Some History 



about Typewriters 



Modern and Ancient 



CHAPTER s 



A Typewriter is not worth much without an 

 efficient Operator. 



IT is a conservative estimate that 90% of typists in 

 this country are trained on the Underwood. 



A ND the machine an operator learns is the machine 

 she is going to have. The day is past when 

 a typist can use several makes of machines equally 

 well. Scientific operation made it impracticable. 



IT is a matter of considerable difficulty to get a competent oper- 

 ator for any typewriter except an Underwood. 



'T'hrough our Employment Service we insure Underwood users 

 against any difficulty of this kind.
