>Like Irwin & Oringer, hundreds of Wurlitzer MusicMerchants have pulled up their collections by trading

in their old phonographs that took in so little—cost somuch for service that they ate up their profits.

Now, with the Wurlitzer 1100, outstanding profit pro-ducer of all time, in their top spots, and a better paying

phonograph in every location, their business is on a more

profitable basis.

When buying 1100s, you can figure much less deprecia-tion. Also, make a mental deduction of $300 from theoriginal price. That is what you should save in four years— besides vastly greater earning power. Thanks to the ZenithCobra Tone Arm, records last up to ten times longer. Also,

mechanical and electrical units can be removed from two toone hundred times faster. The Rudolph Wurlitzer Com-pany, North Tonawanda, NeW York.

Model 1100

Cliff Irwin, Manager, Irwin & Oringer,

Wurlitzer Music Merchants,

Port Huron, Mich.

are operating several Wurlitzer 1100s with

a very noticeable increase in take. One phonograph

shows 25,476 plays on the original Zenith Cobra

Tone Arm cartridge and it’s still producing perfecttone quality. Records play up to 2, 000 times with-

out noticeable impairment of tone. This assures

location satisfaction—maximum operating economyand greater profits for us.

Many Attribute Increased Collection Averages to

Warmer Weather. Foresee New Equipment Helping

to Boost Averages to Even Greater Highs

NEW YORK—Good news KTls thetrade this week with reports from lead-ing coinment all over the nation advisingthat collection averages are going up andthat they foresee the end of the badweather when averages were down tolows never before experienced by the in-dustryFrom every section of the nation oper-

ators reported that, with the return ofwarm weather, they ahve experienced adefinite upswing in collections.As one noted operator of music and

games, as well as cigarette machines,stated, “This is the first time, in months,that we can truthfully report an up-swing and one that is continuing up-ward.”He also said, “For a while we had

some good collection weeks, but, on theaverage, they were very poor. Thesepast weeks, as the weather warmed upand the snow began to disappear, andpeople again began to circulate around,we found that the collections from ourmachines had boomed right up again.“They may not yet be considered nor-

mal”, he continued, “but, we can safelystate, they are already very close tow'hat we like to believe is normal, andwe therefore feel that, with the neweauipment which we are buving andwhich has already proved itself, we aregoing to see even better collections asthe warmer weeks come in.”

This same statement can be aUrPoutedto almost everyone of the coinmen ques-tioned. Each expressed the belief thatwith the manufacturers turning out goodequipment that they can expect to seesome of the best collection averages dur-ing this Spring and forthcoming Sum-mer.

One op even went to the extent of say-ing, “There is no longer any doubt nowthat the poor avearges we had this pastwinter can be attributed to the coldweather we had almost everywhere in thisarea. It was so bad at times that peo-ple just wouldn’t leave their homes.”

“And, in addition,” he stated, “manyof the plants here closed because of lackof fuel for heating purposes. All thishit us very hard. But, now we are againenjoying good averages and, it seems tome. we are on the way to even bettercollections as people begin to realizethe bad spell is finished. Just like myown family they sure want to get aroundonce again.”

Most heartening is the fact that loca-tions, which had never before figured as“top spots”, were now coming thru withbetter collections than they formerlyever did

Whereas many of the larger industrialplants had fallen off, especially where themerchandise machine ops are concerned,other locations had picked up, and theseseem to have balanced off any industrialspot loss to bring back normal collectionreturns.

One well known game and music op,who also operates cigarette, drink ven-

dors and candy machines, reported, “Be-cause the factories we have are workingso spasmodically these days, we find thatour overages in these spots, which usedto be our best locations, especially duringthe war, have fallen off.

“But”, he continues, “this is balancedoff by the fact that our other merchandisemachine locations have picked up and tosuch an extent that we are enjoying abetter average all around.

“Of course”, he also says, “we haveraised our candy, cigarette and drinkprices.”

From this survvey it can be reportedthat the games field continues to lead.Amusement machine ops are reportingbest returns so far. Merchandise andmusic equipment coinmen are next inline

It is believed, tho, that the music ma-chines will outdistance the merchandisersas the warme rweather continues. Mostof the music men have completely cov-ered all resort spots, some even allowingeqquipment to remain over the wintermonths to hold good spots.

On the average, tho, this news is themost heartening which has reached thetrade in many months, and the furtherfact that the operators believe in the newequipment of the manufacturers to helpboom their averages even higher, is asure sign of a real business revival for

the entire industry.

CAU STRIKEThe Cash Box to Make Plates Free of any

Charge for All Advertisers. Ads to Close

Thursdays 5 PM ’Til Strike Over.

