factory service and sales representative for
the Rock·Ola Manufacturing Corp_, has
joined the organization of Jean Minthorne,
Rock-Ola Distributor for Southern Cali-

connection after ten years to take over out-
side service for Minthorne and handles the
office and sales while Minthorne is out in
the field calling on operator-customers.
Ernie Richardson, who has been with
Minthorne for the past three years, re-
mains in charge of the shop and Quay
Sargeant, here for the past year, holds the
position of outside territory man.

Orders Post War Phonos
CHICAGO-By his confidence in the fu-
ture, Aaron. Goldsmith of The Hub En-
terprises of Baltimore, Maryland, makes all
of us realize that we "let down" too easily
when things get a little tough, especially
now with conditions as they are.
On a recent trip to Chicago, Goldsmith
showed his confidence in the future and in
the products of the manufacturer he has
been representing by placing a bona fide .
order with the Rock·Ola Manufacturing
Corp. for five carloads of the first phono-
graph manufactured by the corporation
after the war is over.
Goldsmith is one ~of the pioneers in the
Coin Machine Industry and a credit to the
business as he is held in such high regard
by his customers, prospects, and friends.
He has been distributor for Rock-Ola for
the past 5 years and has done a wonderful
job in the sale of the Commando Phono-
graph.
With Goldsmith on his trip to Chicago
was Lou Hinden of the Sales Department
of the Hub Enterprises.
