I find it interesting that the letters ASL on the sticker are
followed by periods — are they someone's initials? Perhaps a
review of a 1935 Dayton telephone directory would give us
further clues. Maybe we're talking about the same ASL.
A check of another machine (Spirit of America, 1934 vintage)
seems to indicate that A.S.L. Sales was only a marketing (as
opposed to manufacturing) firm. There is a small metal plate
Assorted 5C size, brass—$12.00 per 100; $100 per 1,000
attached to the bottom left of the playboard which says:

Dear Collector,
Interesting comments.
Interesting machines.
Interesting
history.
You're absolutely right. The TOTEM does look like the
TARGET. In fact, they are practically the same game. Ifyou
saw Dick Bueschel's beginning article on his pinball books in
our May issue you saw an ad for the Beverator TARGET.
Beverator made the game in January, 1935. The, as so often
happens in the coin machine business, they sold out the game to
the Pierce Tool Company in Chicago. Pierce made the same
game with a new name, and introduced the TOTEM in June,
1935. So that fits perfectly with your battery dates.
As for the BILLIARD FLASH, (the actual name of that
"Spirit ofAmerica" game) that's another interesting game. It
