Chicago News
H. B. Gibson and Fred Mann are
certainly doing some good things for
the Chicago operators. A would-be
gang of slickers that centered their
activities upon Chicago operators,
has been broken up by the Chicago
operators' association, headed by
Gibson and Mann.
All individuals who wer,e suspect-
ed of racketeering tactics were sum-
moned up before the state's attor-
n ey and questioned thoroughly as to
their activities in the coin machine _
business. Then each in turn was
warned that the state's attorney
would vigorously prosecute anyone
,of them who tried to interfere in any
way with operators' who are legiti-
mately running their operating bus-
inesses.
Since this warning was given some
time ago operators in and about Chi-
cago have not been bothered in any
way. This is a victory for the new
operators' association in Chicago and
speaks well for its ability to func-
tion eff.ectively for the best inter-
ests of its members.

Jim Buckley shows the boys the
kind of marbles he used by putting
them under the hammer. Well, a
lot of things have gone under the
hammer and emerged unharmed but
it was good to start with.
Same
with Buckley's marbles, they are
good.

other things.

Look out for that new machine
that is going to be launched by the-
Northwest Coin Machine Company.
Mr. Schaef and Mr. Gohe have a way
of doing things and when they say
the machine is good, well, it will be
good.
