The REVIEW Receives U. S. Treasury
Citation On Its Tenth Anniversary
J
UNE 30, 194,3 was not a bit different than any other
day in THE REVIEW'S ten years of publication . . .
but when the mail was opened IT WAS! For in that mail
came a signal honor citing THE REVIEW as the first pub-
lication in the Coin Machine Industry to receive the
coveted Treasury Citation for extraordinary service ' in
behalf of the Treasury Department's sales campaign on
War Bonds and Stamps. In the publishing field this
honor is comparable to the Army-Navy "E" and THE
REVIEW gratefully acknowledges its acceptance and is

the War Bond Staff of the Treasury Department said:
"We are happy to know of your magnificent contribution
and it is sincerely appreciated. We have issued a recom-

in time for 'your gala Tenth Anniversary Issue."

Department and Government officials and has made the
most outstanding contribution of any publication in this
Industry . . . a total of 13 full pages contributed since

less of frequency of publication, has contributed as
much_ And for the future, THE REVIEW has agreed to
donate a full page each month to the messages of the
Treasury Department- the ONLY publication in this
field to make such a contribution!

off the presses a skeptical Industry looked, wondered,
and counted the days before the idea would drop out of
existence. But on the West Coast there were a faithful
few who said "This is what we've been looking for, this
is what we want, this is what we need, and this must con-
tinue!" From this simple beginning THE REVIEW started
to serve-just a few at first-but as months went by more
and more joined the family of REVIEW regulars until to-
day we number more than 350 jobbers, distributors and
