IT ’S A FACT th a t many an operator has been stung w ith flash-in -thc-pan machines th a t are
here today and gone tomorrow.
Satisfied operators are those who invest in machines th a t have a
“ come back” play— machines in which the interest docs not wear off. W H Y CH ANGE LO CATIO NS
every week when you can change the machine and keep it in the same spot? There is something
wrong w ith machines th a t chase the players.
Good, profitable machines a ttra c t the public and
keep i t up.
Why Is This Machine a Repeater?
Because you can make a new machine out of it in
two minutes, by changing the display sign and loading
it w ith a different series of cards. We publish at least
fifty different series of cards for the Ideal card vender
and bring out a new series of cards every th ir ty days.
A player can buy 64 cards out of th is machine— a fu ll
set—w ith o u t getting the same card twice.
Many players
take 3, 5, 10 or more cards before leaving the machine—
and come back next day fo r more. I t is quite usual for
the Ideal to sell from 1,000 to 3,000 cards a week. An
Ideal in D e troit recently sold over $30.00 worth of cards
in five days.
Price— Ideal Card Vender w ith
1500 cards_________ $15.00
Why Is This Machine a Repeater?
Bccausc you can change the display sign and put in a new reel of
picturc« every week or two and keep something new in fro n t of the
players all the tim e. The Photoscope holds five sets of pictures— so a t­
tractive th a t most players w ill spend five coins to see a ll five sets. I t
has five times tyo1 earning power of any picture machine containing only
one set of views. We publish a w onderful line of genuine photo, stereo
views for the Photoscopc and are co n tin u a lly adding new pictures— both
Comedy sets and A rt Mcdcl sets. We furn ish the Photoscopo w ith either
lc slot or 5c slot. You give them a “ look” fo r th e ir coin and they’ re
satisfied.
