mond, Va:
Dear Silt gives me great pleasure to
add my testimonial as to the faithful and
satisfactory service the BAR-LOCk
TYPEWR1TERS have given this school
since thei- adoption two years ago l
knew nothing OF Your machine until this
college was opened because it was not
represented Il, the six Southern cities in
Georgia. Alabama. Florida, and Texas.
where we have six large colleges in opera
ton l have used all of the standard type
writer's. none OF which have given me
such satisfaction Or cost me as little
money for repairs as the Bar-Lock.
/ believe your machine possesses great
endurance, is perfect in its alignment, and
that it will remain so. It is SO simple
in construction, there is practically moth
ing about it TO get out OF order, and while
it sells for the same price as the other
standard writer's, it is sold under q more
LIBERAL guarantee than we have ever re-
ceiyed on any other machine. Tho stu
dents of this college prefer it to all other
writer's. and [ believe its visible writing
and automatic action enables them to
complete their typswriting course in much
less time than required on any OF the
other standard macllines. We are using
eighteen typeWrlters in our school, Twelve
of which are. Bar-Locks. Some Of them
have been In hard service for over two
years. none OF which have cost the college
a single dollar for repairs or one hours
delay in our work.
The liberality OF its manufacturers and
your practical business methods and
treatment to the public in general (especi-
ally the Business Colleges is such that
ought to commend your machine most
fdvorably to the public. I therefore recon-
mend your machine. especially to insti-
tutions of learning where typewriters are
used for educational purposes. There is
10 place where a writing machine is sub
iected to a greater trial and test than in
Business Colleges, for they are used by
beginners from morning till night. VIII
be pleased TO have the public call a our
college and examine the machines we
now have in use | do not believe there
is more capable or serviceable type
write. manufactured or sold in America.
Wishing you and the Bar-Lock the sue
cess you both 50 justly deserve, | am,
yours very truly,
J. c. FREEMAN,
Vice-President and Manager
