A U T O C O U N T — The W O R L D ’ S F IN E ST pin table is the answer
by A . B. T . to the O U TSTA N D IN G business men OPERATORS
who have requested and demanded D E L U X E equipment from
us. A U T O C O U N T was not designed or IN T E N D E D for any
experienced operators who can be influenced to buy at a price
for T E M P O R A R Y earnings measured by weeks or perhaps
months. A . B. T. tables earn consistent profits 52 W E E K S
P ER Y E A R , and professional operators know this from expe­
rience A U T O C O U N T opens a virgin field of P IN E LO C A ­
TIONS which bring constant profits. Build yourself a P E R M A ­
M O D E R N
E Q U IP M E N T
N E N T high class business. Don’ t fight for ordinary spots
with ordinary equipment. There is more room at the top A N D
M ORE P R O M T with less effort. Less work. Less overhead.
A . B. T. tables are not often found idle or in storage or offered
at ridiculous prices— W H Y ? They are working for their owners
and giving splendid service after years of faithful performance.
A U T O C O U N T totals the score in one place. A U T O C O U N T
prints every total score on paper tape for the operator’s pro­
tection. Records all receipts. Records all disbursements. The
modern way.
Always mention AUTOMATIC AGE when writing to advertisers

Why Operators Buy What They Buy
joe Huber, of the Huber Coin Machine
Sales Co., Chicago, and Secretary of
the Coin Machine Mfrs. Assn.
“ Your AUTOCOUNT is a remarkable
. step forward and is easily the outstand­
ing product of the season. The modern,
progressive operator concentrates on
high class permanent locations and
AUTOCOUNT makes it easy for him.”
John A. Backman, Dallas, Texas, Sec’y.
and Tre,as. of Texas Coin Operated
Vending Mach. Assn., Inc.
“ I will say this now. The AUTO­
COUNT is re-acting better than I sup­
posed it would. Locations like them. No
running around to add up the score.”
Brisbois Bros., Fonda, Iowa
“ AUTOCOUNT pleases 100%. Please
ship additional order at once.”
E. P. Rimp, Birmingham, Ala.
“ Am selling them all AUTOCOUNTS
now.”
Independent Vending Machine Co.,
Chicago
“ We bought AUTOCOUNTS the first
time we saw them and are continuing
to buy them. There is no objection to
the price, because the public likes to
play them and the merchant appreciates
what his customers like.”
F. A. Mann, Chicago, 111.
Anthony Petteruti, Providence, R. 1.
“ I must say that in the fifteen months
I have had Marbl-Jax they always work
perfectly and earn more money than any
other machine, and still getting plenty
of play.”
Ralph Cohn, West Palm Beach, Fla.
“ The AUTOCOUNT is an investment
for the operator. For the first time an
accurate checkup can be kept on earn­
ing power. No operator can afford to
be without them.”
Paul Laymon, Los Angeles, Calif.
“ AUTOCOUNT is sure a beauty.”
“ AUTOCOUNT is a great machine.”
John Cummings, Memphis, Tenn.
“ Last week AUTOCOUNT took in
$75.00.”
Baum Novelty Co., St. Louis, Mo.
“ We have received most loyal co­
operation from A.B.T,, so we are turn-
in in some real AUTOCOUNT orders.”
Joe Calcutt of The Vending Machine Co.,
Fayetteville, No. Car.
“ E x p ress in s ta n tly five AUTO­
COUNTS also freight five immediately.”
R. F. Mason, Liberty, Mo.
“ The gross on this machine (AU TO­
COUNT) will vary from nine to eigh­
teen dollars a day and has wilted every­
thing on the market (referring to four
competitive machines).”
G. B. Novelty Co., Miami, Fla.
“ We found it easy to place our fif­
teen AUTOCOUNTS in such wonderful
locations as Miami Biltmore Hotel,
Floridian Hotel, Pan Coast Hotel, Met­
ropolitan Bar, etc. AUTOCOUNTS cost
more and earn much more and continue
to earn. Our warehouse is full of tables
of many makes, but none are A.B.T. All
our A.B.T. equipment has brought
steady profits The oldest one looks al­
most new and works perfect.”
Royalty Mfg. Co., Chicago, 111.
“ We operate 2500 games, mostly A.
B.T. in Chicago and have just placed
an order with the American Sales Corp.,
for 200 AUTOCOUNTS. It’s the best
thing we have ever seen and opens up
a virgin field for us. We have secured
some wonderful locations with AUTO­
COUNT which were never open to pin
tables before.”
Sparks Novelty Co., Soperton, Ga.
“ A.B.T. Pin tables made us more prof­
it than any other type we have handled,
and we learned this early, as your equip­
ment is showing especially splendid prof­
it today, even on your very first models.
AUTOCOUNT receipts are astonishing.
The total adder fascinates the players.
Time is saved formerly required to add
scores; arguments are ended, and be­
cause of the accurate check we can fig­
ure to give the players a real break. We
expect our AUTOCOUNTS to still be
earning us dividends in 1936.”
Frank Hassell, Chcago, 111.
“ I am pretty careful about what I
buy, and while the AUTOCOUNT may
seem high priced to some, I know it is
the best investment on the market.”
H. J. Klebba, Chicago, 111.
“ I have been operating A. B. T. games
ever since you built the first one, but
nothing equals the AUTOCOUNT.”
Midwest Vending Co., Chicago, 111., by
F. B. Craycroft.
“ You kid me about being Scotch. But
I can’t be so tight when I pay $82.50
for AUTOCOUNTS, but they are worth
it.”
W. H. Robinson, Orlando, Fla.
“ I have operated coin equipment for
many years. A. B. T. products have
been by far the most profitable. Marbl-
Jax going strong after two years con­
stant use. AUTOCOUNT is the most
profitable of all and years ahead. IT
HAS EVERYTHING.”
Lee S. Jones, Executive Vice Pres, of the
American Sales Corp., Chicago., also
Pres, of the Coin Machine Mfrs.
Assn.
“ The AUTOCOUNT is the last word.
We have sold thousands of pin games
but never one like this. It is complete
and it does things that no other one can.
It is a real pleasure to handle this game.”
A. B. T. MFG. CO.
3311 Carroll Ave.
