We Protect Our Customers \ By Using ed Toledo G Scales No Springs Honest Weight r » & The Significance of a Sign backed by Nature’s Unchanging Law N ENGLAND one day, the story goes, a falling apple led young Isaac Newton to the discovery of the Law of Gravity. Two hundred and thirty-three years later other scientists developed the Toledo Pendulum Principle, and by building the ‘ first successful pendulum com- puting seale'’ applied Newton’s law to automatic welghing. Newton's discovery spread knowledge of a great truth—the Toledo invention spread the practical, di- 4 rect application of that truth to the weighing of the world’s commodities. Instead of measuring gravity with springs, which vary with changes of temperature and alter with use, the Toledo Pendulum Principle relies solely upon a ; . Nature’s unchanging law—Toledo Scales—No Springs— i : J Honest Weight, measure gravity with gravity itself. 5, A The great truth which Newton discovered has been a > common knowledge for many generations. Now al- most everyone knows equally well that weight—the pull of gravity—cannot he measured accurately by the ever changing pull of springs, but only by the ever constant, unchanging pull of gravity itself. Because Toledo has come to stand in the public mind for constant accuracy in weighing, thousands of grocers and butchers display the sign illustrated above, ‘‘ We Protect Our Customers by Using Toledo Seales—No Springs—Honest Weight.”’ There are more than ono hundred stylea and sizes of Toledo Beales, to weigh everything from au ounce of aplewts thirty tone of steel—senles for stores, offices, ehipplng rooms, warehouses, mills and factories, Toledo Scale Company, Toledo, O.
