Big Eli News ~ February 1928

Ladies and Gentlemen, Readers of BIG ELI NEWS, it give the Editor a tingle of pleasure to introduce you to Mr. Robert Bollinger of Oaks Park, Portland, Oregon. Robert's portrait appears on the front-cover of this issue of BIG ELI NEWS; and he has the unique distinction of being one of the younger members of the BIG ELI Family Fraternity. Robert is eighteen years of age, just a plain "boy" well like by his associates and in addition to that is also a real, live young business man. This year he graduated from the High-School in Portland, Oregon, but his studies previous did not keep him from becoming the owner of several Big Park Amusement Devices.

Among his latest purchases is a No. 12 BIG ELI WHEEL, installed early during the 1927 Park Season, a photograph of which appears on this page. In addition to the wheel, Robert also owns a Miniature Railway with 2,000 feet of track two engines, six cars with a bridge and tunnel.

In a recent letter Robert states that extensive improvements are being carried out at Oaks Park chief of which is the filling in of the board-walk with fine gravel and also the addition of more space for parking automobiles.
