The second song is "Things go better ----with Coca Cola" Then "Give my regards to Broadway" which was featured in another Coke ad---with different words. Paul also did a promotion for TUMS---when they changed from all white--- to various colored TUMS. I forget the theme song or words. (About 1962-63)

What are those pipes on the bottom called?

Why does the belguim band organ not have the fancy top like it does now?

[kazombie]

@anglerfly The original owner burned the top and sides to keep warm during the prohition-depression era. The ones now are either from another organ or reproduced ones.

[anglerfly]

@kazombie How did pau leakins attach it?

[kazombie]

@anglerfly Very carefully!!!!

This film was made in the 1960's as a promotional tool to show Coca Cola Co. who was interested in being a sponser of Paul Eakins and mechanical music show that appeared at fairs accross the country.
