A MACHINE
WITH LOTS
OF BRAINS
DOES ITS OWN THINKING, is HON.
EST, NCORRUPTIBLE AND IN.
FALLIBLE - DOES A MANS
WORK BETTER THAN THE MAN
CAN DO 1T.

The Billeau Cashier, an automatic
coin-paying machine. the patents for
which are owned by the United States
Cashier company, which, by the way,
is an Oregon company with head
quarters and factory in Portland, is
about the most ingenious piece of
mechanism ever invented for the pur-
pose of not only doing a mans work
for him, but also for doing his think
ing. 1t is not a complicated affair;
in fact is a small, compact, demure
looking little piece of nickle-plated
machinery, not much larger than a
cash register. In spite Of it's unob-
trusiveness, 1t is IS full of brains as
a harmless looking country boy at a
spelling match, and like that young
ster, can do some surprising stunts.
Not only does it do stunts of its
own but is incorruptible. honest and
infallible. 1t is said George Wash
ington couldn't tell a lie, not even
when 1t was pointed out to him, and
this little nickle-plated think-tank
cannot make mistake If it tries.
1t pays out coin in any amount up
to 800, and in any kind of change
you want. OF course the monv has
to be put in it, for 1t is not money
maker in the way of mint, though
1t promises to be a mint to its own
ers There is column for each kind
of money, and as long as there is
money in them the machine will pay
and pay correctly.
To Journal reporter yesterday,
Mr.. Frank Skidmore, SUPERINTENDENT
the fiscal department who is repre-
senting the company here, said:
How much money will you have?"
For heavens sake, have it give me
a twenty; if 1t can do that, it can do
anything" was the reply
A button was pressed and the 500
(at least the reporter Judged that is
what 1t was) dropped. Maybe you
would like it in change said the
smiling operator, and before the re-
porter could get his fingers on the
coin, 1t was slipped back into the ma
chine, another button, Just one but
ton, mind you, was pressed and that
little dinky machine rat
tied down lot of coin which proved
to be ten, a five, four ones, a half.
a quarter, two dimes and nickle.
At the same time a little slip popped
up with the amount paid out printed
upon it, Then this machine does 9th
er stunts. Matters of addition are as
easy as chewing gum, and little
things in arithmetic are easy.
In paying check, for instance, the
check is placed in slip, the proper
two or three buttons pressed, and the
the check calls for is
dropped down into the receiver. At
The same time the amount of pay
ment is registered, printed slip
shows the amount the machine has
paid and besides, it prints on the back
Of the check the amount 1t has paid !
On it, It is useless to try to describe /
T. for 1t does as many astonishing |
.hings as school girl, and apparent
" with as little thought, 1t is the
landtest thing to she'll out coin ever |
invented, unless 1t is a millionaire
husband with an actress for new
wife, or tariff baron with daugh-
.er he wants to marry to title.
MFR. Skidmore will take pleasure in
showing it to you, and II you are in
BUSINESS, you will find that here is
machine you can't get along without,
or it is the best, cheapest. handiest,
most perfect and absolutely incor-
uptible cashier anyone ever en-
'loyed.
