These games have enjoyed continuous play. In fact, their performance has broken all
records. And there's a reason for such outstanding performance. It' s because United

each individual job. , •

undertaken and is a simple one. A top is
next set into the cabinet and should be
about two inches below the tops of the
ends, front and back. This is to allow t he
bags of mixed coins to be dumped into it
ready for sorting. A hole must be cut in to
this top just above the feeder trough near
the right and in order to allow the coins
to be pushed into it.
The sorter is now ready to work (we
hope) and all you need to do is put your
mixed nickels and dimes into the top, push
them down into the hole and t urn the
crank.
If other than nickels and dimes are to be
sorted, all you have to do is to put in more
cylinders, one inside the other, with grad-
ually smaller perforations, from the inside
out and set in more catchers.
Cig. Prices Hiked
WASHINGTON-An increase of % to 1
cent per pack on so called "economy"
brands of cigarettes was authorized Sep-
tember 4th by the Office of Price Admin-
istration. Increase was permitted because
of increased production costs.
OP A authorized a retail selling price
on economy brands of 13 cents for a single
package and 12% cents a package in sales
of more than one, whether regular or king
size.
Brands affected include Avalons, Beech·
nuts, Dominos, Marvels, Paul Jones, Sensa-
tions, Twenty Grandt. and Wings. They rep-
resent about ten per· cent of all cigarettes
sold in the United States, according to
OP A. Prices of standard brands are no t
affected, for manufacturers have been able
to absorb increased production costs
through increased sales.
CHICAGO
LOS ANGELES-Police are on the
lookout for an unidentified man and woman
for questioning in connection with the
August 22nd abduction and robbery of
Mrs. Noreen Keene, wife of A. M. Keene,
prominent coin machine operator and pub-
lisher of Taft, California.
Mrs. Keene reported she lost $11,185 in
jewels, cash and an ermine coat after
meeting the couple in the cocktail lounge
of a downtown hotel, enjoying a few
drinks which she believes must have con-
tained knock-out drops and then regaining
consciousness on the parkway lawn in the
2700 block on West 15th street.
Stolen from her person were several dia-
mond rings, diamond earrings, a wrist
watch set with diamonds and $60 in cash.
On returning to her hotel she also found
her $550 ermine coat had been stolen from
her room.
Jersey in War Work
SINGAC, N. J .-The Jersey Specialty
Co. has just completed a large army con-
tract for the Medical Corps which con-
sisted of winding over 40,000 small spools
of resistance wire.
A complete work shop was set up on one
side of the firm's display rooms. Three
spooling machines, motors and a large frame
for the wire to run through were installed.
"The work was thoroughly enjoyable,"
said Pete Hagedoorn, head of Jersey Spec-
ialty, "for we felt that we wanted to do
something to hel p in the war effort in a
small way and still continue our business."

NO MORE PHOTO TRAYS
We're completely SOLD OUT! A scant dozen or two samples are still
available in our offices but our factory has no more PHOTO TRAYS until
precious Shellac is again available. When orders on hand are completed
we'll discontinue the manufacture of PHOTO TRAYS until shellac is again
available. Current indications are that this time is not too far away.
BUT UNTIL tHEN
we're mighty sorry. We know you've made money on PHOTO TRAYS and
found them most unusual items-and in true faithfulness to the Industry
'We serve-we've held it exclusively for members of the Coin Machine
Industry.
WHEN WE DO RESUME PRODUCTION
it will be with an amplified line which will startle you. We know your
wants, your preferences, your desires, and this new line has been built to
please your tastes-AND, what's more important, THAT OF YOUR CUS-
TOMER!
WATCH FOR SENSATIONAL OFFER
in October. We've salvaged some of the "cream" of the present issue of
PHOTO TRAYS and we have copyright owners' permission to make a
sensational offer. You can remember your friends, location owners, etc_,
at Christmas with someth~g really exclusive by partaking of this grand
opportunity. Watch for full details in the October REVIEW.
