A Wonderful Stamp Machine.

to nearby store only to have to
waste a quarters worth of valuable
time waiting for the clerk to finish
with a customer or to be told he
couldn't spare the change? You
won't have to do it any more when
the Brinkerotf stamp vending ma
chine is put on the market. 1t will
sell you any amount of stamps you
want, make change for you, detect
the spurious coin some one is try
ing to work off on you. and it only
asks one penny for its services.
The Fort Collins Courier gives the
following description of this re-
markab!e machine:
Here's new one that will make
Edison sit up and take notice-a
machine that sells stamps. delivers
any quantity called for, makes
change, refuses to take foreign
coins, calls the police if you feed it
counterfeit and takes in anything
from a penny to dollar through
the same slots.
This wonderful mechanical de-
vice with human attributes is on
exhibition at the Northern hotel
for day or two. 1t is known as
the Brinkerotf Postage Stamp
Vender and Money Changer. The
inventor, F. H. Brinkeroff of Sc
dalia. Mo, is with the machine, as
are also DR. A b. Levi OF Denver,
who is Interested in the company,
and demonstrator. who explains
the workings of the machine to the
curious.
"In buying stamps all that is
necessary is to drop coin of any
denomination i'll the slot, push a
button as many times as the num-
Der of stamps you want You'll
get the stamps and all the change
due you, minus one cent profit,
which the machine retains on every
transaction If you simply want
change for dollar, half dollar
quarter, dime or nickel, you drop
the coin in the slots, push the but
ton marked change" and get what
is due you, minus the pen
ny.
The most interesting feature of
the machine is its detection of
counterfeit or foreign coins. A
Canadian quarter goes through
without stopping and makes no
particular noise. 1t merely comes
through to you. But try IA lead
dollar or "A spurious quarter and it
not only comes out again, but rings
an alarm bell that notifies the pro-
prietor of the establishment where
the machine is located that you are
trying to cheat the machine. The
mechanism of the device is so finely
adjusted that every coin is weigl. d
and measured in its descent
through various channels. If short
in weight or lacking either in size
of contour, even to the minutest
degree, it rings the alarm bell as it
passes out into the cup.
Secret service agents of the
government in Denver declare that
it was more accurate in its detection
of fine counterfeits than the expen-
sive apparatus furnished by the
government. Brass slugs made to
beat any slot machine on the mar
ket cannot pass this machine. Like
the counterfeit coin, they ring for
the police rs they come back to the
person who deposited them.
"The machine also keeps tab on
its own resources, notifies the man
in charge when the supply of
change is running low. gives notice
two days in advance when a new
roll of stamps is needed and keeps
ii meter record of all receipts The
stamps are especially printed by
the government in rolls like roll
of tape for market ticker, and the
