DURABILITY

Other things being equal, durability
follows as the result of simplicity.
There is not a small, frail bearing in
the machine. There are no fine joints
to be affected by wear. The best ma.

construction, are added to the simplici'
ty OF this machine, thus making its
durability a foregone conclusion.
