Coin Machine Review (& Pacific ...)

L08 Angele8
One of the classiest coin radios on the
market is Melody Time, manufactured by
Commercial Radio Corp., who will occupy
quarters at 1707 W. Pico after May 1.
Melody Time comes in two models: console
and nightstand, and three finishes: blonde, •
walnut and leatherette. Both models are
equipped with ten and 25 cent chutes. Two
hundred have been contracted for by the'
Ambassador Hotel and another 200 by the
Town House. H. G. Sherry, prominent local
music man, is president of the corporation.
J. J. Greenfield of Coast Enterprises has
returned from Phoenix where he opened
offices in the Phoenix Merchandise Mart.
Coast is exclusive distributor for Tradio in
the Los Angeles area and the state.. of
Arizona, and for the Mills Hot Coffee
Vendor in Southern California.
Out-of-state distributors spotted along the
Row lining up equipment included Sam
Yaras, Texas, and Herman Rosen_berg, New
York.
Back in Southern California after a
seven-year stay in the Pacific Northwest is
Walter (Solly) Solomon, former head uf
Western Distributors in Seattle. THE RE-
VIEW'S roving reporter met Solly on the
Row, and the genial jobber was quick to
deny he has made a local connection and is
soon entering the business here_ "I am
staying in Los Angeles and I will get back
in the business-but not before the last of
this year or the first of next. Right now my
prime problem is finding a place for my
family to live." Solly's hiatus period is
predicated by. two reasons: first, he feels
the Industry will be more stabilized in eight
to ten months, and second, he needs a break
in the . steady seven-year grind. Besides
manhghlg Western Distributors, he was also
in charge of a large arcade on First Avenue
in Seattle, and for two-and-a-haU years
worked 14 hours a day, seven days a week_
Sam Lubow, district manager for Supe-
rior Products, passed through town fast-
but not too fast to pause for a few minutes
to extol the virtues of his firm's sales-
boards_
