Show SCHAUB MACHINE CO. MAY ENLARGE PLANT TO, MAKE DISCOUNTERS Since last September the Schaub Machine Co. has been at work on the cash register attachment Invented by W. F. Normandy and now being exploited ex-ploited by the National Discounter Co. The work involved, and the prospect pros-pect of the Discounter Co Is such that the Schaub Co. Is seriously considering consider-ing the advisability of enlarging in such a way that at least thirty men can be employed. The attachment appears to be a seller from away back and with its present capacity the local machine company can hardly turn them out fast enough. Speaking of the attachment, It irf really. a beauty, and as an ornament to any cash register Is well-nigh worth the price 160. It Is built of aluminum, alumi-num, is made specifically as a finish to the National register, and the face Is Id dial form with revolving pointer operated automatically, dry batteries and a tiny motor serving as power. The invention Is designed as a check on the operator of the cash register and as an advertising scheme as well. The check comes In the fact that each customer gets a premium cash or merchandise when the revolving pointer stops at the same figure as his cash purchase, thus causing every customer to see that his proper purchase pur-chase Is rung up, the pointer revolving only as the cash drawer is pushed back Thero arc many excellent ways of manipulating the attachment to the advantage of the owner, and the ovi-denco ovi-denco thus far Is that there is some good money In it for the promoters, who have already spent about $3000 in getting everything in shape. Schaub has made all the special tools necessary to produce the attachment attach-ment and, at tho present time can turn out eight a day. A face design Just finished by Mr. Schaub is one of the nicest things of the kind ever seen by the writer 'and by others with greater knowledge of these things. Mr. Normandy is quite confident as to the future success of tho com pany. Mr. F. E. Plowman will go to the northern Pacific slope soon as a representative of the company. |
