In any language EMI means record business

EMI enjoys a healthy share of the important West German record market (fourth largest in the world) through its Cologne-based Electrola company. Electrola is one of 30 EMI companies throughout the world: Europe, Asia, America, Africa and Australasia — EMI covers them all; knows where the buyers are and caters for their different and ever-changing tastes. EMI has promotion men in every continent who are in daily contact with those who influence record sales. Continuously throughout the year close to 800 EMI salesmen call on over 30,000 dealers. Each country is different, of course, in its customs and buying habits. And it's knowing that difference that pays off. That's why — if you're one of the record people — you need EMI.

VEND-GUARD -SURPRISE FOR THIEVES

Here's a snapshot that goes back to the middle 40's, showing a portion of a tremendous gathering of New York City amusement machine operators and dealers. Couldn't get a better bead on the purpose of the meeting from our coinrow sources but had to show it anyway for nostalgic reasons. Trade veterans will no doubt recognize more faces than we but for openers, we spot (on the dias) Sid Mittleberg, the late Barney Sugerman and Teddy Blatt. At the table in the upper right hand corner we see Al (Senator) Bodkin, Al Simon, Teddy (the Champ) Seidel and Mike Munves. To the right (in front of the dais) we see what must be Sol Tabb and Johnny Cooper; and that's definitely Iry Kaye to the right.
