Advertisement Transcript: In the year 2081, after 5 generations have used it, one of these calculators could still be working for your great-great grandchild... ... AND NOT ONE USER WOULD HAVE BOUGHT A BATTERY FOR IT! To hold a new Solaris Calculator in the palm of your hand is to get a feel of the future-and to glimpse what possibilities lie ahead for true solar power. First, consider how solar energy will change the size and weight of things. The new Solaris weighs 3 ounces (or less) and measures a couple of inches wide, under 4" high, yet gives you an incredibly wide range of calculator performance, including 4-key memory, square root and percentage keys- with lightning precision. And that's only for starters-because these break-thru new models bring you: TRUE SOLAR POWER AND NO BATTERY PROBLEMS They are powered by any light source- sun-light, house-light, fluorescent, even quiet, romantic candle-light! Their ex- clusive solar cells convert any and all available light into electronic energy. And they operate efficiently even in LLL (Low Light Levels). Figures all clear. Easy to read. Super-fast functioning. The second you are ready to use them, they are ready to use. No on/off switch. They're always on. And will be on-now or a hundred years from now. With no re- charging, no batteries to change, never loss of a moment's usefulness because you forgot to buy replacement batteries. Some day, of course, you may want to buy a new calculator. But, conceivably your Solaris can serve you efficiently and continuously for 1,000,000 hours. If you don't lose or abuse it, you could pass it on, as a family heirloom, to generations who may find it "quaint" in some even more advanced technological future. But who will also find their Solaris unerringly producing correct answers, then as now. TWO MODELS-SPECIFICS OF EACH The two models vary in some specifics. But either is yours for a surprisingly mod- est price of $29.95. (If you want to figure on a hundred-year useful life, that's less than 3¢ per year!) Here are your choices: #4061 Horizontal Credit Card Size (3 5/8" x 2 1/2" x 3/16"). Just about the size of a credit card and only slightly thicker. Has an easy-to-read 8 digit display; 4- Key Memory; Square Root and Percent- age keys; 24-Key keyboard. Brushed gold finish; Clear and Clear-Entry Keys. Comes with full instructions for all calculations and an attractive slip-in carrying case, with business card pocket. #4062 Vertical Wallet Size (21/2" x 4 1/4" x 3/16"). Same specs above, with two changes: Has a 25-Key keyboard and comes with a fold-over carrying case, with business card or credit card pockets. Also comes with full instruc- tions for all calculations. PUT THEM THROUGH THEIR PACES AT OUR RISK You may try either or both for two full weeks at our risk. Use them. Test them. Enjoy them.
