    OP
    Quoted from DennisDodel:

    Someone in another thread was looking for a pinball article called "The Lure Of Pinball" that was published in the October 1957 issue of Harper's magazine. I happen to have that issue and posted a copy of the article there.
    I have some other old magazine and newspaper articles that are pinball related. Some go way back to 1935. Someone else posted that they have quite a treasure trove of this stuff. Others have said that they would enjoy looking at these. It's interesting to see how pinball has been perceived by the public over the years.
    I will post articles as I have time and look forward to any and all contributions. Good bathroom reading! Post away!
    Following is the Harper's article. "The Lure Of Pinball" by Julius Segal. October, 1957. Page 44.

    Bump!
    Came across this while looking for Gottlieb North Star info...

    It's in the Coin Op section of Oct 24th 1964 Billboard magazine:
