The first convention issue in six years— will be the next

issue of The Cash Box.

It’s been a long, long road — waiting for this conventionwhen the trade would once again get together and

be

able to talk things over— look at new equipment fore-see an ever greater, more glowing and brighter

future.

The Cash Box, during the war period, calledthe leaders

of the field together in its First WartimeConference at the

Hotel Waldorf-Astoria in New York City to discussthe

problems presented by the entrance of pricecontrol for

this industry under the auspices of theOffice of Price

Administration.

Also during the war period, because the coinmenthru-

out the field wanted to meet and to discussvarious prob-

lems — The Cash Box, again at its own expense, calledthe Second Wartime Conference at the Morrison

Hotel in

Chicago.

issue in keeping with the tremendous interest inthis 14th

annual convention and exhibition of Coin MachineIn-

dustries, Inc.

In this issue the advertiser receives double coverage.

The Cash Box convention issue will be circulated thruout

the trade one full week before the show and will also be

distributed right at the show.

Already a great many interesting and outstanding

articles have been written by leaders of this trade to

appear in that issue. There will also be many news items

from all over the country covering events of great interest

to the field. This is one issue which will be saved by all

coinmen for a long time to come.

It’s NEXT WEEK— the “convention issue’’ of The CashBox— the introduction to the opening of the biggest showin the history of the coin operated machine industry.

These two were the only meetings of a nationalnature

among the men of this industry during the warperiod.

Now comes the first post-war meet. And this timeCMI

(Coin Machine Industries, Inc.) takes overits old job of

putting on a convention and of entertainingthe many

thousands who will attend the exhibits andmeetings

which will be offered by the members of thisAssociation.

Therefore, next week will see the first conventionissue

of The Cash Box.

It’s been a long time since the members ofthis trade

saw advertisements and articles which hadreference to

a convention.

Everywhere in the nation coinmen are makingprepara-

tion to be present at this big show. Theoperators, jobbers

and distributors all want to be on hand.The allied in-

dustries, too, will be present. All indicationsare that it

will be the biggest show in history.

The Cash Box, to meet the great demand,has com-

bined its next two issues into one to make up aconvention

Distribs Slash Prices (in many casesbelow actual cost) Yet Continue to Issue

Credit With Profit Factor Nullified. It’s

a Field Day for Ops Who Can Buy Nowat Lowest Prices.

NEW YORK—“It’s a field day for theoperators”, is the way one of thenation’s largest distributors puts it

in discussing the present price slash-ing situation.

“Furthermore”, he stated, “theaverage machine is now priced to al-most no level of profit whatsoeverfor the average distributor and this,”he continued, “has put every sellerof machines on a spot.”

He also said, “At the same time,while these wild offers are beingmade, we still have to continue togive our customers credit. And”, heclaims, “without any profit to speakof it becomes a very severe and seri-ous problem as to just what creditcan be issued.”

This is the same practically every-where in the nation, according to re-ports from leading distributors. Theyhave felt the axe of price cutting toa point where they have been forcedto meet this sort of competition and,in meeting it, have sacrificed profit.

Some claim that the first pricesmashing came as a result of whole-salers finding themselves jammedwith machines and, in attempting toturn these into cash, were forced tocut prices.

“This became a vicious circle”, one

distributor reports, “With the result

that price cutting became rampant

everywhere and we simply had tomeet competition or eat the machines

which wei’e being delivered to us.”

Another distributor claims, “Manyof us had orders on hand with thefactories and suddenly they began todeliver in good quantities. Here wewere”, he continued, “with formermachines on the floor and new ma-chines began to barge down on us.We simply had to get out from underfor it takfs big amounts of cash thesedays to be in the distributing busi-ness. Therefore, many started out bycutting price. Those who didn’t cutwere forced to give their operatorsrebates. This caused a great many toget angry and the result was that anavalanche of price cutting was ac-tually forced upon the sellers so thatthey could get themselves cleared of

any excess stock especially beforethe convention; when it is a certaintymany new types of machines willmake their bow.”

The price smash is continuing in

almost every territory in the nation.

