In the operating business, the new trend
towards service machines has received a
powerful stimulation by introduction of the
new METAL TYPER.
It taps entirely new sources of revenue for
alert operators.
MET AL TYPERS render a definite service to
every community by putting within reach
of the public a coin-operated device which
will emboss up to 32 letters upon a beau-
tiful metal disc which is vended for only
five cents.
Every Medal vended is an active salesman
for you, because people like to show them
to their friends, who in turn become patrons
of METAL TYPERS.
Already, METAL TYPERS have proven to
their owners that they can earn substantial
earnings from the very start, such profits
increasing week after week as the machine
becomes known in its territory.

REVIEW
An investment in MET AL TYPERS will pro-
vide a Lifetime Income for you; there is a
consistent demand for these useful Medals.
At the same time, the quality workmanship
built into this MET AL TYPER is your
guarantee that it will always function cor-
rectly and give you trouble-free service year
after year.
No other machine in the legal service field
could offer you such consistently high earn-
ings over so long a period as MET AL TYPER.
No wonder that seasoned operators in many
territories are making MET AL TYPERS the
backbone of their operating program, be-
cause they can depend on their earnings·
under all circumstances.

Metal Typer
CHICAGO-Metal Typer is the name of
a new service machine now being manufac-
tured by the Groetchen Tool Company. Al.
though the principal of the machine is no t
exactly new still Groetchen has brought
the idea up to date with modern refine-
men ts and appointments.
The machine is exactly what its name
implies. It cuts letters onto identification
discs and vends them. The machine is
manually operated and a patron picks the
wording desired and controls the complete
opera tion of the device.
Operators have found a machine of this
type to be profitable to operate in coun t•
less hundreds of different types of loca•
tions. The handy discs can be used for
any number of purposes such as identifica•
tion for key chains, baggage, clothing,
various items of personal property, remem-
brance tokens, etc.
The new Groetchen machine is stream•
lined to the nth degree. Beautifully fin-
ished it has a tilted lettering dial for easy
visibility, effortless control handle, mirror
at average head heighth, convenience shelf
for packages a person might be carrying,
etc.
The Metal Typer . is far from being a
novelty or amusement device. It performs
a definite service and therefore is the type
of machine that can remain in service for
an indefinite period.
