LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES—Distributors and operators alike are looking for a big fall season. They all agree that employment is at the highest level ever wages are higher and people have more money to spend. With all these factors present business should flourish. . . . Everyone was surprised to hear that Bob Bever had taken over as the new manager of the Dan Stewart Company. Bever has been manager for Dan Stewart in Salt Lake City for the past five years and is well known in the area as he originally opened up the local branch here. When queried Bob stated, “I’m looking forward to renewing old acquaintances as well as meeting all the operators around LA and surrounding communities.” Former manager, Jack Dolan, says that he has several things brewing but his plans are not definite as yet. He added that he’ll still be along coinrow and

All kidding aside we know that Robert Bard has worked hard to build up one of the largest routes in the area. . . . Another well remembered old-timer who occasionally visits along the Pico strip is Russell “Buss” Sheffler. “Buss” is one of the few remaining pioneers of the coin machine industry in this area. He once manufactured the first “Sheffler” console scale back in 1929. He’s now retired and lives on his ranch near Carlsbad. . . . Over at C. A.
