No. 27-The Perfected Type-Writer. 
Price Largely Reduced. —One Bits before a key-board, 
each key having a letter of the alphabet, or figure, or 
punctuation mark, and by simply touching the desired 
letters with the finger, the writing is done in regular 
plain printing, clear and distinct, and with great rapidity 
—on two or more sheets, if copies are desired for pres¬ 
ervation. The paper moves along automatically with 
every letter touched. It is useful for all kinds of writing, 
letters, etc., etc. Every one should send to E. Remington 
& Sons, 281 Broadway, N. Y., for a full description. We 
offer the No. 1 Type-Writer, price $80, complete, on 
table, etc., to any one sending us 80 subscriptions to the 
American Agnculturist, at $1.50 each, or we will supply 
one at the price named. Freight to be paid by recipient.

This instrument offers a far more promising means of 
obtaining a livelihood by a lady, than a Piano, or any 
other implement. Most of the letters of this office are 
now written on this machine. An experienced writer 
will print off a letter about as fast as it can be dictated 
to him, and its rapid use is learned in a hnndreth part 
of the time required to play the piano passably well. 
Many “Young Ladies ought to secure this premium 
for use, by raising a club of 80 subscribers, which 
will not be difficult. Some ladies have each secured 
that many subscribers for us in a very few days.

of this 
than any other 
of twice 
its cost, ile oh-* 
tained one in 
London just 
thirteen years

it farmore 
than pays the 
interest on 
$100, (2 cents a

from its ordi¬ 
nary use as a 
double - bladed 
knife, some 
one of its 
“tools” is often worth a “quarter,” by being on 
hand and just the thing wanted in an emergency. He 
sent an order to England at three different times, 
but only received much larger, clumsier articles, less 
effective, and costing $5 
each, and finally learned 
that tlie original maker 
was dead. He then got 
some. English cutlers 
here to make them, but 
they did not always suc¬ 
ceed in keeping up a supply of first-class articles. We 
now get them all right of the Meriden Cutlery 
Company, and much cheaper than any imported.
