Tion London Records Now Occupies in the Record Industry. Caught

fSc'J.

The impressive recording session pictured above is apt proof of the commanding position London Records now occupies in the record industry. Caught waxing is thrush Vera Lynn, who, since her introduction to the American music public, has garnered a top niche in popularity via several click platters. Vera is responsible for the start of the song hit “Again”, which she first recorded many months ago. Other winners have been, “When You Awake”, “So Rare”, and “Do I Love You”; the latter tune having earned Miss Lynn the title of top gal tonsiler across the pond. Caught directing the session is the famed maestro Tootie Camarata, who, in his position of musical director for the plattery, has performed many noteworthy achievements in the field of music.

The torrid weather wilted some of the boys’ collars as well as their disposi- tions, but, in the main, the gang found that everyone was dashing for the resort country and so salesmen in the trade wended their way up to Michigan and Wisconsin and some very nice orders resulted for more than one firm here. “It’s all in knowing how and when to take advantage of a good deal”, is the way one of the boys put it when he showed us his order book and had done one sweet week’s work ... Now that the Standard Shuffleboard tournament is over, the execs at Rock-Ola are trying to again get back into the general swing of business. Everyone was keyed up to a high pitch as the tournament’s opening- day arrived with some of the men barely able to take their meals on time, being so anxious to see this first tremendous four state tournament of shuffleboard play a big success. Now all are smiling and happy because of the fact it was a smash success and also that it gives pi'omise to be the start of many other big tournaments thruout the nation. Lots and los of coinmen seen each day at the Coliseum and all studying the methods used here for tournament play.

And Charley Pirie out of town at the time so that Joe is taking all the bows plenty big! right now. He also suggests watching how the new card vendor line of Exhibit’s catches on ...With the way Roy McGinnis and other execs over at J. H.

That was quite a celebration for Mr. and Mrs. Murray Rosenthal and family for their 20th wedding anniversary this past June 22.

Avron Gensburg just returned from an extended eastern prip for Chicoin and reports 127 himself very well satisfied with all he saw and heard and looks forward to one NORTH DEARBORN STREET, CHICAGO 2, ILLINOIS of the best summer sales periods for Chicoin. Sam Lewis also returned from visiting Oregon and California and talked “Bango” all the time. Now after the success of Avron and Sam, Ed Levin wants to also get going and plans a trip thruout the southeast part of the nation . . . Over at United Mfg Co. there was lots and lots of action this past week with distribs calling around and people rushing here and there. Since introduction of their brand new drop chute for pinballs the firm have been receiving lots of compliments. Saw Harry Jacobs CITATIONS Jr. and Sr. having lunch in United’s very outstanding cafeteria. Seems like Beautifully refinished, like new.

By the way one of the busniest plants in town right now is Bally Mfg. Co. Here’s the only firm that won. two “best moneymaking games of the year” votes from the nation’s amusement ops—and Appointed Distrib Distrib For Keeney are the Bally gang proud. Visitors have been calling around here almost every single hour since announcement of the new Bally one-ball “Champion” with For AMI Cigarette Vendor orders now reaching a higher rate at the same stage when ‘“Citation” was being featured. If this keeps up “Champion” may even pass “Citation” (which unanimously won the ops’ votes as the best moneymaking one-ball of the year) in sales. And that, believe you me, would be one terrific achievement for Ray Moloney and his very swell bunch of guys.

Never saw a guy as happy as A1 Stern since he entered into the manufacturing business. This seems to be right down his alley. A1 is doing a whizz of a job with his shuffleboard and, at the same time, with plenty of other merchandise which this outstanding distrib firm features to the trade. Just take a look over at World Wide if you want to see some real coin operated merchandise . . . Barbara Humphrey of CMI phones in to report that the organization had plenty of inquiries and calls from ops all over the country as the ops started receiving The Cash Box ballots to vote for the best moneymaking games of the year . . . Genco continues on its busy way and very proud over the fact the pinball ops voted their “Screwball” game over the top. (And from what our New York headqquarters tells us, this was one very, very tight contest with the decision hanging fire right to the very last second as the magazine went to press.) . . . Just can’t upset that big smile on Ted Rubenstein’s face these days. Tho there has been somewhat of a sales slump this summer, according to Ted, things have again started to pick up and by fall, Ted believes that the entire JACK ROSENFELD industry will be in for a real biz upshoot.
