Coin Machine Review (& Pacific ...)

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
LOS ANGELES- Whil e the " take" with
operators in all parts of this area remains
at a more than sa tisfactory level, th e sale
of equipment in jobbing and distributing
circl es during September was particularly
slow. Inactivity was due to the ceiling
regula tions placed in effect on September
1st. Boys did not know just where they
stood and how the rulin gs would be inter·
preted. However by th e first of thi s month
most of them got the dust out of their eyes
and sa les started in again at a brisk rate.
In fact Bill Happ el, of Badger Sales, reo
lated that the first five days of Octob er were
better than the whole month of Se ptember.
Howard Grohe, Cliff Rigdon , Clyde
Baerresen and Robert Causey, all old time
operators, made it to Paul Laymon's on
October 12th and chewed th e fat around
the cracker barrel while di scussin g th e
days that use to be.
W. E. Simmons, just back from an east·
ern jaunt which took him to Indianapolis
and way points and saw him buy and sell
seven routes of co in-controlled equipment
on the way, reveals he will leave on Novem-
ber 3rd for a trip through Texas.
Recent out-of-towners spotted on the coin
machine rialto included: Joe Richarme and
L. A. Barnes, Long Beach ; Tommy Mason,
San Ysidro ; 1. B. McGowan, Dunsmuir ;
Bill Sparrow, Santa Barbara ; Mr. and Mrs.
Elbee Gerson, Bakersfi eld; Ted Bloomer,
Mojave; H. A. Presher a nd Art Dawes, San
Diego ; Ray Faust, Santa Ana; E. E. Ben-
j amin , Santa Monica and Vern Owen, Ban-
ning.
With " meat" as their objective Jack Gut-
shall, Jack Pfeffer, Al Cooper, Carol Leinert
and Pete Schneider left here on October
13th. The meat they seek is naturally
venison and they hope to return on the
25th with a buck each.
Lucille and Ray Smith, Barstow, did it
again. They came to town, yessir, just as
reported in almost every issue heretofore,
but this time J ack Gutshall took th em over
and how! He wined and d ined them and
gave them an evening lon g to be remem-
bered. Following week the Gutshalls were
invited to enjoy the Smith hospitality and
that of the thriving metropolis of Barstow.
Something kept them from going. A singing
comb prize to .the best guesser.
Russ Collyer has added two panel trucks
for servicing of hi s cigarette machines.
Phil Robinson makes trips to Bakersfield
regularly to look after his interests there.
D. H. Osborn, Piedniont, spent the early
part of October in Los Angeles visiting his
father, A. D. Osborn, and conferring with
W. E. Simmons on a few plans for the
future.
Acting on complaints from ministers of
National City th at gambling was rampant
in th e town, police revoked the lice nses on
60 marble games September 24th.
Bob Reeder makes regul ar trips into th e
bi g town from Glendale to pi ck up equip-
ment for refinishing. Slots are Bob's
specialty.
Ollie and F red Trevilli an, Santa Bar-
bara, visited the local coin chute gentry on
September 28th.
Wilbur Radeline, servi ce ma n for David·
son Brothers, cigarette operators, operates a
nifty gift shop and stationery store a t 6th
a nd Wes tmoreland as a sidelin e.
Mary J ane Dick, private secre tary for
Bill Happel left town on the 16th for New
York and Boston. Mary J ane hop es to
reach Boston before her soldi er-intended is
shipped out. If she ma kes the grade the
two will be married before he leaves.