Where, at first, some prices were cut

to unload large stocks—they are nowcontinuing price cutting because, they

report, there is no other way out.Those distribs who try to stop thecut price when a new game arriveshave found it very difficult.

As one operator put it, “With col-lections what they have been thepast sixty days, every dollar saved

on the purchase of new equipment,means a dollar earned. We have toget machines at the lowest possibleprices”, he claims, “so that we cansee some profit from our operations.”

Whether this same price smashingwill continue after the convention is

as yet an uncertainty, but many areof the belief that it will.

One noted op says, “The factoriesare producing again and unless atremendous hit comes along which weare forced to buy—we are, instead,going to buy where it’s cheapest forour locations always zoom up for acertain period of time with a newmachine and we have to depend onthe trade-in for our real profit.”

This is one of the problems, price

cutting, which leading distribs want

to take up at a general meeting of all

distributors during the formation of a

national distributors’ association so

that further price smashing will be

eliminated.

BOOTLEGGERS

ON RAMPAGEDistribs Burn as Bootlegging of New

Equip’t Reaches All Time High. Most Sales

Reported Made at Less Than 5% GrossProfit. Mfrs Helpless Against This Huge

Wave. Leading Distribs Ask for Nat’l Meet

to Stop Bootlegging Otherwise Selling

Will Become Dead Issue, They Claim.NEW YORK — Probably the mostserious problem which has arisen

among wholesalers of new equipmentthruout the industry is the rampage

of bootlegging now current every-where.

This has reached the point where

some distributors report that they are

absolutely helpless against it and are

losing money every day.

One very well known distributoradvised, “Never in my entire careerin this business have I seen such

bootlegging going on. Machines are

shipped here from almost every cityin the country and from outstandingand legitimate factory distributors

who, in many cases, have sold at lessthan 5% over the cost of the equip-ment itself. This has absolutely upsetdistribution. If it continues we pre-dict that it will mean the end of dis-tribution as a factor in this business.

It will just simply revert right back

to selling the operators directly andthis means elimination of credit aswell as cutting out all methods tocheck on machines. With no profit insight, because of this terrible boot-

legging situation, the distributors mayas well close their doors.”

It is also reported by many distrib-utors who have contacted their fac-tories that even the manufacturers

are helpless against this tidal wave of

bootlegging. Where one man is cutdown from further purchase of their

products, another takes up the same

practise.

It has become a vicious circle to the

point where distributors, who havefelt the effects of bootlegging in their

territories, are doing the same to

overcome being caught short with

large stocks of machines on hand —and the convention on top of them.

The effect on sales has been ex-

tremely serious. At a time when the

industry is attempting to push its way

out of this, recession period — thedistributor finds himself caught be-

tween the bootlegger and the price

cutter and, tho he is making price

allowances already to his operators to

make the machines easier to buy andquicker to amortize, he is now facedwith earning no profit at all.

“When the distributors from all overthe country gather in Chicago and a

meeting is called”, one noted distrib-

utor stated, “the very first topic we

are going to bring up on the floor

of this meeting is bootlegging. We aregoing to ask that every distributor

present give a guarantee that this

will halt. Otherwise there is abso-

lutely no further need for distribu-

tors. We believe that every distributorwho has been faced with the boot-

legger in his territory will agree that

this is the most important problem

for all of us at this time.”



FIRST GLIMMER OF RECOVERY...

OPS REPORT

COLLECTIONS

GOING UP AGIUNHoliday Season Slump Over, They Say.

Foresee Continued Increase But No

Wartime Boom Take. Must AdjustOperations to Match Normal Collections.

NEW YORK — In the midst of allprice cutting and bootlegging of

equipment there comes the first real

glimmer of hope for all the industry.

This is noted in the reports being

received from very well known oper-ators thruout the nation who statethat, “collections ai’e once again be-

ginning to show an upswing.”

One op reports, “At last I can say

that the seasonal holiday drop is

over. This past week our collections

showed their first upward swing. Webelieve that they will continue to go

up from now on, but, we do not be-lieve that they will ever again equal

the wartime boom take which all

enjoyed.

“This is the time”, he continues.

