sent W-B's sales barometer up by purchas-
ing 15 Seeburgs.
Victor Roose, Automatic Coin Machine
Co., recently made a 1l00-mile trip through
Kansas in one week and sold a Packard
phono every day to operators who never
had been in the business before. He must
have picked some live-wires for the repeat
business from these same route-men has
been very gratifying.
Gordon Talmage, Fairway Distributing
Co., told of F. E. Wilson, president, Wil-
liam (Bud) Parr, vice-president, and Clyde
Jordan, field representative of the Solo tone
Corp., visiting and laying out a promotional
program. They talked over the newly intro-
duced Solo tone individual boxes with Ma-
gic Dial which provides on the selector
switch a choice of three radio programs.
The first test location was one of the Cali-
fornia Ranch House restaurants and a
check showed the play was good, especially
on the three positions for radio each of
which provides six minutes of entertain-
ment. B. F. Frericks, manager of the Uni-
versal Distributing Co., of St. Louis in
company with Tom Collins and W. Kuber-
not called for a long chat.
Michael J. Licausi, National Sales &
Supply Co., is certainly showing some speed
for a newcomer. Not only is the firm acting
as distributors for coin-operated radios but
it now has its own plant in operation
where the new Space Master is being
manufactured. A local advertising cam-
paign is already in effect on this console
styled for hotels, tourist camps, motels,
etc., and a national promotional campaign
will be launched next month. This will
include the COIN MACHINE REVIEW from
which is expected the best reaction. The
Space Master has been especially designed
to withstand interference where many elec-
trical contrivances are operated in con-
gested districts. The cabinet is also equipped
with National slug rejector. "Deliveries
'are being made daily_"
. Frank W. Murray, Music Service Co.,
reported "B usiness is now the best we've
enjoyed for five months." Murray is doing
a man sized job, especially considering that
his partner, Edward James Nettle, had
been on the sick list for months. ' Nettle
is now on the job, spending half days in
order to expedite the business of our larg-
est firm of operators.
Mildred Wade, Brown Music Co., sta ter!
her firm was glad to receive a shipment of
Bally's Special Entry multiple-replay tabJ es.
The many modern features of Special En-
try make it a welcome addition at most
location spots. Miss Wade returned from
a profitable business trip to Des Moines
in tim e to welcome D. H. Stark, Cameron,
and M. B. Quinlan, Seneca, operators whose
business is continually increasing.
Dave Cooper, Advance Music Co., re-
ported over 90 visitors to see the firm's
three-day special showing of the Aireon
Fiesta phono. "The reaction was very satis-
factory and the refreshments and souvenirs
gave a gala spirit to the occasion. Opera.
tors reported that business was picking up
now that most of th e local strikes are
over." Jim Arlow and Ed King, Kansas
City Amusement Co., started from taw
two weeks ago and have already made six
Aireon installations. This expansion, with
others recently entering the field, off-sets
the contraction suffered during the past
few months here. Vic Morgan, Baxter
Springs, recently started from scratch and
during th e past few months has more than
doubled his volume of business. Martin
Esser, Topeka operator "is going in for
music ~tronger" and is "constantly enlarg-
ing his territory." Mike Quinlan, Seneca,
also called on the Advance Music Co.
According to a lengthy news story which
appeared in the Kansas City Times, re-
cen tly, "a former Kansas City mechanic,
now a resident of California, charged
yesterday in the circuit court that the Vendo
Sales Company, Inc., is using his invention
in a bottled drink dispenser and asked the
court to order an accounting of the firm's
proceeds and award him an equitable pay-
ment according to the company's sales. The
suit was filed by Earl C. Warwick, Los
Angeles, who will attempt to recover profits
amounting to about $250,000."

Refrigerated Fruit
Machine Perfected
VAN NUYS, Calif.-Kold Krisp Apple
Service, Inc., has perfected an automatic
refrigerated vending machine called Fruit-
O-Matic which vends apples, oranges or
pears at any price range from one to ten
cents. A regular production schedule is
being set up and deliveries are expected
within 60 days.
Fruit-O-Matic was designed by Frederick
K. Storm, one of Southern California's
leading industrial designers. The machine
is housed in a metal casing ' of red and
cream. There are four different columns,
each having a capacity of 52 pieces of fruit
each. Loading is accomplished by merely
unlocking and openin'g the front triple-
plate display glass which was designed to
prevent frosting. Approximatdy 90 indi-
vidual pieces of fruit are visible at all
times.
J. H. Oatey, president of the firm, will
govern the policies of leasing, franchising,
or selling the vending machines.
