The lead we took over out competitors over forty
years ago in the coin-operated scale business is grow­
ing greater and greater as time goes on, with the
result that today we are in a class by ourselves. (W e
have seen them come, and we have seen them go, but
we go on forever.) FIFTEEN years ago we revolu­
tionized the coin-operated scale industry by placing
on the market the first and only twin counter-balance
scale you did NOT have to set level to have it func­
tion properly.

We will build the TOM THUMB scale on special
orders with any combination of colors shown on this
folder, or any colors you wish in plain or mottled
design. Add 10 % to price for special combinations.

No springs to stretch or break. No vending ap­
paratus to get out of order. No printing apparatus
to adjust. No tickets to install. No dating device to
change daily. W hy experiment? Just drop your coin
in the slot, "that’s all.” The mechanism does the rest.
It works while you sleep!
Think of it! One adjustment screw to set scale in
balance at all times. A child can do it!
C a sh o r T e r m s
If you prefer a scale on a percentage basis, we will
refer your inquiry to one of our distributors in your
territory. Write for further information.
