Monarch Games Praised
CHICAGO.-Al Stern, Monarch Coin
Machine Co. official, reports the receipt
of an interesting communication from an
over-seas customer.
"The letter was forwarded to us via
clipper some weeks ago," Stern said, "and
it is of special interest for several reasons.
It indicates that in spite of our cus-
tomer's operation under difficulties during
time of war, his coin operated equipment
plays a big part in helping to keep up
morale. But what was of most direct in-
terest to Monarch was the writer's com-
ment on the condition of the games we
shipped to him. You can imagine how sat-
isfying it was to read statements that said:
'Having ordered used machines, I didn't
expect that the machines would be so
good. I was truly startled at the fine ap- '
pearance . . . we really owe the fine con-
dition of the shipment to your excellent
packing and crating.' The writer ended
his letter to us by advising that an order
for additional machines would probably be
forwarded soon."
Declares Stern, " Praise of this nature is
frequent, but none-the-Iess welcome for its
repetition by not only our distant cus-
tomers but from those within the li'mits of
the country itself. The quality of our games
is not accidental but results from a well-
planned and strictly adhered-to policy of
giving coin men equipment upon which
they can depend in every respect."
