PROUD AS A PEACOCK OVER PARADISE “ W e pride ourselves in once again having given the indus­ try an outstanding hit in Para­ dise,” declared Dave Gottlieb, president o f D. Gottlieb & Co., Chicago, as his company an­ nounced their new game which they describe as a master creation of magnificance. “ Par­ adise represents another feath­ er in our hats,” Dave went on, “ another game that will enable operators to strut their stuff to the tune of top collections. “ For sheer beauty and splen­ dor, no game has ever ap­ proached such heights before. The backboard portrays our new Plumage-Glo effect which depicts this most beautiful of all birds in fullest elegance and splendor, with a light play among its gorgeous plumes that is beyond description. The playboard, too, with its vivid coloring and brilliant catalin bumpers presents an irridescence that can’t be described. The game has 8 ways to win and dozens of other new fea­ tures, including 8 new scoring rollovers. “ Most important of all, how­ ever, is what do players and operators say about the game? W ell, listen to C. C. Hutchin­ son, leading test operator of Waukegan, 111., who knows from experience. His report is typical of reports coming in from all over, and these are his w ords: ‘I was sure Gold Star was going to be a success. I predict Paradise will be even greater. My collections sub­ stantiate my predictions.’ “ When the men who know tell you that, you can be sure. W e’re proud as peacocks our­ selves fo r having given this © International Arcade Museum great game to the industry, and predict a brilliant success for this brilliant hit.” MILLS SIGNS ORDER Fred Mills, president of Mills Novelty Co., Chicago, put his name on the largest single or­ der ever placed for 16 m.m. projection equipment by order­ ing 17 carloads of RCA pro­ jectors, amplifiers and loud­ speakers for the new Panoram “ Soundies” ( c oi n - in - ch u te m ovies).
