A Wonderful Invention Doing Wonder.
full Work

We are pleased to announce to our citi-
Zeus, that a representative OF Lock, Y ost
Il Bates, proprietors of the latest great in
vention, the typewriter, will be at the
Rock Island House, in this city, on
Wednesday, April Goth, tomorrow.
Every one should go and see this wonder
full marvel of ingenuity.
AS the machine is undoubtedly of great
public interest, it may not be out of place
to call attention to it 10 somewhat special
manner. 1t was first introduced about
eighteen months ago, and, though some
what imperfect in its operation then, it soon
won great favor with the public, especially
with lawyers, reporters. editors and
authors, clergymen, and business men with
large correspondence and much copying to
do.
Some of the advantages claimed for the
machine are legibility, rapidity, ease, con-
venlence and economy. As every word
is printed in legible type, there can be no
question about its superiority In this re-
spect. Then, as good operator can write
from sixty to one hundred words per
minute on the machine, and as an expert
penmen cannot write more than from
twenty to thirty words per minute, it will
be seen at once that the typewriter, with
good operator, will do the work of three
good pepman Nor is the ease with which
this work is performed by any means the
least advantage. All know how irksome.
and even injurious to health, constant
labor with the pen is, while writing on the
typewriter is to many pleasant recrea-
ton. The machine is 50 simple in con-
struction, and so perfectly made, that it is
not liable to get out of order, and it is al
ways ready for use. La the simple mat
ter of economy. it is claimed that, for the
ordinary business of writing, FROM 500 to
600 per cent can be saved.
/ Mr.. Wallace, who represents this
valuable machine, is here for the purpose
establishing an agency tor the sale of the
machines, and to responsible party hs
viii give exclusive territory. 24dlt
