.operat.ors in the 1. A. a rea. This is their
f.ourth pr.oducti.on a nd will b e released hy
M.on.ogram . The b.oys mail ed .out 850 passes

I sh.ould really blush. In the June issue
we mentiDned tha t Cant.or's W estern Vend·

"CantDr is clDsi'ng his l.ocal establishment
as s.o.on as the l.ocalities take his machines
away fr.om him." N.o s.o.oner did THE R E·

pIes, that they did n.ot sell lDcati.ons. Mrs.
Cant.or a ppa rently didn' t l.o.oking up the

There is a difference between l.ocalities a nd
