You will perhaps recall it is now about 47 years ago when I sold my first
coin-operated scale in England, and 1929 in the United States, and perhaps
you will also remember that I started the pin-ball business in 1931 and
brought it to such prominence in England and the other European countries,
where we had our own branches in those days.
I am glad to say I still feel pretty good and still like the business - much
to the displeasure of my dear Karla, but at present we have an agreement
that I am going to continue in any case up to 1977 when there will be the
50th anniversary, and if the world stays put, it should be an international
coin-machine family gathering, to which I would naturally be only too
pleased to invite the Gersh family as well.
Kindest regards,
A. W. Adickes
