With this extra large dial facing the flow of traffic it shows at a glance the time remaining to park ? more convenient for the motorist and twice as fast for the police to patrol. I This new type meter is claimed to be the most advanced parking meter yet placed 'on the market.* One of the big advantages is that it eliminates any possibility of the public being cheated on parking time or the city being cheated out of any revenue. History of Parking Meters The first parking meters to ap pear on the streets were com paratively simple, hand-operated types. However, before long the public learned they could manipu 1 late the meters. To overcome this defect some companies added ap paratus to notify the patrolman when the meter had not been operated properly. Other com panies, however, devised even more complicated mechanisms even requiring salaried men to wind up the apparatus. This new meter, known as the PERFECTION, sets a .high mark in simplified engineering achieve ment. All complicated apparatus hak been eliminated. The meter is easier Sot the uslt to operate, and its constant performance assures faster turnover of parking places. Beware the Curiosity-Minded If you do not wind your meter all the way you only cheat yourself out of just that much time. There can be no tampering with the time setting of this new meter. The coin automatically drops after .a few minutes so it is impossible to reset the time later. This feature is claimed to have turned the trend to simpler parking meters. Another exclusive feature of this meter is a patented system which promptly warns city officials if anyone attempts to steal money from the meters. This system is claimed to be positively fool-proof in its warning, which will enable immediate detection. This simple meter is compact, assuring less traffic obstruction and results in a better appearance on the streets. You benefit through new convenience, greater visibility, and lower upkeep costs. M.
