The Mutoscope
T rad e

Is Famous All Over the World
T he latest im proved m odels are ligh t
weight, all mctaJ. construction, clean
cu t and very attractive.
The only coin-operated movie ma­
chine on the market— an automatic
min’ature theatre — playing genuine
motion pictures. The latest reels in­
clude almost every type of theatrical
appeal and feature many popular
stars of the stage and the screen.
Marcus Loew, William Fox, Adolph
Zukor and many others famous in the
line, trace their start in business di­
rectly back to their association with
the Mutoscope.
Men, women, children— everybody,
everywhere— like to see their fa^voi-
ite stars in action and are glad to
pay to see them again and again.
There’s a thrill in dropping a coin m
the slot, turning the handle and see­
ing a real moving picture.
The Mutoscope is a steady re­
peater. It can be easily # installed
wherever there are 18 square inches
of floor space available. There are
now thousands of places where each
Mutoscope is earning from ? 5 .UU to
$10.00 weekly. No supplies to buy—
no chance of the machine getting
empty.
.
Put the Mutoccope on a commis­
sion basis in stores, theatres, hotel
and club lobbies or restaurants,
where they may have a bit of space
free
Give the owner of the location
a small percentage of the gross earn­
ings of the machine. The rest is
yours— clear profit.
100 Mutoscopes should earn $£(,-
375.00 a year. Let us show you how.

An operator’ s m achine throu g h ou t— sturdy
con s tru ction ; has tw o E xhibit' slid in g slots; separate cash box
a nd com pact for coun ter use.
Interest never w ears o ff because

T he phenom inal success o f t 0

different subjects.
Operators who are anxious to establish a ri you
route w ill find the P hotoscop e the “ backbone o f their business.

    ------THINK THIS OVER------
    these hachines are being sold to operators, bu t you seldom sec any used ^ ^ x e s

    Tlie reason is because these m achines are “ steady repeaters.”

    W e are regularly brin gin g out new ideas to keep up the interest,
    no difference.
    pay fo r them selves over and over again, and as operators cr.nnot buy anything near as good,