“when all the operators should im-

mediately adjust their set-ups to meet

more normal collections. Everyone

knows that we will have to use great-er efficiency if we intend to see anyreal profits. We may also have to cutdown here and there on certain over-head costs. We must arrange forgreater economy at this time so that

we can come thru this present period

profitably.”

It seems that with the collection

trend at last pointing upward that

there is no longer any doubt of a re-

turn to greater normalcy thruout the

field.

For sometime now collections have

been down all over the country. In

some cases reports indicated that they

were off 75%. Many stated from 35%to 50%. But, these men now say thatthese past weeks have shown no fur-ther drop and, in many cases, haveshown an increase so that the trade is

of the belief that collections are re-

turning to a more “normal base”.

Whatever this new “normal base”will be will not be discernible, it is

believed, until sometime in the Fall of

1947.

“By that time,” one well known op

claims, “we shall know just where we

stand unless, of course, we are oper-

ating such new equipment which will,

of itself, boost the take back to the

wartime boom period.”



The problem that faces the operating

end of the commercial music business

is a problem that practically every in-

dustry has faced... and solved... by in-

creasing the price of its product.

It’s the problem of making both ends

meet!

In the case of the music operator, the

cost of everything he buys, from labor

to lamp bulbs, from phonographs to

records, has been hiked to new highs.

Simultaneously his earnings are down

from the wartime peak.

Ordinary horse sense should indicate

that something must be done.Wurlitzer

is doing it. Advocating an industry-

wide change to quarter-dime play.

No business enjoys being forced toincrease its prices.Yet the policy is so

necessary and has been adopted so

generally by ai/ business that to chal-

lenge it from a standpoint of being

unessential or unethical simply won’t

hold water.

It’s to your interests as a Music Mer-

chant that Wurlitzer has paved the

way for quarter-dime play.

Analyze your problem. Consult your

business records and your better judg-

ment.

They will testify to the urgent need

of ”3 for 25^—1 for 10^” play. The

Rudolph Wurlitzer Company, North

Tonawanda, New York.

Week of January 20, 1947iThe Cash Box

"My Baby's Gone Away""Poison Boogie"POISON GARDNER TRIO

(Juke Box 515)

I

. • The Poison Gardner Trio step forth: here to come up with a fair race tune,

: that ops might use to good advantage.

Headed “My Baby’s Gone Away”, thedisk offers Jimmy Miller in the vocaldepartment. It’s slow stuff that

doesn’t quite come up to par, but the

combo add finish to the side. Backed

H by “Poison’s Boogie”, a piano, bass

and guitar get together and jam away

Ia good instrumental side. Ops will

I have to pick their spots with this pair.

"Caravan""There Is No Breeze"

THE AMORY BROTHERS(National 9024)

"If You Knew Susie""Silver Stars—Purple Sage

—

Eyes of Blue"CLIFFIE STONE ORCH.

(Capitol 354)

• A pair of westerns for the sage-brush country are the oldie “If YouKnew Susie” and “Silver Stars”, withCliffie Stone making music. “Susie”is done up lightly and has Cliffordwarbling all through. The backing haslong been top juke material andshould go by this lad. Nothing toset the jukes afire, but nevertheless,

ops should listen in.

DISK O’THE WEEK"What Am I Gonna Do

About You""Beware My Heart"

MARGARET WHITING(Capitol 350)

MARGARET WHITING

• Okay, grab it! The “big one”this week boasts two sides forwhich heavy action can well beexpected, tho “What Am IGonna Do About You” appearsto be the stronger of the two.On this disk Margaret Whitingagain fulfills the promise ofhitting up there among the verytop female vocalists of the year;and the record tells its own storyof her talent. As for the melo-dies themselves, they’re naturals.“What Am I Gonna Do” is a firstclass romantic ballad from themotion picture “Ladies Man,”and Meg gives it enough life tolift it right up to the best thatshould be expected of it. On“Beware My Heart,” anotherlove story with music from theflicker “(Ilarnegie Hall,” she re-peats. The Frank De Vol orkgive her very effective instru-mental support all the way, sowhat more can be said that thecustomers won’t say moreprofitably.

