I changed typewriters last week, and am SO
pleased with the new machine that cannot
help writing about 1t. Any one who makes
copy" or has much correspondence to 90 Will
understand my pleasure when say that can
do about one-third more work in the same
time on the new machine than could on the
old one Il is stu Remington however the 1e
No. 2, which has done me such good service:
The new Remington is certainly wonderful
Improvement on anything in the way Of Of writ
provements all tend toward greater ease OF
operation, and simplicity as well as durability
the Objectionable variation in the alignment,
which is sometimes noticed when doing heavy
manifolding, is no longer observed. and this
improvement is al.o said to tend toward
greater permanence of the alignment of the
machine when doing ordinary writing-some-
thing which is easy to believe II one thinks
end of the cylinder are also a great convent
ence, and the ease with which the cylinder
can be turned backward or forward without
lifting any pawls or other gimcracks is great
advantage, as it enables one to run the paper
to and fro in the machine at will. There are
three line spacings instead of two, and the
greater width of the carriage permits longer
lines to be written, thus condensing the work.
The new method of hanging the shifting por-
tion of the carriage renders 1t possible to 40

the No. 2 carriage, and gives an appearance of
lightness and elegance to the new machine

always been enthusiastic about the Reming'

every other make on the market, l became
satisfied that it was constructed upon the
right principles and in the right manner, and
can always he relied upon to do what is
claimed for it. Now that the No. Q is on the
market l think it is economy for users OF
writing machines to substitute 1t for older
models.-Neso York World.
