April, 1930.
AND AUTOMATIC WORLD
Howdy Billy O'Day! How's times, anyway? Remem·
bel' when we "flopped" on the Cooch Pillows on the
Floto Kid show back in 1908?
I have seen liquor ruin many a good concessionair0
and pitch man during my time. A drink is all right at
the right time and place, but don't use it while working-,
boys. It'll get a half Nelson on you and pin you flat.
Stand up. straighten up, brighten up, cheer up,
smile up, and you'll clean up.
Keep t hat shirt clean if you have to retreat to th i)
"jungle" and wash up.
Hey, Hatsue, was them "plants" warm on the Elmer
Jones Shows down in lower California? Foolish question,
Randy says.
Speaking of "shills," I don't find anything bad about
such actions when handled rightly. "Shills" sometimes
break the ice and lead the way to some good, wholesome
joy and profits. If a show is good, a "shill" is in orde~,
if a product is good, why not use the leader-out? If the
"shill" is used to swindle, then the whole thing is wrong.
Get the idea, don't you?
The squealer is not always right. I saw a butch,
taken off the blues once for charging a dime for a regu-
lar fifteen-cent balloon. Of course, truth will out, and
the salesman was extended proper courtesy.

OUR NAME
We selected the name "Bally-Ho" for no other pu':-
pose than to satisfy the need of a name and in making
our selection we feel that we have made a very good
one. The word Bally-Ho seems to have originated since
Webster's day and we therefore have to turn to a more
revised dictionary in order to gain any definition of the
word. We might be safe in saying, however, that the word
itself means to attract, create, present. proclaim, con-
vince, confirm, entice, enthuse, offer or demand atten-
tion. Most any of these words might term just what
Bally-Ho really means.
However, the journal itself is everything the word
Bally-Ho might imply . It is a guide to every individual
that comes within the borders of the pl'ofession men-
tioned, it is a digest, a trade journal, a monthly paper.
a magazine, an ENCYCLOPEDIA for every concession-
aire, agent, carnival follower, park concessionairs, spe-
cialty salesman, pitch man and vending machin'e operator.
Read it every month. Study every ad, for there are
opportunities being offered from its pages that might
change one from a downward path to the high peak of
success.
We want to serve so write to us, tell j ust what you
think of the paper and its name. We are open for sug-
gestions, and in the meantime don't forget to tell all
advertisers when writing to them, that you saw their ad
in the Bally-Ho.
