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

    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,

    SCALE
    The only Scale of the
    kind in the world
    No words or pictures can de­
    scribe it in all its magnificence and
    beauty. You must see it to appre­
    ciate it.
    How the Profit Sharing For­
    tune Telling Mirror Scale
    Operates
    You deposit your coin in the
    slot, which releases the indicator
    hand, which registers your weight
    on the dial. Then you step off the
    platform, which releases the com,
    allowing it to drop on the arrow,
    spinning it around. Wherever the
    arrow stops it indicates your for­
    tune, then the coin percolates down
    the pin board, and, if it drops into
    the cup, you have received your
    weight and fortune free. If it goes
    into the cash box, you have paid
    for your weight and fortune. It is
    not necessary to get weighed to
    get your fortune, as the fortune
    mechanism works independent of
    the scale, making two machines
