the manufacture of pressing equipment and
other materials used in the manufacture of
discs, even more millions of records should
be sold in 1942.
Credit for the steady r eturn of records
into prominence must go to J ack and Dave
Kapp of Decca, who were first to strike out
with a really good 35-cent disc back in
1934; Manie Sacks and his associates at
Columbia, and Leonard Joy and staff at
RCA-Victor.
As the year draws to a close a new firm
is being launched by Eli Oberstein, once of
Victor, later head of U. S. Record Corp.,
which flopped into bankruptcy, and now
active again with a new label which has
Blue Barron and Paul Whiteman as attrac·
tions, among others. His road will be
tough. The Big Three, Decca, Victor and
Columbia, are too far ahead. Oberstein's
knowledge of the industry is not to be ques-
tioned, though, and possibly he has a batch
of original ideas which may prove fruitful.
But it will take time.
Public's Still Boss
America's more than 400,000 automatic
phonographs are the goal of every record-
ing artist nowadays, and every master made
in the studio is accompanied by a prayer
that it will be "the one" which will "hit the
boxes." That means gold, loot, money. But
it's still the public which makes a record a
sensa tional hit. "Piano Concerto" proved
that. Freddy Martin's and Claude Thorn-
hill's platters, as well as Carmen Caval-
laro's, were in the 100,000 class before the
phonograph operators caught on and started
pilin/! the wax high in their machines. Th e
public, as always in show business be it
motion pix, bands, burlesque, radio 'or the
•
circus, makes 'em or breaks 'em.'

CHICAGO-"Remember Pearl Harbor,"
a new patriotic record now available, de-
serves to be placed on all automatic phono·
graphs in the country, preferably in the
No. 1 or No.2 position, believes the Auto-
matic Phonograph Manufacturers Assn.
Increasing importance of automatic
phonographs in the nation's Victory Pro-
gram, in developing and maintaining civil·
ian morale, was simultaneously stressed by
the APMA, who asserted that the -new
record will mark a substantial contribution
by the phonograph industry toward this
•
objective.

CHICAGO - "It is always a pleasure to
visit the Pacific Coast," says P at Buckley,
president of Buckley Music System, upon
his return to Chicago. He spent the last ten
days visiting the important distributing cen-
ters in the far West.
"I like to make this trip every few
months," says Buckley. "Frequent trips and
visits with our distributors in different sec·
tions are what keep our con tact with the
users of Buckley Music Boxes.
"Bill Corcoran, our Pacific Coast Dis-
trict Sales Manager reports that the distrib-
utors in tha t section of the country are go-
ing strong. Corcoran was one of the first
men to see the future for Buckley Music
Systems. As a result, he is one of the
men in our organization who has han dled a
large volume of business durin g the year
of 1941. In talking with me, he tells me
that the operators find that the Buckley
Illuminated Boxes with the Buckley com·
plete systems are still working out to be the
best equipment for them.
" Through intensively covering the large
territory from Mexico to Canada, Corcor·
an has gotten a great distribution of our
products in that section. During the past
few weeks, I have visited other parts of
the country and find that our music sys-
tems have been well introduced practically
everywhere. We look forward to the de-
mand for ihe coming year to be even
.greater than it was in the record year of
1941."