"Heart Of My Heart""And The Band Played On"

"I Used To Love You""You Tell Me Your Dreams"

DICK KUHN ORCHESTRA(Top 1148 & 1149)

• Ops with routes that run heavywith tavern locations that serve as

meetin’ places for the neighborhood’s

oldsters would do well to get a batch

of these disks by the Dick Kuhn ork.A vocal trio warbles the lyrics tothese memory-stirring ditties and all

concerned catch the mood to offer themelodies as strong standards for all

members of the trade who have spotsfor ’em.

"Morena"

"Toredas En Madrid"XAVIER CUGAT ORCHESTRA

(Columbia 37198)

• Hi-ya! Here’s a pair of sides bymaestro Xavier Cugat that ops whorequire authentic Latin melody would

do well to get hold of. Not an item

for locations where they want waxfor dancing (it’d take professional

folk to trip the light fantastic to this

stuff), the disk is worthy of serious

consideration just for the music the

Cugatmen present. And there’s plenty

of it, castanets and all. In addition,

the arrangements on both “Morena”

amd “Toredas En Madrid (Bullfight

In Madrid)” are strictly solid. If you

have the spots, spot this disk for a

strong payoff.

"Linda"

"Love Is A Random Thing"RAY NOBLE ORCHESTRA

(Columbia 37215)

• A good disk for spots where theywant top musical arrangements for

dancing can be found on this wax

contribution by the Ray Noble Or-

chestra. Featuring the popular

“Linda,” the tune gets a good work-

out via the vocalizing of capable

Buddy Clark and a neat instrumental

from the Noble crew. In addition, the

side is built around a sketch, a good

innovation for transient locations. On

the lower deck, the Noblemen and

Clark go to work with “Love Is ARandom Thing,” a ballad out of the

new Broadway musical “Toplitzsky

of Notre Dame.” Tho the inter-

pretation is adequate, ops’ll find it

useful only as a support item unless

the pluggers db a job with it.

"Little Baby You'reRunning Wild"

"Rhumba Boogie Woogie"PVT. CECIL GANT(Gilt-Edge 512)

• More stock race stuff headed opsway is this latest pair by Pvt. CecilGant. Titled “Little Baby You’reRunning Wild” and Rhumba BoogieWoogie”, both sides shape up as apair strictly for top race spots. Top-side offers Cecil on the vocal doing aslow moody affair, while the backingfeatures lots of piano with a spotvocal by the lad. Nothing to raveabout, but ops that need fillers mightgrab a listen.

"Sooner Or Later”"And So To Bed”

DINAH SHORE(Columbia 37206)

• Always dependable, Dinah Shore’sdisking of “Sooner Or Later,” a songfrom the Disney flicker “Song Of TheSouth,” can be put to profitable useon the machines. It’s sure to be re-quested, and the Shore interpretationshould fill the bill as effectively asany. In addition, her “And So ToBed” will net action in its own right,so the platter becomes a good buyfor the trade. Both sides are ade-quate as material for the dance spots.

oeware iviy xieari, anoinerlove story with music from theflicker “(Ilarnegie Hall,” she re-peats. The Frank De Vol orkgive her very effective instru-mental support all the way, sowhat more can be said that thecustomers won’t say moreprofitably.

"The Funny Thing

Called Love”

"Rainbow’s End”FREDDY MARTIN ORCHESTRA

(RCA-Victor)

• Peg “The Funny Thing Called Love”as a side well loaded with “sleeper”possibilities, Freddy Martin hasfilled it with a flavor reixiininscent ofthe ’20s, a style that appears to be

gaining increasing favor on the pho-nos, and in this he is aided and abet-ted by vocalist Gene Conklin, whodoes well by the lyrics in his ownright. Certainly it’s a disk worthy ofa try in tavern spots. On the otherside, Freddy comes up with “Rain-bow’s End,” a tune that’s a snatch

from a well known Beethoven classic.Clyde Rogers does a workmanlike jobon the lyrics, keeping strictly in line

with the romantic refrain. If the sidegoes, however, it’ll score on the meritsof the Beethoven original.

