Walker said. "It usually comes in mid·
November in the juke box industry, when
we shift over to new 'models for the coming
year, just as in the motor car industry.
"From May 20 to November 30, we turn ed
out 10,000 boxes," he added. The item
stated that the Aireon engineering staff
would be busy with new designs during the
holiday season. New models will be dis·
played at the show but the company plans
a show of its own here before that. Re·
. sumption of production will- depend on
when new contracts are concluded. Rudy
Greenbaum was in conference and too busy
to amplify this report.
Business has held up well for the Advance
Music Co. and dime play is payirig out at ·
special locations, especially where dancing
is allowed.
Frank W. Murray and Edward Jam es
Nettle, perhaps our largest operators, stated
that their Music Service Co., which covers
42 coup ties, has been successful for the past
few months installing dime play phon as,
with 75 machines yielding a third more take
than the nickel play chutes they displaced.
"In some instances," Nettle announced,
"the take was triple. Our Wurlitzers also
require less servicing because we have little
trouble with dimes clogging the machines."
The Auto Vend Co. denied the rumor
that they had "cracked the bottleneck of
small electric motors" which would enable
them to place their drink dispenser on th e
production line soon.
Edward Koch, Automatic Sales System,
has moved his place of business. and will
also do a bulk retail business on confec·
tions. His vending line is ball gum, peanuts
and candy.
Virginia Freck, daughter of Hazel Freck at
Combipe·Richards, is planning to join the
club sometime in February. A former WAC,
Virginia probably will know how to deal
with hubby if he tends to go "out·of·
bounds" or go out at night with the boys
sans a pass. Hazel; by the way, is surely
happy that cigarettes no longer require
pennies in the packs. She said that stuffing
job was plenty tiring. Price Richards pre·
sented Mrs. R. with a cute little white Spitz
puppy for Christmas. Needless to say, she's
thrilled with it.
Woolf Solomon says that CelJtral Ohio
Coin, now a block long, soon will take over
more territory and be a block wide. Brother
Sam, sales manager for the firm, is wearing
a hole in COCME's carpet, inasmuch as the
Missus is infanticipating. In passing, we
might add that one does not pass too
quickly the gals who carry on the affairs of
business in Woolfs tlffice. With respect to
matters of beauty, Solomon is truly a wise
man.
Beer sales dropped off a little when
winter finally caught up with us, but play
oil coin machines seems to be holding up
rather well. Cigarette machines have re-
turned to pre·war form and represent a
goo'd investment now that some profit can·
be realized.
Cigarette tax stamp sales in Ohio last
year increased four and one·half plus mil·
lion dollars over total net sales for 1945,
showing a 42 per cent raise in revenue,

Now that Christmas is over and the New
Year is under way, many local operators
and distributors are faced with that peren·
nial headache of squaring accounts with the
Great White Father in Washington. Deduc·
tions, reductions, revised estimates, exemp·
tions and all . the other thousand·and·one
angles to filling income tax returns are pro·
viding them with plenty to do in addition to
boosting current business.
Something else that has an air of the
perennial about it is the age·old custom of
"two becoming one." The first announce·
menf along that line came on the second
day of the year. Jack Shaucet of Times
Tonomatic Corp. and the Missus announced
that their daughter Mitzi Lee is engaged to
Irvin Lichtenstein, formerly with the Army
Air Forces and now associated with Times
Tonomatic. No dafe has ' been set for strew·
ing the orange blossoms.
Also trekking to the altar this month was
Ted Wilcox, salesman at Central Ohio Coin
Machine Exchange. Ted married a Cam-
hridge, Ohio, girl.
