today's game better money-makers than
ever before, but rising costs are higher than
rising collections.
Everyone must work together as one to
make this industry better for operators,
manufacturers, and distributors, and the
time to do it is now. Because if we don't, a
few issues from now, some of you may no
longer be in the business at all.

Dlue sky artists
Our company would like to compliment
you on the article you wrote in the January
issue of Play Meter magazine. Regarding
marketing technics of Leisure Time ,
Quorum, Potomic Games, and other
similar type operations. We found it very
informative .
Our employees have spent days passing
out articles , like yours, at these expos. We
too feel obligated to the public by inform-
ing them of the irreputability and mis-
representation of profits.
Another successful method which
retards the production of these "Blue Sky
Artists" is placing ads in local newspapers .
I have enclosed a copy of Business Oppor-
tunities from the January 24th issue of the
Rocky Mountain News. Our response has
been gratifying.
I hope that other operators and distrib-
utors will take the time to invest in ads
which discourage business practices such
as these.
We again compliment you on your well
written article.
