until th ere is a break in the casing or other
damage to the side· walls.
One local operating firm, reporting on
use of recaps, says: "We like to have them
recapped when there is still a little bead
left on the tire. We check our ti res every
100 miles or at least once every week. We
drive ·slower, take curves itt very slow speed,
make no quick stops, don't rub against
curbs and layout our service calls to
achieve the grea test economy of operation."
Nick Fasci and Abe Vanderwood are
looking to an increased profit out of auto·
matic music in 1942 through more sales of
new and used phonograph records from
their Mo·Kan offices. Located in a busy
southside business section, the boys have in·
stalled an amplifier that continuously pours
into the street a sales·getting message. In
their windows they have installed a large
poster for " This Week's Hit Parade" and
they make no bones about the fact th at
they're really music merchants. .
Carl Hoelzel can't see anything but a
large growth of sho.ps and an increased
market for used equipment in 1942. "All
table operators are going to have to learn
more about the machines they operate," he
says. "They're going to have to plan reg·
ular bring·into.the·shop·for.overhaul sched·
ules and they're going to have to check
locations closer to make sure they're profit·
able. This stuff of taking locations hit·and·
miss is going to be out in the future. Op·
erators are all going to learn that the
merchandise they sell must be sold at a
profit, that you can' t expect one ~ood loca·
tion to carry several weaker ones.
Leroy Washington of United has just be·
come the father of another draft exemp·
tion.
Hobbies, Inc., program for the new year,
includes one regular meeting each month,
held on the first Tuesday of the month at
the regular meeting place at the Hotel Pres·
ident. The Board of Directors will continue
their twice·a·month meeting.
Tony Varetti, formerly of United and now
of Uncle Sam's Army, got his first leave
recently during the holidays and headed
directly" for Coin Machine Row. Tony is
learning to be an Army cook at Fort Leaven·
worth.

Tommie Thompson just back from a trip
to the South and West reports Coin Ma·
chine Arcades are springing up in every
town of any size in the area. All arcade
types of equipment are being featured and
the places are doing a land-office business.
A. N. Rice and son, Jerry, have just
opened a new arcade in Joplin, Mo., and it
has been playing to capacity houses. Well
known to Kansas City operators, A. N. and
Jerry have been very active in coin rna·
chine circles recently in Wichita.
Operator Zor Gershon vacationed in New
York City over the holidays. Zor has the
distinction, along with Vernon Sperry of
Topeka, of being an outstanding musician.
Hi's study of music at one time took him to
school in Berlin and for a later period he
was in the business professionally.
Which sets us to wondering what has
happened to Vernon Sperry's music room
since he sold out his music operation in
Topeka recently. Anyone that has heard
Vernon play is quite sure that he will never
be too far away from a grand piano.
The two Franks, Fasone and Buccero,
spread their Chrishmas cheer far and wide
with gifts of hundreds of automatic pencils
to locations and friends. For 1942 they see
more and more locations going on the 20·
cents per pack of cigarettes basis.
