Nathanson Adds Space
LOS ANGELES - The tremendous de·
mand for Panoram Peep Show Conversions
since the first announcement in THE RE·
VIEW, and the addition of the Standard and
DeLuxe model, has made it necessary for
Wm. Nathanson to add additional quarters
at 2739% Brooklyn Avenue for manu·
facturing activities. The demand for units
continues brisk and more than 25 leading
jobbers and distributors across the country,
including International Mutoscope Cor·
pora tion, are handling the Conversions.
Nathanson has expanded and is now in·
vading the film producing field and has
already made his first film designed ex·
clusively for the coin·movie trade. Initial
announcement is in this issue.
At present Nathanson has one of the
largest stocks of used Panorams in the
country and undoubtedly the largest stock
on the Pacific Coast.

FOR
MARCH
1944
CHICAGO-Following close on the heels
of the announcement that Jack Nelson had
left Rock.Ola Manufacturing Corp. as Vice
President and General Sales Manager,
comes the announcement that I. F. Webb
has also severed his connections with th e
organization. Webb had been with Rock·
Ola for a number of years and was active
in promoting the sales of automatic phono·
graphs.
His plans for the future were not reo
vealed.
Kearns Buying Big
LOS ANGELES-Tommy Kearns who
tarries a t a ranch in Chatsworth when in
the States, and maintains a big jobbing
and distributing establishment in the Ha·
waiian Islands, is making the rounds and
buying again for his Island outlets. Kearns
states the demand for merchandise from
the States is terrific in the Islands and
ample cash is waiting for anything that can
be shi pped from here.

Father-So your new boy friend is one
of the big guns in industry?
Daughter-Sure, he's been fired seven
times that I know of!
He Likes Us!
THE REVIEW:
Your "dun" is the most "come·on
dun" I ever received and you will
find my check enclosed.
Even though I am out of the Coin
Machine operating business. I am
still anxious to tell you that your
magazine is worth double the price
to anyone who wants to know what
really is going on with the folks that
are out in front helping to win the
freedom and future security that our
forefathers laid down in our Consti-
tution. (I'm talking about our kind
of folks.)
I may not ever re-enter the oper-
ating business, but I wish to take
this opportunity to tell you that I
think you are doing a great big job,
and as long as you are on the beam
like you have always been, I want
your magazine. And, if you feel jus-
tified in raising your charge, just
add it to the "dun" and don't let me
lose one issue. That's how I feel
about THE REVIEW.
