JUNIOR TOM THUMB SCALE
The JUNIOR TOM THUMB SCALE is an outside scale, the head and post are made of aluminum,
triple baked enamel. The base is made of cast iron, porcelain enameled.
It is built without springs, we use counter-balance weights in place of springs and this means the
scale will weigh accurately from I to 300 lbs., it does not change with the temperature.
It is equipped with the non-dogging coin chute and trouble-proof trip-off. You put a Watling scale
out and forget it until you want some money, then you go around and take out the pennies.
Two people cannot get weighed for the same penny, only the person standing on the platform can
get weighed.
It has an extra large cash bo"i, the length of the post. Leveling screws under the base and many other
improvements. It doesn't take up much space, very attractive, and you can put it in locations where
they could not use a larger scale.
100% EFFICIENCY-Give the public the best for their money and they will come again for more.
That's what you do when you install a Watling No-Spring Scale, for the 'accommodation of the public.

200 FORTUNE TELLING SCALE-NO SPRINGS
YOUR WEIGHT AND FOR,TUNE le
The above scale is our new 200 Fortune Scale. Think of
a scale built with a fortune telling attachment with
OVER 200 ... QUIZ QUESTIONS ... DREAMS ... FOR- •
TUNES . . . all on one reel. You only have to change
the reel once a year, and when a person stands on the
scale and turns the knob they are hound to find some
Quiz Question, Dream or Fortune they want answered,
and they are hound to come hack day after day for dif-
ferent answers, and they will he there waiting for them.
It is something new and something different and it puts
the Fortune Telling Scale just 10 years ahead of the field.
HOW IT OPERATES: I. Step on the platform of the
scale. 2. Turn the little knob at the right, until you get
the question you want answered between the red lines.
3. Put penny in the slot and the scale does the rest. You
get your correct weight and your fortune for one cent.
Those high profit producing locations will welcome the
new 200 Fortune Scale. Be the first in your town to get
a sample.
