Add a Brand New Fixture
to Their Store.
That Jackson merchants are not
only quick to take advantage of
new and approved methods of do
ing business, but are bound to war
rant the confidence of their custom
ers to the fullest extent, is shown
by the recent purchase of Messrs.
Carmicliael-Mallet Company.
They have just received the most
modern weighing machine, which
almost thinks for itself. It not only
weighs, but computes the cost,
showing the exact amount of the
purchase in dollars and cents with
out any hand or mental operation
whatever. You just place the com
modity on the platform and the
scale does the rest.
Customers always like to see just
what they are getting, and on this
scale the amount is plainly indi
cated on the customers’ side of the
device. *
The subject of scales has occu
pied a great deal of the time and
attention of city officials and city
sellers in all parts of the country.
Many scales have been found un
reliable and condemned. The
spring scales especially have been
found to be inaccurate, for, as we
all know, a spring will not “spring”
the same after it has been used for
some time. Springs are also affect
ed by heat and cold, and scales
that contain springs cannot be re
lied upon.
This scale is spriugless and can
not wear or change. It has been
found to be absolutely accurate
and is recommended by officials
everywhere.
This fixture will make a hand
some furnishing for Messrs. Car
michael-Mallet Company’s store,
and they are to be commended for
their enterprise and for the open,
above-board weighing which allows
their customers to “see the wheels
go around” for themselves.
