^/^fc. BJBHm* Jewelry from an exclusive Jewelry House, you are liable to get both skinned and soaked, W ™ "*• ^*U jr because most the exclusive jewelers have very elevated ideas, and in their estimation no business is quite so dignified as the jewelry business aud consequently ought to pay about 300 percent profit, so that an article we sell for 50 cents a dozen, they have the nerve to ask upwards of $2.00 a dozen. Now how do you like it — there is a whole lot we could tell along this line if we had time. WE are busy a.11 the time, WE have no dull seasons. We don't try to make fancy profits, we don't have to — for when canes ain't selling, maybe clocks are, and when they ain't, maybe collar buttons or some other lines are. We have everything a Streetman or Specially Dealer needs, EVERYTHING from first hands. no dead stock, all active sellers. We don't calculate on making "fancy profits.":!, We don't offer " Baits" for suckers to choke on. Ours is an even tempered business, the same throughout.

Til I O 11 I HI I UT lis Klconstructe H p d for the purpose of giving a quick and economical shine and is operated by means of a small It mHiwd Mii nu Alnl H MIL IN. t - h - - Electric motor which is within an electric circuit. This motor is started and stopped by means Qf circujt being being closed through the introduction of penny or nickel. The Machine is run a pre-determined length of time, the practical length of time being about ten (10) seconds which under the pressure and speed gives a first-class shine and polish to a single shoe. It then becomes necessary to place the other shcxs in position and put anotlier coin in the slot. This gives the Public a complete shine of both shoes in twenty (20) seconds for two (2) cents. The Machine stands by itself without being bolted to the flooring, it weighing ouu hundred and sixty-live (165) pounds complete OeCttT. and all adjusted ready for attaching to any electrical circuit. The entire construction is such that it is practically indestructible by ordinary usage and never gets out of order. The polishing spindles are caused to come in contact with and cover the entire irregular shape of the shoe by means of the pecu- liar arrangement of swinging bevel gears and spring adjustment. These polishing spindles are constructed of a combination oi silk, chamois skin and imported feit in alternating layers, the felt carrying the solution which is a secret process and does to the shoe or leiither in comparison to the dauber paste what the modern French rub down polish does to wood in comparison to the old method of copal varnish applied with the brush. The life of these Polishers represent approximately ten thousand (10,000) pairs of shoes foreach set, the cost of each is about one dollar ($1.00) per set complete and are readily and easily exchanged. The capacity of this Machine under ordinary penny conditions in central loca- tion is from $10.00 to $12.00 per day of twelve (12) hours. In location such as Parks and Summer and Sea-side Resorts the Machine will secure as many nickles as in other locations it will pennies and the slot for adjust- ment of these conditions is readily changeable. Uf A or A now P'aciQ£ a limited number of these machines on the ff C 9l6 market at §100 each, outright. This is for 60 days only, after which time the Automatic Shoe Polishing Ma- chine will not be sold but placced on royalty. Those purchasing now can place their machines anywhere without restriction. A deposit of 25 per cent is required on all orders. NOVELTY MFG. CO., STATIO1V A, I1NIQIA1\JAF»OLIS, I1MD.

MARCHING iMflOUSH A PARK WITHOUT AN ARCADE GEORGIA IS LIKE A FOREST WITHOUT GAME. An Arcade with Mills Machines hays the game—gets the money—because Mills Machines are the right kind, take well, wear well, draw the crowd by their attract- ive appearance and are a constant source of revenue. They are uniformly operated with immense profit to the owner. One reason a Penny Arcade pays so well is that all money taken in is clear profit. Another reason is that it does not require an army of clerks—one man can look after fifty or more machines. The fact that Arcades costing 885,000 have been erected and run successfully is convincing. We furnish outfits from $1,000 up. The reason it pays to equip an Arcade with MILLS Machines is that the Mills Novelty Co. is prepared to furnish a complete outfit, a greater variety of machines than any one else—the kind that take in the money and do not get out of order. It's an advantage, you know, to buy a complete outfit from one firm.

Every up-to-date Park now-a-days should have a Penny Arcade. To make a success of an Arcade it is absolutely necessary to have NEW, NOVEL and ATTRACTIVE machines. Don't make the mistake of trying to run an Arcade with old and second-hand machines. It's the new features that pay. Send for Catalogue No. 24 for full particulars.
