•The Sunday edition of the New York Times (April 24) devoted an entire section to television, and R. W. Stewart of its staif wrote a piece after a study of television in New York taverns. Not only is this of ^eat interest to local coinmen, but to all thruout the country. Stewart claims that of 6 for 25c T 5 for 25c for 21 the city’s 3,000 bars, at least 2,500 have television. He states that bartenders and proprietors “are not agreed among themselves whether it any longer helps business.” i 1 for 10 c Stewart interviewed many persons, and here are some quotes from several leaders: Arthur W. Gillett, president. United Restaurant, Liquor Dealers of Manhattan: “Television will be an inducement for bringing extra business into a bar until ownership of home sets becomes widespread. When that happens it will take away a lot of night business.” Jack Townsend, president of both Local 15 of the Bartenders Union and the New York Local Joint Executive Board: “If no one had television every, body would be happy. The average All AMI phonographs now equipped bartender finds it a nuisance. It develops : barfiies; then there are others who sit on one or two beers and just clutter for easy, quick change ON LOCATION, up the place.” Jiggs Donahue, president. New Jersey Licensed Beverage Assn.: “Tele- to any of these combinations. vision, as far as taverns go, is more or less an accommodation. I’m not _ opposed to television; I consider it is wanted in barrooms as much as radio or juke boxes. Television retains, but it does not get, customers.” John O’Gara, president, Brooklyn Tavern Owners Assn.: “I’d say television pays for itself. Sure, when a television program is over a lot go out, CM but a lot also stay to discuss the doings.”

Edward Nolan, secretary of both the National Tavern Assn, and the i

State : Restaurant Liquor Dealers Assn. “Television hasn’t contributed to ; the profit of a bar. It hasn’t made new customers, either. Among out-of-town tavern owners, some are rather pleased that television hasn’t reached their part of the country.” 127 NORTH DEARBORN STREET, CHICAGO 2 In summing up in the New York Times Stewart reports: “There is little i camaraderie on the nights when the bars’ current television favorites—Friday night boxing; Tuesday, Milton Berle; and Sunday, Ed Sullivan—enliven the

screen. The crew that arrives for the evening programs is usually soon i absorbed by the entertainment and isn’t likely to emerge from%the hypnosis^ of the electronic eye until the last smiling announcer has said good night. ; “It thus becomes manifest that the saloon has been transferred by tele-) vision into a center of organized entertainment. Many people are finding! their needs for the theatre and sports satisfied in the neighborhood bar. “There is, however, a hard core of patrons who regard television in saloons as another form of thought control. Although they, too, can be interested by the telecast of a sporting event, they are saddened to see) certain of their cronies silenced every time the flickering screen casts its' ST ! light on the gathering. “They have this much for consolation. Television, in some cases, hasi stimulated argument more than ever. However, it is generally in those LOUIS few places not having it. There the conversation usually centers on the pros and cons of whether television should be installed.” Original

CHICAGO CHATTER ISTHE BEST POLICY Big affair of the week was the “5 States Convention” in Minneapolis at the Hotel Radisson which pulled many a coinman from this city who did not, at

first, figure on attending . . . For example, Roy Bazelon of Monarch, who, when he arrived in Minneapolis, advised that he had started to fly to Miami, but, having missed that plane by minutes, decided to take one to Minneapolis and, from what he said, was very, very happy that he had done so. Roy enjoyed

“5 . . every minute of the States Convention” . Jack Cohen, Bob Levine and BUT- Bill Gersh who flew in after attending the gorgeous Detroit meeting on Satty night (and waited over 5 hours for their plane at the end of the world— Detroit’s Willow Run airport) were amazed at the large crowds of ops who WE were already present when they at last arrived late Sunday evening . . . Irv Sandler of Des Moines, la. told us something about whips in New York that we just couldn’t catch, but, had a hot conference with Ed Levin of Chicoin CAN'T which we did catch and we hope (aside to Irv) that you got what you were

after . . . Word was around the convention floor that Herman Paster was. back in town and had even dropped into his offices for a few minutes—tho on HELP

crutches . . . Willie (Silent Sphynx) Cohen was among the very dapper of the dapper and happier than anyone present because of the grand success his

firm is enjoying at this time . . . and also that Roy McGinnis is now head of IT J. H. Keeney & Co., Inc., Chicago. ^ 4: ^ IF But, that isn’t all . . . H. F. (Denny) Dennison was clicking with his new top ten tune stimulator which was meeting with the approval of op after op and which received a big hand, even from the speakers at the luncheon table, the WE'RE first day . . . Jack Ross was there with an automatic hair drier and advising

that the beauty parlors were actually eating it up . . . Harold Klein was

clicking with his Shuffieback . . . Max Mathusek of Milwaukee was entertaining a group late Monday into the wee hours composed of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Pierce I

of Brodhead, Wis., Mr. and Mrs. Doug Opitz of Milwaukee and Bill Gersh . . .

And that aint’s all . . . we could go on for hours and hours and hours and Distributors For some more hours telling you about thisa and thata . . . And the fact that Jackie Cohen of Cleveland turned out to be the best song plugger in the U.S.A. with the way he sold his wife’s (Gertrude Cohen’s grand tune) “Don’t Tell My

Heart” as recorded . . by Buddy Kaye on the MGM label . Tony Trucano of GENCO'S New Deadwood, S.D. woke up the ops at his table with his vociferous shouting . . . In fact, it was just one grand affair after the other and with the boys enjoying ff themselves right down the line ... So now—let’s cut in with some of the things that were happening here in our own little, windy, rainy town, while BLACK GOLD we spent a few days up in Minneapolis . . . Dropped over to Ben Coven’s place and had a nice chat with him in his luxurious offices. Ben’s headquarters MOST SENSATIONAL FIVE-BALL EVER BUILT are really somethin’ to be proud of and we were almost tempted to spend the

afternoon there—but—on we went . . . Over at Genco Mfg. Co. the boys were singing praises about their “all purpose” Scoreboard which they claim is one of the most sensational units ever built. And that—coming from Genco means it must be good. KEENEY'S Gordon Sutton is feeling fit and looking younger than ever. He is expected to pop with some big news very soon. But all he’ll say now is “wait and see” . . . Herb Perkins of Purveyor Shuffieboard Co. waiting impatiently for the CIGARETTE VENDOR firm’s new showrooms to be finished . . . Universal’s Mel Binks keeping so-o-o busy, and everyone wantin’ to know, what Mel is cornin’ out . . with now . CHICAGO COIN’S “PISTOL” Wally Finke at World Wide Distributors took time out from his busy routine to talk about the shuffieboard biz. Says W^orld Wide is going great with Mercury . . . Jim Guichard of Perm.a-Top left his desk and paper work for a EXHIBIT’S “DALE GUN” few days this past week to hit the road on business . . . Over at Atlas Novelty, most of the boys were out on biz. (By the way, how did the Cubs do?) . . . UNITED’S “AQUACADE” That was a very happy looking foursome over at the Mayfair Room of the Blackstone recently. Ray & Mrs. Moloney and Ben & Mrs. Coven, all having one swell time. MUTOSCOPE’S COMPLETE LINE OF
