The. Commercial ’.Advertiser of Detroit, Mich., 
Bays:— 
“Of the thousands of new inventions which 
make their appearance yearly, but few are of 
practical use, but when we see one that fills the 
hill for the purpose for which It is intended, we 
are forced to acknowledge Its merits. Such is 
the ease with THOMPSON'S LITTLE GIANT 
POCKET SCALES. They weigh accurately, and 
can be carried in the pocket, and are sure to 
become as indispensable an article as a pocket 
knife. Hereafter we do not expect our wives 
will be grumbling about the butcher cheat ing us 
in weight, for wo intend having a pair of these 
Scales in our pocket at all times,” 
Every business man, mechanic, or farmer, 
every employer, and every employ^, male or fe¬ 
male, needs THE LITTLE GIANT SCALES, its 
they can be depended on at all times for aoouracy 
in weighing. I am the Sole Manufacturer of 
these Scales and own all the tools and special 
mchinery for making them. Only skilled la¬ 
bor is used in their construction ; hence I am 
able to make them perfectly. The pattern is 
the most beautiful one made. They possess two 
great advantages ; beauty and elegance of design 
andfinish, and accuracy inhveighing'. No!dealer in 
the world can give you a Scale equal to this for 
less than $5,00. Every Scale we send out is in 
perfect order, and is warranted for twenty 
years, with good usage and care. Tt is the big. 
gest bargain in America, and is very low at 50 ots. 
each, and we guarantee satisfaction or money 
refunded.
