The Washburns have started to move
part of their stock to their new building
out on Pico. Surplus games and other
equipment have been moved to the third
!loor in the new building, and more will
be transferred when the remodeling is
finished on the first two floors.
Jane Porter dashed out of Jack Gut-
shall's on the 13th to meet her discharged
sailor-hubby Howard, and launch upon a
belated honeymoon. "Smoky" Leinert is
at his old job at Gutshall's. Ray Suhr
has been off for 30 days due to illness.
Charlie Robinson is learning travelling
the hard way. On his last trip to Chicago
he was separated from his 3 pieces of
baggage on the return flight and ended
up in town with only one bag. Hasty
wires uncovered the missing pieces along
the line at various stops. Luckily they
came in on subsequent flights, otherwise
Mrs. C. A. would be minus a beautiful
new fur coat that Charlie bought her in
Chicago.
Armain Huntsman, Long Beach, has pur-
chased the Nick Carter route of music
and remotes in metropolitan Los Angeles.
Deal was engineered by Dee's Service
Shop.
Tom Wall and Earl Hoagland· will be
leaving for Chicago January 4th to attend
the Furniture Show. The pair own a
furniture store in Van Nuys and while
in the Windy City Tom will be looking
in on new coin machines as well.
Bill Wolf made a brief stand at the
local oflice after returning from a week
in the San Francisco branch, and then
hied off to San Diego for a brief look-see
before departing for Cbicago on November
24th. Nona Gates, S. F. secretary, made
the Southland her rendezvous on her vaca-
tion which was timed to coincide with
Ambassador heard this remark from the
clerk: "I'll have the boy take up your bag
for you." To which the self-projected
luminary said: "Never mind, she can
walk."
George W. Coleman, veteran operator
and head of Coleman Novelty Co., Rock-
ford, Ill., is visiting the Coast for the first
time and it looks like it will be hard for
Illinois to get him back. George called
at Dee's Service Shop on his tour of
the various e tablishments and professed
a terrific interest in the natural sunshine
available here.
"The Honeydripper" dripped beautifully
for Mrs. Jack Gutshall. An exquisite
matched mink coat bespeaks the affection
Jack has for the missus.
some furlough time for a certain leather-
neck at Camp Pendleton. Poor little old
Mercury-it caught hell!
K. & M. Service is soon to break forth
with a new Dodge Truck to better service
their accounts and provide spot delivery
on new records they are handling. The
boys are going hell's fire and nothing can
stop 'em. Their records are really sizzling.
Bill Happel left the first of the month
to transact business in Chicago and his
branch office in Milwaukee. Elaine Ryan,
back from a vacation in San Francisco,
helped Billy Happel, Jr., hold down the
fort during his absence. Incidentally Billy
is out of the navy and looking prim. He
is handling sales work at Badger Sales.
Ray Smith, Lancaster, invited about 30
friends to be on hand for an elk barbe-
cue and Mr. and Mrs. Paul Laymon and
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Gutshall drove north
to represent the Coin Machine Industry in
this city. Everyone had plenty to eat,
drink and an accordionist friend of the
Laymons provided music for an old-fash-
ioned singing fest.
Paul Blair, former Exhibit Supply Rep.
and during the war years with the Play-
land Arcade on Main Street, has joined
Mac Sanders to aid him in his operations.
Jack Gutshall beat the guns again with
Christmas calendars and this year's offer-
ing surpasses anything he's offered in the
past. It's an exquisite nude, of course.
It's surprising how many poses you can
get a nude into and still have her so
interesting.
Bill Simmons is about ready to call it
a day on his remodeling and the new
offices of the Aireon Mfg. Corp. on the
tenth !loor of Bekins in Hollywood stack
up as some of the niftiest in the business.
What recent New York visitor at the
"Hank" Mas e r returned home after
spending three months in the East and re-
vealed the great news that in conjunction
with his present enterprise he will enter
the manufacturing field of the coin ma-
chine industry. Tool and die makers are
already working for Hank in Chicago and
hf\ expects to get into production by the
first of the year. Remodeling of the build-
ing at 1337 Mission Street will start soon,
the floor space enlarged and an additional
building will be acquired to house the
offices. Present plans are to come out with
seven coin slot machines. Details will be
announced later.
While Chet Garton, Northern California
and Hawaii manager of California Amuse-
ment Co., was vacationing in Southern
California, the big boss himself, M. S.
Wolf, came up from Los Angeles to take
over for the week. Wolf announced that he
had just been appointed distributor for
Bally products, sharing the franchise with
Jack R. Moore Co_ Wolf said that within
the month he expects such Bally equip-
ment to arrive as new Victory Derby, one
ball cash pay-out, new Victory Derby Spe-
cial, one ball free play, and a new Arcade
piece, the Under Sea Raider. California
Amusement Co. is distributor for Bally
equipment for California, Ariwna and Ne-
vada, and exclusive distributor of Auto-
matic Instrument Co.'s phonographs for
California, Nevada, Arizona anp the Ha-
waiian Islands.
T hough a real large volume of merchan-
dise is not expected before the early part
of the year, everyone is getting ready to
meet the demands when business activities
will rise to an unprecedented high. Ex-
pansion is the watchword both as to aug-
mented personnel and enlarged and mod-
ernized premises. Wolf said that he had
appointed Walter A. Huber sales manager
for Northern California and the Hawaiian
Islands. Ever since its opening in the
spring, California Amusement's main floor
has been a gem of a place. Now workmen
