Two
ways
of
getting
along
Pf^hich winsf
Now and then, we hear people say that^
they can get along without a typewriter.
Yes, we believe that. Only forty years
ago everybody got along without one.
So they did, a little further hack, without the stcain
engine and the railroad train. They got along
without them because there were none.
Anyone today who thinks he can get along with
out the typewriter because he can do his writing
w ith the pen, is like the man who thinks he doesn’t
need the railroad because he can walk. In your
method of writing you may be “walking” today.
If so, then remember that the railroad is built aftd —
Your Train has arrived
It is the New
Remington JUNIOR
Typewriter
We have built the Remington Junior on purpose
for those who have writing to do and need
a typewriter but who haven’t bought one—-yet.
We have built it for
the traveler and for
the home; for the
doctor, the clergy
man, the farmer, the
retail storekeeper—
for everyone who
needs a type w’riter for
the simpler uses, like manuscript and letter writing.
The price of the Remington Junior is Jifty dollars,
cash with order. It is just what its name implies,
a “boiled down” Remington; smaller, lighter,
simpler and more portable, but a true Remington
in the work it does and the way it does it, and
sold under the iron-clad Remington guarantee.
Here is your chance, absolutely your first chance, to buy
an absolutely first-grade typewriter at a medium price.
For $55.00, we will sell you a Remington Junior cn terms
of $5.00down and $5.00 a month. Cut out the attached
coupon and send it to us with $5.00 in cash, check
or money order, and we will send the machine.
