TYPEWRITER 
(BALL-BEARING, LONG-WEARING I 
The new Model Five includes every practical device and 
convenience the operator can require—all inbuilt as in¬ 
tegral parts of the machine itself. 
You will be delighted with its compact completeness. The 
ball-bearings throughout permit adjustments close enough 
(while still perfectly free-running) to eliminate all play 
and mechanical rattle. An increased volume of work, at 
least effort, is assured by the light, smooth touch and 
snappy action which does not tire the operator's Ungers. 
Even though “hard to suit” this newest model cannot 
fail to impress you. For the work you want of a type¬ 
writer it is without an equal. 
You should read our "Story of the Ball-Bearings,” which 
explains just why the L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter is 
the high-efficiency writing machine. Write for literature.
