to 60 minutes an hour 

 by taking the "grind" 

 out of typewriting ! 



AND smile ! For here at last is the master 

 machine that makes it easy for any stenog- 

 rapher to turn out MORE letters with LESS 

 effort in the ordinary working day. The new 

 Royal Master -Model "10" speeds up the day's 

 work and sets the pace that pays ! 



"Just turn the knob" and get the "personal touch" 

 that fits YOURSELF ! Write with the fast, Royal roller- 

 trip escapement — the heart of the typewriter runs without effort. 



Built for "Big Business" and its 

 Great Army of Expert Operators 



These new features of the Royal add to the sensitive 

 fingers of the typist, the one vital thing that the old-style 

 typewriter subtracts — speed ! 



The speed with brains behind it — the all-day speed of 

 the expert typist in the day's work. Errorless speed 

 is the kind of speed that counts. Commonsense has 

 punctured the illusion of the other kind.