"September Song""It's As Simple As That"

JO STAFFORD(Capitol 352)

© “Tops!” is the word for this ex-ample of Jo Stafford’s song selling.What she does with “SeptemberSong” should only happen for thetrade more often. Trouble is, how-ever, that it comes a bit late for thephonos. Most ops have already putthe tune out. Still, all is not lost, i arfrom it. Because you can take ad-vantage of what call there remainsfor the song with this disk, and whenit’s over you can flip it and make coinwith the bottom side, tabbed “It’s AsSimple As That.” The tune is one ofthe better blue romantic ballads tobe found around, and dressed up withthe Stafford voice it emerges smoothas silk. In addition, the dance stopswill find strong use for it. Who canask for more?

"Managua Nicaragua"

"That's The Beginning

Of The End"KAY KYSER ORCHESTRA

(Columbia 37214)

• Kay Kyser’s latest features acouple of tunes that show good signsof coming up among the nation’stop. Big side of the platter is “Man-agua Nicaragua,” a novelty heavy withhints of Latin styling, and, as inter-preted vocally by the Campus Kids, itemerges as good phono fare. The flip,“That’s the Beginning of the End,” isneat romantic stuff given proper vocaltreatment by Michael Douglas. Andhere again the Campus Kids combineto lend vocal support. If you aren’tfeaturing these tunes already, by allmeans give the platter a whirl.

"What Am I Gonna DoAbout You"

"I Gotta Gal I Love"PERRY COMO

(RCA-Victor 20-2103)

• Here’s another version of “WhatAm I Gonna Do,” the tune selected asthe “Disk O’ The Week” in this issue.As done here by Perry Como, theplatter is something the trade shouldcertainly get next to. The lad hasenough followers to guarantee actioneven if he decided to sing in Esper-anto. But strong as this tune is, andas pleasant as Perry’s interpretationis, it is the feeling of this departmentthat he clicks best on the lower deckof the platter with a ditty tabbed “IGotta Gal I Love.” A western-styledmelody. Perry gives it a happy, care-free treatment and scores on sixteencylinders doing it. By all means giveit a listening. By the way, both songsare from the flicker, “Ladies Man,”so heavy plugging from many sidescan be expected.

SLEEPEROF THE WEEK

"Misirlou"SKITCH HENDERSON ORCHESTRA

(Capitol 351)

SKITCH HENDERSOK

© Pick of this week as the big“sleeper” for the trade is “Mis-orlou”, as done by the SkilchHenderson Orchestra. Currentlyenjoying heavy public interestthanks to Jan August’s inter-pretation, Henderson’s versionis of double worth to the tradebecause it’s genuine phono ma-terial, a factor which August’swaxing lacks for many spots. Infairness to August, it must besaid that his piano work is moreoutstanding; Henderson’s solospot is subdued to feature a fullorchestral arrangement. How-ever, it has been found that thephono customers will buy an orkquicker than a piano, and thatmakes this interpretation a bet-ter bet. So far as Skilch’sarrangement is concerned, it’sgreat. Coming in with a strongLatin beat, the orchestra worksup a strictly powerful hunk ofmelody, with enough of a soloby Skitch to show his masteryof the keyboard. The way it allcomes out pegs the side as a“sleeper” that’s bound to ex-plode in a barrel of coin if itgets the chance. We advise thatyou give it one. On the flip, theHenderson ork delivers “FarAway Island,” a very pleasantpiece of melody well enhancedby Ray Kellogg’s vocal andHenderson’s piano slot. Butwe’re cointing on “Misorlou.”

"Echo Polka"

"Eeny Meeny D!xie Deeny"SLIM BRYANT & HIS WILDCATS

(Majestic 11003)

• Polka territory should be able todo some coin-culling things with“Echo,” a catchy bit of polka instru-mental unusually well interpreted bythe Slim Bryant crew. On the flip,“Eeny Meeny” is pleasant noveltystuff for spots where little noveltiesgo. It might be added, tho, that theway the trio offers the lyrics, it shoulddo better than earn its way if slantedfor the haypitchin’ customers.

