It8217;s easy enough to come to the mistaken conclusion that most of the slot machines in use at the turn of the century were the big floor model color wheel machines as shown on the previous pages. But that8217;s wrong. There were always far more counter machines around than floor machines, mostly because there were many more locations that could handle them. Unless you are a counter machine aesthete that specialized in these early wooden case machines, or just got lucky and found one or two, you probably won8217;t see many of them that were made prior to 1900. But around that date the machines began to take off, ultimately leading to high production figures and the eventual replacement of the floor-model color machines. Later in that year, Charles Fey and Theodore Holtz, a co-worker, quit their jobs at California Electric Works, and formed a new company to compete with their former employer, manufacturing telephone, telegraph, and electrical equipment. The new business was coincidentally located on the same block as Shultze8217;s slot manufacturing company, and they may have even manufactured parts for Shultze8217;s machines.
