M A N '? Y EA R S alert operators, who know w hat the
operating business is all about, have w anted such a machine
as M ID G E T .
For 2 Reasons



FIRST, if is the smallest autom atic Front M in t Vender (o r Jackpot Bell) on the mar­
ket with all the money-making features o f the larger old-tim e machines.
S E C O N D , it is the lightest machine in weight that has ever been produced, with
the fine workmanship and quality necessary to give perfect service fo r many years.
S k ille d coin machine engineers have been patiently building and improving the
M ID G E T for months, and have now succeeded in producing a machine so light in
weight and com pact in form its fam e is sweeping the country.
H aving
operated fo r many years in all parts of the U. S. A.,
I have fe lt th.e need of such a machine as the M ID G E T . I
have closely watched the progress made in the developm ent
o f M ID G E T and have tried it out in every conceivable loca­
tion to prove that the M ID G E T is the last word in reliability.
■ he M ID G E T is noiseless and so smooth in action it will re­
place thousands o f the heavy standard machines. It has every­
thing! It is the kind o f machine I take great pleasure in giving
my personal endorsement, and I recommend the M ID G E T as the
greatest im provem ent in pay-off machines in recent years.
