On behalf of the Newark Police Athletic League, I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the many wonderful hours of entertainment and enjoyment that CASH BOX MAGAZINE has given to the boys and girls of the P.A.L. in our city. Through your efforts and the efforts of Mr.
Henry Okun, one of the Directors of our P.A.L. , we have received a very fine record player and many wonderful records. Through these fine contributions we have been able to have our boys and girls participate in many social evenings in our various P.A.L. centers.
One of the biggest problems today is giving the children some sort of an outlet for their boundless energy and this type of social recreation is one of the answers to this problem.
Once again let me say "Thanks" to CASH BOX, its staff, Mr. Henry Okun and the entire record industry, of which you are a vital part, for the help and cooperation shown in helping to bring entertainment and social activities to our many members.
Sincerely yours,

In presenting Bing Crosby in 12 standards, the humorous approach, as the label indicates, is Bing’s wish he were the one who first gave the songs to the public. But, with a master like Crosby handling these songs, the situation of better-late-than-never is one the singer’s record fans will forget. The crooner’s languid delivery takes its I-Haven’t-Got-A -Care-In-The-World course with delightful results. Deejays will have a field day with the waxing. Like all Crosby sets, this one keeps on selling year after year.

Here and There •
NEW YORK—One of the argu- ments advanced by music operators against dime play is that the Tavern owners refuse to cooperate. Of all people contacted by the music oper- ator, the tavern owner knows best that prices on all products have in- creased greatly over the years—and that music from the juke box is the only service being sold at the same price it was in 1934. Since August 15 of this year, tavern owners in this area have had another increase in the price of barrel beer. Most of the tavern owners will absorb the in- crease. Breweries claim that there is still enough profit left in the sale of a half-barrel to satisfy most tavern owners. However, this is a fine time to impress on these people the ne- cessity of increasing their revenue, which a dime play phono will unques- tionably do. It’s interesting to note that in 1934, the price of a half-barrel of beer was $7.75. This was sold at 10# for a fourteen or twelve-ounce glass, or in some places a nickel would buy an 8 ounce glass.

Reports received indicate that, in some cases, purchasers become upset due to the fact that they cannot, many times, buy equipment listed in the lower SSj ! 1 1 1 price brackets. Sometimes sellers of machines listed at from $16.00 to $25.00 W ask from $50.00 up to $75.00 and even more for these very same machines. Purchasers of such equipment must realize that machines in the very low priced categories are much worn to be priced at these low figures. To completely recondition such machines, the reconditioner must add onto his price the cost of transportation to obtain these machines, the labor, parts and supplies needed to recondition the machines, plus the cost of cartons, crates and labor for Manufacturers and date of game’s release listed.

Here’s the kind of clean, uncluttered styling — the fresh, angular design
people buy in everything — the new cars . . . furniture . . . architecture. The “G-200” is in step with the times — just ask top locations what their patrons prefer!
Here’s the one juke box that’s modern today — and modern for tomorrow. Operators say that's a smart way to provide security of investment.
Color? The “G-200” comes in the widest choice of color cabinetry in the
industry ... 8 beautiful decorator colors to fit your location preferences exactly.
And remember: no other juke box gives operators a combination of all the
. . . instant, eye-level visibility all selections for more advantages needed for more profit of 200 plays in less time. titles — all the time . . . fastest record changer . . . exclusive multi-horn, high
fidelity . . . 200 title programming of singles and EP's— both at the same
time — and with extra-price play for the two-tune discs . . . complete acces- sibility ... no other juke box is so easily serviced— and none needs so little service as the “G-200.'”