NBV YCRK - The strike just called by thetypographers (Local 6, ITU) makes it nec-essary to change certain mechanical setupsin the use of type faces in all ptiblica—tions in this city.

In the production of advertisements, aretwo ways in which advertisers and their a-gencies can cooperate. Ads shoTold be setup completely, both as to type and illus-tration. If the complete plate is sent tous it should be the "original” (16 gaugethickness).

If the complete art work is sent to us..*The Cash Box*will make the plate free ofcharge. On smaller ads where the adverti-ser makes a complete plate, clean proofsshould be mailed to us, flat and well pro-tected by smooth, heavy cardboard.

Smaller advertisements that feature mer-chandise and equipment of all kinds - willbe handled to the best advantage.. ..with alimited amount of type used. These will beproduced in typewriter type style (as herenoted) and photo-type headlines will thenbe used (as the headlines on this page in-dicate) .

Due to the fact that these mechanicalproblems will consume much time, at first,and the further fact that all pages willhave to be completely engraved CLOSINGDAY MUST BE MOVED UP - TO THURSDAY OF EACHVfEEK AT 5 P.M.

Ads used in other magazines with or withiout illustrations can be handled very eas--ily and quickly by The Cash Box.These willube reproduced exactly as they originally^appear. There will be no charge for such?engravings.

Everything else concerned with the pro--duction of The Cash Box will continue onas usual.

The pages may not look quite the same asjthey have in past weeks, but, j\ist as injthe case of the Chicago newspapers, which]have been on strike for many, many months,!readers become accustomed to the change.

News items and editorials will be giventhe same fine treatment as in the past. We{urge you to send your news in just as youalways have.Speech attention will be givento all news. i

It is the sincere hope of »The Cash Box*'as well as of other publications in thisimportant printing center that this strikewill be speedily terminated. This is thevery first time in 50 years that the "BigSix" (Local 6, ITU) has gone on strike.

The Cash Box hopes that all advertiserswill bear with it while this strike is inprogress and will arrange to cooperate ingetting plates and art work to The CashBox, New York offices, as early in theweek as possible.

made among several leadingrecord ctLstributors in theeast vividly points outthat a large majority ofmusic operators^ as a unit,are not buying records forthe siraple reason that thepurchase of an order, iiYillIn the long run, mean high-er operating expenses.

In plain everyclair langua-gue it means that the opsare ’’fed up^’ vjith poor andeven ’’clialk” records,A recent smsh hit by an

Operators have been, asof late, taking those sanepoorly pressed records andturning them back into thedistributor* The diskdistrib, in order to keepthe good TJill and faith of.the music op, in the linehe carried, had to makegood to the op and substi-tute a lilce niu'iber of rec-ordings,

The survey conclusivelyproves that a great major-ity of record manufacturer-s are in business just forthe ride, and I107/ much theycan get out of it.

i''ere a diskery firmlyinterested in their organ-ization, he (tiie recordmanufacturer) vjould not beas haphazard as they areabout the quality of the 3a;’records.

Consensus of opinionamaig record d is tribs andjike box operators seems tobe that many record makersivill soon find themselvesout of business. Pistribsindica'fce that they will nothesitate to drop iDnes anddiscourage record buyersfrom patronizii'g those lin-es that continue to issuepoor records.

DISKS GET BIG EXPLOITATION AS WIRE

MUSIC FIELD KEEPS EXPANDING FASTNEIT YORK - Possibly biggestsurprise to all theold timeautomatic music operators isthe sudden and tremendous de-velonment of the wired musicfield.

All during the past war thefield lie dormant with manyof the belief that it wouldnever assume important pro-portions in the coin machineindustry.

In the past few months, tothe surprise of all, thisfield has suddenly zoomed toone of the most important positions in the juke box in-dustry, with more and moreoperators entering, or de-siring to enter, into it.Investigations have dis-

closed that the operators ofboth single and double chan-nel music are giving disksgreater exploitation thanany other medium in the coinoperated music machine field.By constantly playing the

disks over and over again,for professional, industrial,retail and other types of locations, they are populariz-ing a tremendous number ofrecords which would neverothen’dse reach so far inthe field.

Even more surprising is thefact that so many of theseoperators are using mechan-isms which are continuouslyplaying about 10 to 20 rec-ords without halt. This hits.The average location using a

single channel system is getting this play continuously.Customer after customer buy-ing the time, with the re-sult, that tunes are beingmade popular faster than atany other time in historj^.

Since the operators are theprogrammers, it tics right inwith the nevr pop tunes andthe entire record business isenjoying a nevr outlet vrhichis sure to prove one of themost important within a veryshort time.Many of the leading manu-

facturers will soon break in
