$1 Gum Machine Tax Asked
POCATELLO, Idaho.-H. C. Myers, op-
erator of a number of ball gum machines,
has launched a campaign to reduce the tax

chines before the manufacturing deadline
Oil May 1st and are now supplying op-
erators with the few remaining units.
Grip Tease is an entirely new type of
amusement device for the harder you

hand, two hands, and th en insert several
more pennies to see all of the pictures. It
is a real Burlesque strip tease from start
to finish showing girl stars of the Broadway

can be readily changed so that the machine
is always brand new to even steady patrons.
