A FEW ADVANTAGES. 



i.^No skill required. The 

 work being dime by. the 

 Machine automatically, a 

 novice can at once obtain per- 

 fect copies. 



2.. — Great luiiformity of 

 cv^pies. The pressure being 

 constant and regular, the 

 ct>pies are .'ill alike. 



_^.^The process of re-inking 

 is made much easier and

rtiOinuiend this J/achint 

 Societies and 

 opies of notices 



cleaner. Own inking suffices 

 tor 100 to ^00 copies, but 2,000 

 copies may be taken from one 

 stencil. 



4.— Equ.illy adapted for re- 

 producing written or type- 

 written matter. 



5. — Great speed in taking 

 copies. It is only necessary 

 to turn a handle which lifts 

 and lowers the frame, and time 

 is gained by having a less 

 number of re-inkings. 



6.— The difficulties which 

 frequently .-irise in the working 

 ot" oilier duplicating apparatus 

 eiuirelv dispensed with in the