"It's A Good Day""The Slow Mosquito"GENE KRUPA ORCHESTRA

(Columbia 37239)

• If you’ve got spots where GeneKrupa is a drawing card, here’s adisk that’ll draw ’em. It’s one ofthe best Gene has put out in sometime. “It’s A Good Day” is one of thebetter melodies from the Disneyflicker “Song Of The South,” and intoit Gene has injected a load of instru-mental tricks in adapting the tune to

his brassy style. In addition, Carolyn

Grey catches the spirit to deliver wellon the vocal. On the other deck theboys do “ The Slow Mosquita,” astrong novelty, helped by the ork’s

treatment and Carolyn’s warbling

talents.

"Stars Fell On Alabama""Sidewalks Of Cuba"WOODY HERMAN ORCHESTRA

(Columbia 37197)

• Promising to emerge again as amoney-maker for the trade is thestandard “Stars Fell On Alabama.”As done here by the Woody Hermancrew, the interpretation has some ex-cellent moments, enough of them toring the bell on the phonos. Woodyand the Blue Moods combine to dowell with the lyrics, while the Her-

man Herd blend their instruments indelicate fashion to come up with somepleasantly worthwhile music. On theflipover, “Sidewalks Of Cuba”

emerges as an all-instrumental, but

because the version is so heavy on the

brass and dressed in hurry-up tempo,

ops should place it carefully, prefer-

ably in spots where the younger sets

gather.

"You'll Know WhenIt Happens"

"All By Myself"SAMMY KAYE ORCHESTRA

(RCA-Victor 2-2110)

© Effective as a filler for machinesin locations where they dance and ro-

mance is this latest Sammy Kayeoffering. Mary Marlowe does a goodvocal job on the well paced “You’ll

Know When It Happens,” while DonCornell and the Three Kaydets

handle the vocal chores on “All ByMyself,” an interesting romantic bal-

lad. If you have a heavy call for

Kaye, you’ll do okay with his one.

Orchid of the week goes to Apollo: Records. They have just announced thatthey have joined Signature in the parade

to give free title slips back to the musicops. The slips are now available for re-

I cently released platters in addition to all

I releases the firm will issue, and ops can

.

pick ’em up at their nearest Apollo d s-trib ... By the way, here’s a tip aftercatching a sneak pre-listening to thelatest Luis Russell disk featuring that“voice,” — Grab it! In case you didn’tknow, the lad’s name is Lee Richardson,and he lives up to all the promise he

;

exhibited with his “All The I'hings YouAre” and his more recent “The VeryThought Of You.”

Capitol’s high command is reported duefor a visit to New York. Scheduled tovisit this city for a 12-day stay areGlenn Wallichs, executive vies presidentof the label, Floyd Bittaker, nationalsales chief, and William Fowler, thefirm’s treasurer. Meanwhile, advance re-ports have it that the King Cole Trio’slatest, “1 Want To Thank Your Folks,”is reported a big click, tho Red Evans,colorful song pub, telephones from themain stem to advise that his tune, on thereverse side, tabbed “You Should HaveTold Me,” is the one for the money . . .Here’s another item on Capitol; Rumorshave it that Benny Goodman has beeninked to join the impressive and growingCapitol talent roster.

* * *

Over at MGM hq. nobody’s confirmingor denying that Hal McIntyre is nowdisking for that soon-to be-hsard-fromrecord factory, but it looks like a goodbet. In case you forgot, it was McIntyre’srecording of “The Old Lamplighter,”which he did for Cosmo, that brought theattention of our disk reviewers to thetune. Hal’s version was selected as a“Sleeper Of The Week” on August 19th,1946, a long, long time before the tunegot up there where it belonged. And,obviously, that wasn’t McIntyre s fault.Cosmo was spending just about all pro-motional effort on the platter pluggingthe other side, a novelty tabbed “Ban-ana Boat.”

* »

Over at Dacca Records we hear thatHarry Kruse, popular veepee and nationalsales chief, has Deen ill oi late. Get wellsoon, Harry. We want you out in Chi-cago for the Big Show . . . And, thru thegrapevine comes word that the tune cur-rently a big click on the boxes in NewYork, “If I Had My Life To Live Over,”has been cut by Decca’s Bob Eberle, andpressings are being rushed for nation-wide distribution. You’ll remember thatthe tune as done by one of its co-authors,Larry Vincent, was a recent “Sleeper OfThe Week.”

