invent . successful writing machine
would not only secure . fortune, but
would confer . blessing on mankind.
That that Journal spoke truer words
than Il may have realized cannot be
doubted when we bear in mind that
one mandatory alone last year sold
81, 600 machines. And how many know
even the name of the inventor of this
wonderful machine? It is G. Latham
Sholes. He died 1t his home in Mil
waulkee about three years ago.
The story of the typcwriter's origin
n remarkable and interesting. Al
though for years in poor health, Mr..
Sholes was man Of great energy. His
inventive genius possessed him at all
times, and his mind was busy with me-
chanical problems day and night. He
had been . printer and an editor, but
1t the time the typewriter was in
vented was collector Of the port of
Milwaukee, having been some years
earlier editor of the Milwaukee SEN
tinel. He contrived several labor saw
ing devices for use in the publishing
business, principal among which was
mailing machine. which was quite
generally used until improvements
upon IL were put on tho market Tho
invention that foreshsdowed the type
writer WAS that Of paging machine
to be used by bookinders and others.
Mr.. Sholes was 1t work upon this
when he was collector, and . Mr..
Samuel Soule. an old acquaintance
and also . printer. was interested with
him in IL They were trying to pro-
duce Q machine that would print the
serial numbers Of pages upon the
leaves Of blank books already bound
and also upon bank notes. They had
