Coin Machine Review (& Pacific ...)

one of the favored spots in local coindom
along about Christmas time will be the
offices of the Jack Gutshall Distributing
Co. For J;!ck has acquired, heaven help
us, the most entrancing nude this rer'lrter
has ever spent an hour gazing at. :~omes
Christmas Jack expects to share prints of
her loveliness with those of you who have
answered his ads in THE REVIEW. Better
turn to Jack's ad now and get your name
on the list.
Fred White, Visalia, made it to Laymon's
the last of September to fill his equipment
requirements.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gordon, San Diego,
arrived in town on the 3rd to spend a few
days with the Minthornes, Laymons, Mac
Mohr and other local coin luminaries.
Harry figured he should start home on the
6th for something told him he should. It
was good that he did for the County Board
of Supervisors were at work during his
absence and had their surprise waiting for
him upon his arrival. (See news report
elsewhere in this issue.)
Allen
Anderson, Shafter, was in on
the 3rd to pick up equipment at local j-ob-
bers. Allan stopped in to chin with Mac
Mohr about the good old days before this
and that.
Ed Map~, San Francisco, was in town on
the 2nd and 3rd and placed a nice order
with Badger Sales for Mills Three and Four
Bells to be shipped to San Francisco and
Berkeley.
Nick Carter, owner of the Nikabob Co.,
is happy about the reports emanating from
the sanitarium concerning Mrs. Carter. She
is gaining steadily and very encouraging
reports are coming from the doctors. The
Carter children are in a Girls' School dur-
ing mamma's stop at the " Get Well" sta-
tion.
Art Dawes, San Diego, dropped in at
local spots on September 26th. Art makes
the 1. A. trip regularly to keep up on
things.
William Shorey, San Bernardino oper-
ator, was pegged by this reporter loading
games at Paul Laymon's.
Jack Gerety has taken over the A. Ber-
man Arcade in Bakersfield.
Tommy Kearns, Honolulu, T. H., is still
on the mainland picking up equipment for
shipment to the islands as cargo space per-
mits. Tommy handles Decca records, paints,
radios, and h~lf a dozen other items ex-
clusively for the islands. AND, if you run
into Tommy, make him prove his star
sapphire has a six prong star. It's a 7%
carat beauty.
Mac Mohr has announced, in this issue,
a new servi'ce for western operators. His
firm is now repairing, refinishing, repaint-
ing and overhauling slots. Mac has an ex-
pert, draft deferred, in charge of the work
and the samples we saw are really good.
L. Goldie, San Francisco, trekked
south the first week in October to compare
notes and argue with Mac Mohr about
equipment shortages.
Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Presher, San Diego,
were in town on the 6th and 7th and spent
considerable time with 1. B. McCreary at
MapeMusk
Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Summers, Montana
operators, vacationed in the Southland in
late September, and ordered a nice bunch
of equipment from Laymon's to follow them
home.
Jack Gutshall is leaving on the 16th for
his yearly visit to Fillmore, Utah, and this
year, as always, Jack is fortified with a
permit for a buck and doe . . . and, may
we comment, he'll get them. Accompanying
Jack on this sortie will be the faithful Jack
Pfeiffer; one of his location owners, Pete
Snyder; and Carol Leinart. They expect to
he gone 10 days.

The Gutshalls make Big Bear Lake regu-
larly and almost any Friday afternoon will
see them getting ready for a week-end visit
