TIIE ONLY PRACTICAL ADDING MACHINE IN THE WORLD. 
This little machine has won more popularity in the brief 
period since its introduction tiian any other invention of 
the day. It gives instantaneous additions where numbers 
are called off, which makes it invaluable to the lumber deal¬ 
er, entry clerk, gauger, weigher, or measurer. It carries 
up the columns of a ledger account, two at a time, with 
mechanical accuracy. It has passed into very general use, 
and has the endorsement ofall who have seen or employed it. 
‘‘A wonderful triumph of inventive genius.”— Schuyler 
Colfax. 11 No accountant need fear that lie will be bit by 
buying it.”— Henry Ward Beecher. “So accurate and 
expeditious that I have had it introduced into the various 
city departments.”—A. Oakey Hall, Mayor of New York. 
“ I cheerfully certify to its correctness and rapidity.”—H. J. 
Storks, City Comptroller’s oflice. “ It relieves the mind en¬ 
tirely, and reduces arithmetic to a simple motion of the 
hand.”— S. C. Thompson, President of the First National 
Bank, No. 140 Broadway. “It discovered an error in my 
books of ten years’ standing, of $1,000.”—F. F. Thompson, 
President National Currency Bank, No. 2 Wall Street. “ By 
its use a column of figures of any length or size can be added 
up with an accuracy and ease seldom attained by the most 
rapid or most careful mathematician.”—O. II. Perky, with 
A. A. Low* Bros., 31 Burling Slip. “Of special value in 
lumber yards, as it can bo used as well in wet weather as 
dry, and never fails in its ‘tallies.’ ”—R. II. & L. Taylor, Jr., 
Pine and Hardwood Lumber Dealers, 63 Tenth Avenue. 
“ As a tallying machine it is invaluable in our business, tak¬ 
ing the place of an extra shipping clerk.”—C. W. Stearns 
& Co.. Cleveland. O. “Makes adding a pleasure, and is a 
great brain-saver.”— George William Winterbubn, Phoe¬ 
nix Fire Insurance Company, No. 173 Broadway. “From 
the first day of its introduction into this oflice it has so 
steadily grown in favor that not one of us would now dis¬ 
pense with its welcome assistance for any consideration 
whatever.” — H. C. Morgan, Assistant Secretary Nortli- 
America Life Insurance Company, 229 Broadway, New York.
