The beauty Of The Oliver Type.
writer l7-Cents. a. Day Plan is that
it works out satisfactorily for
everybody concerned.
This plan ties up a very large
sum OF the company's money in
typewriters sold on time.
But we have an abundance of
capital. We are glad TO use our
resources to bring this great bust
ness aid within easy reach of all
who have use for typewriterS.
Thousands tell US that they
bought their Oliver Typewriters
without noticing the outlay,
Here's the way the plan works:
You make small first payment
and get the machine at once.
Then save II Cents a Day and
pay monthly, exactly the same as
rent.
When you complete the pay
ments, the typewriter is yours
forever. And you pay only the
list price.
