THE COIN M A C H I N E JOURNAL

M y , IQ33
From this tiny outpost of the Western frontier, as
it was nearly 100 years ago, Chicago has grown to
a city of more than four million souls. This his­
toric spot has been restored that visitors may see
what obstacles were met that we may enjoy the
countless advantages of today. Only a few years
later Mr. Thomas W atling launched his career as a
manufacturer of coin operated machines producing
the world famous W atling Springless coin operated
personal weighing scale. The history of the W at­
ling Scale is likewise a history of Chicago and the
coin machine industry.
O ld Fort Dearborn—Only short walk from 22nd
Street Gate
TOM THUMB FORTUNE
TELLING SCALE
Your Fortune and Weight
One Cent
This is the only scale of its kind ever built.
It is built without springs.
It is the talk of the century.
It will invariably increase the earnings over 100% over any
other small type of scale. Why? Because, the average per­
son, especially the women, are not satisfied stepping on the
scale and getting their weight and fortune, but they will drop
in additional pennies to get different fortunes.
The Tom Thumb Fortune Telling Scale will hold locations
where other scales are not tolerated.
Take our advice— DON’T BUY PRICE, BUY QUALITY.
Terms to Suit Your Convenience.
