T hese little pocket scales 
weigh from one ounce to eight pounds. Each 
and every one is warranied accurate, or money 
refunded. Everybody needs one, as they ean ho 
easily carried in the vest pocket, and they take 
up no more room than a small pocket knife. 
They are elegantly nickel plated and nicely 
finished, and will last a lifetime with ordinary 
care. 
The Commercial Advertiser of Detroit, Mich., 
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 
bill 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 he carried in the pocket, and are sure to 
become as indispensable nn article us a pocket 
knife. Hereafter we do not expect our wives 
will be grumbling about the butelier cheating ns 
In weight, for we intend having a pair of these 
scales in our pocket at all times.” 
Every business man, mechanic, or farmer, 
every employer, and every eraployfe, male or fe¬ 
male, needs THE LITTLE GIANT SCALES, as 
they can be depended on at all times for accuracy 
in weighing. T am the Sole Manufacturer of 
these Seales 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 
ndflnfch, and accuracy inWeighing. 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. It is the big. 
gest bargain in America, and is very low at 50 ets. 
each, and we guarantee satisfaction or money 
xefunded. 
AGENTS WANTED EVERY WHERE! 
to introduce these Seales in all sections of the 
country; and you will find them the very fastest 
elling article on the market. Order a few 
dozen, and give the business a trial. Some of 
our ngents sell a gross a week right along, which 
is good euough wages for anyone. All we ask 
is to give them a trial. We offer yon no clap¬ 
trap, trash}’obrnmos, or receipts, but something 
that is good and useful for everybody, and will 
stand on its own merits. Our discounts to agents 
are very large, which will enable you to double 
your money. 
The attention of Novelty Dealers and experts 
is called to these scales. Correspondence so¬ 
licited. 
Agents should send in their orders at once, and 
get the start. Don't delay, hut order at once 
These scales will sell to nearly every family. 
Hunters, trappers and sportsmen will buy them, 
at sight, as they are no “catch-penny" affair 
and are original and unique in design and con¬ 
struction. By making these scales a specialty, 
getting them up in largo quantities, under our 
own personal supervision, and only using first- 
class material, we are able to sell this article at a 
lower price than the same could he produced by 
most manufacturers. These Scales are finished in 
heavy nickle plate, and thoroughly tested be¬ 
fore being sent out, and satisfaction is guaran¬ 
teed in every particular.
