Description

SLOT MACHINES OF YESTERYEAR - MILLS OF THE FORTIES - Operator's Manual
by Peter Bach, Post-Era Books, CA, 1980.
"Operator's Manual" is a MISLEADING  title.  This is NOT an Operator's Manual.  "The spirit of Mills in the fast-moving decade of the Forties has been captured by reproducing an extensive, though necessarily abridged, choice of
literature
, largely from the Mills Novelty Company's own in-house press.  It ranges from full reproductions of product brochures and service
literature
to
selections
from line folders and display advertising from the
Billboard
, supplemented by special editorial matter extracted from
Spinning Reels
, the company's monthly trade journal for the operator."
Illustrated in black-and-white, this book reproduces advertisements, patent drawing information, and technical aspects of the various slot machines covered in this text.  Noted are various models, their mechanisms and features.  Whether a collector, dealer or historian of antique slot machines, one will find this book to be an invaluable reference.
