We have had no machine in 28
year; 0 your ads, catalogue ,
etc. go in the tra h.
We bought 20 poker pinball
machines, but tried to change the
order t he next day, for we
decided it wou ld be a bad
influ nce on the youths. They
would not cancel and we 10 t
$4,000. Called it our folly and tore
the machine up. Have never
regretted it, but hope that com-
pany went broke.
