Said President Sherwood Egbert of the Outboard Motor Manufacturers' Association: "Instead of bringing out a huge array of new accessories, we have settled down to making our product more reliable, cheaper to operate...

This year the sound in Seeburg's gaudy new juke is stereophonic. To the jukebox industry, the new sound is only a little newer than the two young men who call the tune for Seeburg: President Delbert W. Coleman and Board Chairman Herbert J. Siegel. The corporation (fiscal 1958 sales: about $25 million) makes not only jukeboxes but most of Western Union's facsimile equipment, plus key electronic components...
