THE GREATEST GAME
EVER PRODUCED/
Interesting, exciting skill has been put into every action of M A JO R
LEAGUE . . . Never has there been a game so thrilling . . . Here is a
marble game that simulates real baseball . . . A game that the experienced
player forsakes all other games to play . . . How the skillful player can
make the marbles run around the bases — singles, doubles, triples, Home
Runs!! People who never before enjoyed marble games are finding
M A JO R LEAGUE a new source of amusement . . . M A JO R LEAGUE is
the King of Automatic Entertainers . . . an unequalled money maker for
operators! W ith M A JO R LEAGUE on location you can feel secure in
the knowledge that at last you have a game that will stay put — that will
continue to make money for MONTHS and MONTHS! And a game that
will pay for itself in just a few days on an average location . . . On vhe
next page is charted some of the exciting unusual action of MAJOR*
LEAGUE . . . Make no mistake — M A JO R LEAGUE is different — it is
not just another baseball game, it is a tremendous money maker — two
games in one — a sensation on every location . . . Insure the future of
your operating business — putting M A JO R LEAGUE on location today
means you start making money immediately — the biggest money you
have made in years!!
PROFIT PROVEN
One hundred M A JO R LEAGUE games were tested on one hundred dif­
ferent locations for ninety days before being offered for national sales.
M A JO R LEAGUE was not manufactured as "something to sell." M A JO R
LEAGUE was produced to meet the demand of operators for a game that
would really make them money — that would stay on location month
after month . . .
You take no chance — no risk — when you invest in M A JO R LEAGUE
because M A JO R LEAGUE is not an experiment, it is a positive, proven
