ers' Havens. Miller wound up by saying:
"As soon as that is over we will be spon-
soring something else."
Associated Music Operators, Inc., with
headquarters at the Western Merchandise
Mart, San Francisco, held Its second meet-
ing on the 9th of this month. In keeping
with its program to bring the industry
first hand information, and of establishing
bet t e r correlation between the various
phases of the industry, two guest speakers
addressed the group. One of the speakers
was H. S. Ayers of the WPB who had just
returned from Washington, D. C., and
brought the latest available information.
The other speaker was Paul E. Feather-
stone of Capitol Records. L. H. Jones, presi-
dent, presided. W. J . Varley, secretary man-
ager, acted as. chairman, introducing the
speakers. Johnny Ruggiero attended for the
first time having. been away vacationing in
Carmel- and Monterey at the previous occa-
sion. Johnny Ruggiero is San Francisco
Manager of Jack R. Moore Co., Seeburg
distributor. It was also a "first" for E. M.
'Dutton of Viking Specialty Co., Inc. Others
noticed, not mentioned last month, were:
A. Frye, .Warren M. Miller, Harvey Paige,
R. R. Pulvermiller, John Pederson, Al Ca·
micia, and C. E. Leatherbury.
Ernie Brennan, San Francisco manager
of General Music Co., distributor of Buck-
ley Wall Box Music System, enjoyed a
three weeks vacation in Los Angeles. Prior
to returning home, Ernie stopped off at
Marysville to help negotiate a deal for
Robert Colyer, originally from Long Beach,
Cal. Brennan said that it has always been
his firm's policy to assist operators finan-
cially and in other ways to facilitate their
activities. Ernie said - that the Marysville
transaction consisted of financing two
routes for Colyer by purchasing Kirby-Coin
Amusement Co. of Yuba City, and the
t1:a~sville operation ot Mr. and Mrs. El-
don Ramsey. The equipment consists prin-
cipally of music boxes; a large number 'of
cigarette vending machines and pinball
games. We are also indebted to Ernie
Brennan for the information that Louis
Grosso, owner of Grosso Amusement Co.,
has bought a swell home on 24th Ave., in
the Sunset district. There was quite a
housewarming party with approximately
90 guests celebrating the occasion.
Most of the data gleaned was prior to
the Declaration of Peace when a long . war
with Japan still seemed a reasonable esti·
mate, consequently all the prognostications
' regarding new equipment were definitely
on the pessimistic side. The latter part of
1946 was about the best anyone would ven-
ture. It certainly would be illuminating to
get reactions now. Having to meet a dead-
line this will have to be postponed to next
month. We simply mention this as an ex-
planation why many gloomy forecasts have
been suppressed.
Speaking from the standpoint of vending
machine operators, Dick Parina, head of
R.- A. Parina & Co., said that the most
urgent immediate need is to restore long
disused equipment to adequate function-
ing. Lack of supplies has relegated vend-
ing machine equipment to basements and
attics where they have been steadily de-
teriorating. Even with the best prospects
of resumption of manufacture of new
equipment it will take some time before
they become available; in the meantime
every effort should be made to give the
best possible service with the equipment
on hand. Said Dick Parina: "Concerning
ourselves, our most immediate problem is
cleaning up our equipment and putting it
into working condition."
Speaking from the distributor's angle
(for products of Arthur H. DuGrenier,
Inc.), Tony Parina said: "We are very
active in our immediate territory with post-
war plans and we have booked some satis-
factory business for DuGrenier equipment,
which we hope to fill in the not too distant
future. Operators are getting ready for the
day when cigarettes bee 0 m e plentiful
again."
Hank Maser and his wife, Mary, left last
week for Chicago and expect to stay away
for a month.

the Plantation, a night club at Coeur

modeling in an ultra modern fashion this
fall.
