﻿SOME FACTS 



ABOUT 



TYPEWRITERS 



Great progress has been made in building typewriters 

 in the last three years, greater advances than in all the 

 time previous. Years of experience have shown what 

 was valuable and desirable and what should be sacri- 

 ficed. Some typewriters do good work and are dur- 

 able, yet are hard to operate and are cumbersome; 

 others are too complicated and easily get out of order, 



do not keep alignment, etc. 



Operators who have used 

 THE FOX TYPEWRITER 

 are unanimous in agreeing 

 that it combines more desir- 

 able features than any writing 

 machine yet produced. It is 

 a basket type machine, with 



ball bearing carriage, two oz. 

 key tension » half-inch key dip, 

 aluminum finger lev-^ers with 

 individual tension, adjustable type-bars — insuring per- 

 fect alignment, even after years of service, line lock, 

 automatic line spacer, and automatic ribbon movement, 

 combining the features that give durability with tiie 

 lightest touch, easiest action, and most simple con- 

 struction. 



Our 1903 catalogue tells all about it, and will be sent 

 for the asking. Our free trial plan enables anyone, 



anywhere, to try "THE FOX'* for ten days.

The No. 4 

 Modern "^^Middle- Joint 

 Fountain Pen 



JMade and Guaranteed by 



Waterman 



Sold everywhere at $3 



A I TH FULLY adapted to the needs of 

 critical users, and superseding the old 

 style constxuction heretofore used jo lartely 

 by professional and business men at $4. 



It will soon be a far cry, baclc to the user of 

 the risky form of a fountain pen that brings 

 the fingers in contact with the ink joint. 

 — The $2 Middle-Joint (two sizes smaller) is 

 also a wonderful value, but the gre^f comfort 

 is in a big, strong pen; and it is mighty com- 

 forting, too, to own it a dollar less than the 

 price of a ** has-been-the-best *' pen.
