Why this manbought a

RemingtonJunior

Typewriter

"I have been investigating several of therecent makes of machines, seeking for one ofsimple construction for ordinary manuscriptand letter writing. I was nearly ready to buya machine of another make when I just hap-pened to see for the first time the RemingtonJunior, and found it to be the very thing I wanted;and that was a typewriter built simpler andnot incumbered with fixtures not needed forwriting ordinary manuscript or letters."
