THE COMPTOMETER SWEEPS THE BOARDS 



IN THE NEW YORK 



Speed and Accuracy Contest 



>t Madison Square Garden Office Appliance and Business System Show. The swiftest and most 

 accurate adders in the world break all previous official records for speed and accuracy in addition and 

 multiplication. 



There were two classes of contests ; those open to adding-Iisting machines only, and those open to 

 all classes of machines. 



The Comptometer won every contest open to al) classes of machines, there being 

 nine American and three European makes on exhibition. 



Here are some of the records made on the Comptometer in the contests open to all machines. 

 No record equalling even the slowest of the following was made on any make of machine other than 

 the Comptometer :

Every one absolutely correct, and every one using the Comptometer. 



When you buy an adding or calculating machine, get the one that is good all around. 



You can get a good adding machine for 300 or 40Q dollars, and a good multiplying and dividing 

 machine for about 250 dollars, but the adding machine will not be as good for adding, nor will the 

 multiplying machine be as good for multiplying as is the Comptometer, which is twice as rapid and 

 more convenient to use than either of the others in its own field, ^'et the Comptometer costs only 

 a fraction as much. The Comptometer is as universal in its practical and time-saving application as 

 the science of arithmetic itself. 



Some repeat orders. Why did they buy more ?
