ST. LOUIS, MO., 1904 THE CANDY MADE BY THIS MACHINE IS ABSOLUTELY PURE. [Illustration] Granulated sugar is poured into the spinner and is instantly changed into flossy filaments of PURE candy without the touch of a contaminating finger. Our machines are NEVER SOLD but leased for a period of ten years, giving Lessee EXCLUSIVE control of the territory leased. At Los Angeles, Cal., our Lessee made and sold 850 ten cent packages of FAIRY FLOSS candy in one day from one machine. Four FAIRY FLOSS candy machines which were operated at the Mechanics’ Pavilion, Boston, Mass., for twenty days in October, 1904, earned in that time $1,750.00. Our Lessee in Minneapolis, Minn., sold in seven days from one stand running one machine, $205.00 worth of FAIRY FLOSS candy. Our Lessee in Nashville, Tenn., sold $60.00 worth of FAIRY FLOSS candy from one machine in one day. A pound of sugar will make sixteen packages of FAIRY FLOSS candy, such as was sold at the World’s Fair for ten cents each.
