It'll be a pip for all jukes. Crosby is, as usual, a top foil for the girls and it comes out jake. Reverse is "Along the Navajo Trail," which will also do plenty well. TILL THE END OF TIME Dick Haymes ..Decca 18699-A This one will coast in on laurels of song, for it's now big time and disk will wash in on tidal wave. Haymes has plenty of followers who'll love It. NO CAN DO Xavier Cugat ....Columbia 36836 This catchy ditty in rumba tempo will probably end up In big time, and Cugat by dint, of being first out will cash in. This one is okay for both home and jukes. Leah Ray's singing is nifty.

... ON THE POLITICAL and HUMANITARIAN LEVEL All of us have learned the hardships and heartbreaks of war-have demonstrated the power of democracy in action-more than ever we have confirmed that ours is the world's greatest nation and that we must retain the moral and physical leadership we have won at such great cost-that to a large measure, ours is the choice between permanent world peace and world annihilation. ...ON THE BUSINESS LEVEL You, of the Coin Machine Industry, have learned the dollar and cents value of Mutoscope reliability. You have learned the truth of our slogan "Built to Last" from your experience with Photo - maties, Skyfighters and other Mutoscope equipment that you bought years ago and that served you so well during the war period when replacements were unavailable. We have learned from our war work new manufacturing skills that we have added to those possessed before-and installed new precision machinery that will now be used on work for YOU. You have seen the tremendous growth of picture taking on the Photomatic-a trend that will continue and make Photomatic routes more profitable than ever-and you have realized as never before that this is one of the world's miracle machines. Orders for the New Photomatic are now being accepted. Send for our plan.
