Mr.. w. c. Murray, of the Asso-

prize in the Phillips Code Class
This gentleman has been using the
Remington Standard machine, but
just before the Code Class Contest was
pulled off he asked permission to Use
the Fay-Sholes, for reasons best
known to himself. He made the
statement to some of his fellow oper-
ators that he did not believe that
his performance would be creditable;
nevertheless he was awarded second
place, and his work on the Fay
ShOles under these circumstances is
certainly remarkable. This gentle
man is SO enthusiastic over our No.
6 machine that he will use one in his
regular work hereafter.
''In winning all of the events the
Fay-Sholes made a clean sweep, as
there was but one other prize award
ed to an outsider, namely: A silver
medal for second place in the re
ceiving' message class. MIR. f. E.
Bruckner, of the Postal Telegraph
Company, Dallas. Texas, received the
silver medal; and while he used a
Remington Standard machine in the
contest, the achievement of the other
men upon the Fay-Sholes has SO
thoroughly convinced him of the
merits OF our new models that he has
already arranged to use a No. 6 Fay.
