1 f nE SUNDAY OREGOXIAy. PORTLAND. NOVEMBER 6, 1910. , - the Only Anatomaitic Cliae Commpuitieg Madfoipe in the Woo .Ms This is a strong statement. The strengtbjf it lies in the truth of it.' No statement is stronger than it is true. In making this statement, we call your at tention to the component parts of it. First, it is AUTOMATIC; second, it COMPUTES; third, it pays exact CIIAXGE. The above claim, therefore, means that the POTTER AUTOMATIC CHANGE COMPUTING MACHINE is the only one of its kind in the world that combines the three features v of working automatically, computing without men tal calculation and actually paying the correct amount of cash change. To equal the Potter Machine, any other device would have to do what it will do, not once in awhile, but EVERY TIME AND ALL THE TIME. DEMONSTRATION Showing Exactly How Cor rect Change Is Made - ' Without Mental Aid Will yon follow the dem onstration of this machine on the illustration of the adjoin ing keyboard t If so, you will be as enthusiastic over the pos sibilities of the machine as its warmest friends already are. Let us suppose: Mrs. A. en ters your store. She purchases a pair of shoes. The price is $3.50. Mrs. A. tenders your clerk a Five-Dollar Gold Piece. The clerk makes out a sales slip, upon which he enters the amount of the purchase ($3.50) and the amount received ($5.00). He despatches the money and slip to the cashier by messenger or automatically. In front of the cashier is one of the Potter Machines. The cashier glances at the sales slip, depresses the $3.00 key on the right-hand keyboard, which would be the figure 3 in the third column to the left. She also depresses the 50-cent key in the next column to the right. That registers the amount of the purchase. She then depresses the $5.00 key on the left keyboard, representing the amount received. This is the key marked 5 in the second column to the right. The sales slip is then inserted in the slot on the table just ' below the keyboard. The lever on the right is pulled forward about six inches and the work is done. This is the result : The exact amount of change, $1.50, in largest denominations, falls into the receptacle at the bot tom of the machine. The sales slip is stamped $3.50, the exact amount of the purchase. On the tabulating device at the top. the amount, $3.50 is added to the total sales made before. The double keyboard makes the computing possible. With out it no computing could be done. This machine is the only double keyboard, change-computing device in the world. THE STOCK OF THIS COMPANY IS FOR SALE. The present price of it is $60 per share, pay able either in cash or upon payments of $5.00 down and $o.00 per month, per share. After the sale of every 1000 shares, the price will be raised $5.00 per share. hen the stock reaches par, by this method, enough stock will have been sold for all immediate purposes. It behooves the man or woman, therefore, who has read of the splendid profits that have resulted from earlv investment in industrial companies, to buy in this as early as possible, for this company is as certain to succeed as any company can be. The character of gentlemen who have associated themselves with the company and, who are directing its efforts, is almost sufficient guaranty of this. OFFICERS I. Irving Potter.

T. Irving. Potter, designer of this ma chine, has spent ten years in perfecting it. He is TEN YEARS AHEAD OF ALL POSSIBLE COMPETI TION. First, he successfully built and operated a money-paying device that worked automatically; then followed equal success in the building of an adding device. In conjunction with both of these, the stamping of the sales slip, was worked out. Perfect ing each of these, he soon realized the tremendous advantage that would follow the Combination of the THREE MACHINES IN ONE. It was but a short step to this result. Having established the principles upon which each worked, the joining of all in one was merely an THIS COUPON FOR DESCRIBFS INVESTMENT AINU rviAJl-IlNE.

GENTLEMEN: "Will you kindly forward a copy 'of your booklet, "A MECHANICAL BRAIN" fullv describing the POTTER AUTOMATIC COMPUTING CHANGE MACHINE, as well 'as the'possibilities of the investment, in which I am somewhat interested.

The acquisition of the Uliner patent, in volving the additional unit necessary to make the machine a perfectly computing one, completed the whole idea. The plans have all been drawn and the different parts have all been designed. Each has been tried in its place and found successful. One contract has been let in Portland for the making of ?, model machine, which will be completed and ready for exhibition within three weeks. With the ap pearance of that model, a NEW ERA WILL HAVE BEEN INAUGURATED IN THE HANDLING OF CASH. Those who have examined the drawings, seen the various parts actually in operation and re flected for a moment upon the wonderful field of usefulness for this machine, have become impressed with the certainty of its future. FULLY A PLANT WILL BE BUILT IN PORTLAND. This will probably be constructed this Winter. It will be a preliminary plant, but will always be used by the company for the assembling of machines intended for Pacific Coast Country distribution. The company has already bought and paid for 30 acres of manufacturing property near Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, immediately adjoining the recently acquired 70-acre site of the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company, for which they paid $250,000. It is purposed to erect the large, permanent plant upon this property. The Com pany feels assured, barring unforeseen obstacles, that the Pennsylvania factory will be completed, machinery installed and machines manufactured and ready for the market within two years. CALL Company A 6291 ITS SIMPLICITY Showing Comparatively Small Cost of Manufac ture and Profit Result The first important thing to be said about .the POTTER AUTOMATIC CHANGE COM PUTING MACHINE is the fact that its mechanism is operated almost exclusively upon the lever system, as compared with the system of springs, which are unreliable, used in most other similar devices. Strength is thereby added, permanent re liability !s guaranteed, while cost of manufacture is greatly lessened. This machine is so constructed that it would re quire quite as much ingenuity to put it out of repair as it re quires to build almost any other kind. The second great . feature of this machine is the small num ber of parts of which it is con structed. There are only 1200 parts, as compared with 3500 parts comprised in a well known adding machine now upon the market, which can do no more, infinitely less, in fact, than the Potter Machine. The less number of parts reacts wonderfully upon the less oost of manufacture. This is par ticularly true, when it is re membered that most of the parts in the Potter Machine are die cut, which is about as inex pensive a method of manufac ture as is known. Another really material point is the amazingly small labor cost in assembling this appa ratus. The assembling of the parts is a very minor matter. To most people, as a matter of fact, the truly wonderful fea ture of the whole machine, next, of course, to the almost human attainments it accomplishes, is the remarkable small cost of making it. This means, as well, a wonderfully large profit, as the Potter Machine will readily sell for as much or more than any other mechanical appliance for office use that has ever been manufactured. The make up of the machine is one of the strong ' arguments for the in vestment. DIRECTORS T. Irving Potter, T. B. Potter, H. C. Wortman, H. V. Ramsdell, A. D. Bowen, W. J. Clemens, . L. E. Kern.
