The men who put over Ballyhoo with
their
sensational
merchandising
feats--Ray Maloney, Jim Buckley
and Pat Millete, Bally production
manager-are again joining forces
to push Goofy to even greater suc-
cess than that of Ballyhoo. They
are assisted by Herb B. Jones, new
Bally advertising manager, and Dan
Hubbard, nationally known expert
in coin-machine merchandising, who
has been called in as a special con-
sultant.
With a team of this caliber con-
centrating on making Goofy the
headliner of the season, it is easy to
see why the entire Bally organiza-

Denver News Letter
By L. S. FLINT
Denv·e r, Colo.-The alleged killing
by George Myers, Denver druggist,
of a younthful bandit who attempted
to steal a mint vending machine
from the Myers store at East Twen-
ty-second avenue
and Downing
street, is believed to have been indi-
rectly responsible for a series of coin
machine raids conducted late in Au-
gust by the Denver police.
Widespread publicity given the at-
tempted holdup and subsequent
killing drew a great deal of atten-
tion to the mint vending machines in
general which is thought to have in-
cited protests against their contin-
ued operation in numerous districts.

has completed construction of a new
type of miniature bowling alley
known as Bowlo. At present he is
running it without a slot, but plans
to make it a penny coin machine in
the near future. It measures eight
feet by twelve feet. Hunter has
sold four of the new units and is
considering putting- them on the
market.
Hunter proposes a chip consisting
of a narrow ring with a large hole
in the center as a solution to the
increasingly
difficult
"slugging"
