Of The
Men

who do their
own. typewriting
use the Oliver
typewriter. The
principal reason
for this 10 the fact
that the Diver will
last for years and
do good work,
without the slight
est care and atten-
tion, which is not
true of any other
typewriter. One
man in Durant is
still using an old
Model One Oliver
which has seen at
the very least fif-
teen years service
and it is doing
good work.
Il have secured
several Of the lat
est model divers,
at a price which
enables me to sell
them at almost
half the regular
retail selling price.
Anyone interested
in a new Oliver
will do well to in
vestigate the deal
| am offering
while the present
stock lasts, as a
repitition of thiS
deal is unlikely.