LeRoy Stein, managing director of theMusic Guild of America, powerful musicop trade org of New Jersey coinmen,telephoned to declare that if The CashBox did not produce Monica Lewis andPeggy Lee at their big banquet in March,then a couple of lads in the local officehad better not show their faces on theother side of the Hudson. Listen, LeRoy,we’ll do our best. But please! After all,we feel the same way you do about them,but can you tell that to a booking agent?

* 4: *

Visiting the big city with lots of en-thusiasm over their current click, “OpenThe Door, Richard!” was Monroe B.Passis, regional supervisor of Black &White Records. The line was recentlytaken on by Runyon Sales Company inthis city . . . Harry Bank of CardinalRecords in heavy conversation with A. B.Green, chieftain of the National label.What’s up ?

The Cash Box Week of January 20, 1947

iNo General Price Break Expected AsSonera Readies Record For Market

j

NEW YORK—The bombshell which wasi dropped into the wax circle early thisj

past week, when Sonora Records an-

I

nounced they would release a disk series

Ito be sold to the trade for 26c, fizzled

;loudly in the recording industry, but

there was not a single indication to be: heard that sounded anything like a' general price cut on the part of the otherplatteries.

First reactions to the Sonora announce-

;

ment were a number of opinions voiced

; by leading record execs to the effect

I

that such a move on the part of Sonora

I

was impossible to accomplish without

Itaking a financial beating.

i

Current costs to produce a disk and

the sal5 of it, even at a “break even”

basis, was “impossible” at the price, they

said.

Quizzed by The Cash Box, top authori-

ties in the industry analyzed their pro-

duction expenses to the penny, illustrat-

ing the “impossibility” of earning a

j

profit on the 39c list price.

But to all these statements and opin-

ions Milt Benjamin, Sonora veepee and

I sales chief, replied with the words. “We:intend to do it at a profit. We’re in

! business to make money!” He added thatthe firm had “a few things up our

sleeves” in making the claims they did,

Iand he refused to divulge anything about

those ideas.

Benjamin frankly admitted to The Cash

Box that he was seeking music op favor,

and he felt that the low price would give

his label a strong place on the phonos,

a demand heavy enough to be felt in

retail outlets. But when it is considered

that if Sonora were to lose money on a

hundred thousand such records, increased

sales would only add to that loss.

Speculative opinion as to what Sonora

stands to gain thru their low priced

record runs hot and heavy. Some saythat the firm wants to build up a big

demand for their lesser known artistsand then switch them to the higher pricedlabel. Others see in the move a willing-ness to take a loss in order to get the

widest possible coverage with their rec-

ords, thus advertising Sonora’s big di-

vision, their radio and television equip-

ment.

At any rate. Milt Benjamin is sayinglittle. He says that come February 1sthe’ll be selling his “black label” records

to the trade for 26c, and he’ll let thedisks sound off for him.

FOREWORD Many limes, wide difierences appear in the high and low prices ofcertam equipment

Like any true reporter The CJVU. Blue Book can only feature themarket prices os they ore quoted.

The CJM.L Blue Book acts exactly the same os the market quotationboard at the Stock Exchange

posting the prices os they are quoted for the past week, regardlessof how much they may seem to

be out of lino. Some prices do not change for months. The C.M.I. BlueBook, rather than show no

price, retains the lost known quotations for such equipment so that thesubscriber at least has the

lost known prices os a basis to work with. Prices continue to be verywidely divergent these days.

Someone on the West Coast may feel a certain machine worth $150.00 whereassomeone on the

East Coast may think it worth but $75.00. Of course, condition, serial,appearance, demand, territory,

quantity, etc., must all be taken into consideration. The CJ»4.LBlue Book reports each quotaUou

exacUy os it is made and depends on the subscriber to make average priceadjustment to ht the

peculiarities of his own territory.

METHOD The CJMJ. Blue Book should be read as follows; First price listed is lowest price for the

week: Second price listed is highest price. Where only one price appears this should beconsidered

lowest price.

IMPORTANT Machines underlined mean these were most active in trading the post week.

what they signify. These code numbers appear in front of the name of each machine.
