Comments

Amusement Novelty Co. was owned by Warren Beasley. The company also went by Beasley Amusement Novelty Co. Warren was listed as the vice President but he seemed to be the face of the company. The Company was awarded a contract in 1966 for Twenty Five year lease at Centre Island  in Toronto. I found that later he was awarded. an additional 10 years lease. At that time he declared he was not going to develop certain features like a mini golf course. The park was on the theme   of  turn of the century Village. In the early 1970s the company was awarded a contract to provide games of Chance at the Canadian National Exhibit. The article also made reference of residents Patronizing Charity Casinos.  Leads me to believe the games of chance  were slot machines. I could not find machines made by the company. The company seems to be a facilitator of  activities and equipment for Amusement. Not a manufacturer.
