On June 11, 1932, we received a
letter and advertising copy from the
Success Games Company, of 500 N.
Water street, Milwaukee, Wis. The
letter that accompanied this copy
was signed by H. L. Krass. Since
ther e has appeared an article in an-
other coin machine journal statiT\g
facts regarding the business dealings
of this firm we believe it advisable
and justice to the industry to tell
what we have encountered with this
particular firm.
We carried their two-page display
spread in our June issue and billed
them for same accordingly. All our
statements and letters were returned
to us, some of them being marked
REFUSED. We went to work and se-
cured a direct report from a Chi-
cago firm regarding the Success
Games Company, and this is what we
received:
"This firm is not located at the
addr.ess given, and have not been able
to learn of their whereabouts. I un-
derstand that a person by name of
Krass operated under the above style,
but it is thought that he has left the
city. "
For further information we quote
the letter signed by H. L. Krass, that
accompanied his ad copy and said
letter being dated June 11, 1932:
"Automatic World,
"1328 Richmond Ave.,
"Fort Worth, Texas.
"Gentlemen:
"Weare enclosing copy for a two-
page spread in two colors, black and
red. Mats for the entire ad a ~ shown
have been mailed to you under sep-
arate cover. This advertisement is
to be placed as advantageously as
possible in your forthcoming issue."
The writer goes on to say in his
letter containing six par agraphs, that
he was salesman agel' of the "Hoot-
Mon" Golf game made by the Popu-
lar Games Co., four years ago and
as such has a favorable reputation
among those with whom he has had
business dealings. The letter was
signed by H. L. Krass, sole owner.
AUTOMATIC WORLD would like
to hear from any operators regarding
their dealings with this firm, or any
other firm that has failed to come
clean with them.

Unbreakable, Noq-Chip-
pable Marbles Used in
Senior Model Goofy
Jim Buckly, sales manager of the
Bally Manufacturing Company, is
reported to be getting quite expert
at socking marbles with a hamm.er
without smashing his fingers. This
is part of the unusual demonstra-
tion Jim puts' on to show the durabil-
ity of the marbles used in the new
Senior Model Goofy machine.
Jim says that these marbles can be
subjected to terrific abuse without
cracking or chipping. He takes a
marble at random from stock, places
it on a solid work-bench, and lets go
with a man-size hammer. As far as
one can see, the marble comes
through the ordeal unharmed, al-
though the blow is many times more
severe than would ever be encoun-
tered in actual play.
