfalfa production.
Joe returned none the worse for the hard
licks he put in from sun up until sun down.
Not many in the industry could do it.
Mac Mohr is oozing the praises of Evans
Duck Pin Alleys.
Percy Shields exudes optimism over the
future and says, "It's an operator's year if
there ever was one." Perc is well stocked
with used equipment and enjoying a neat
business.
At press time APDI execs. were watching
the Eastern skies for the appearance of
Prexy Raymond who promised to fly to the
coast from New York shortly after the first
of the month.
Another spot where gloom doesn't flourish
is at the Jack Gutshall Distributing Co.
where genial Jack has the same broad smile
for all. Jack's doing his share of the busi·
ness available and has several things up his
sleeve to slip to the boys when the time is
ripe.
"I had 16,000 feet of cable to sell so
I took a small ad in THE REVIEW," said
Bill Simmons of Packard. "I received
orders for more than 200,000 feet
which proves conclusively that if you
have something to sell you can reach
the boys through THE REVIEW." Thanks,
Bill.
Mac Sanders holds the undisputed lead
when it comes to sales on Arcade Equip·
ment. Mac has specialized in this field and
is doing a terrific job.
Coindom descended upon the Antelope
Valley Country Club near Lancaster on Feb.
8th to attend the wedding of Margaret
Johan to Frank S. Root, key-pin in valley
operating circles. Following the wedding at
8 p. m. was a reception that lasted and
lasted. Everyone had a go'od time.
