TINY TYPEWRITER
T. P. Carey Entertains Club
at Y. M. C. A.; Luncheons
There in Future

T. p. Carey, the typewriter doc
tor" entertained the members of
the Harrisburg Rotary Club at the
meeting of that body last evening in
the Y. M. c. A. assembly room. 1t
was the first meeting of the club in
the association building and was
largely attended.
Mr.. Carey had on exhibition a
specimen of the tiny Corona baby
typewriter, which he demonstrated
for the instruction of members. This
little instrument has gone into the
wilds of Canada and the jungles of
Africa, missionaries have carried it
into the Businesses of the PhilippineS
and China. 1t has been the compan-
ion of the explorer, the hunter, the
travelling scientist and the salesman,
said Mr.. Carey, and is rapidly be-
coming valued piece of household
furniture.
ut is needless to point out the
advantages of the typewritten busI-
ness letter-every businessman ap-
preciates Them" said Mr.. Carey. but
there are many businessmen who,
because they do not have enough
correspondence to warrant the en-
ployment of stenographer, continue
to get along, as best they can, with
pen or pencil. The time has arrived
when these men may discard their
pens and send out nothing but busi-
nesslike, coronatyped letters. Travel
ing men were the first to appreciate
its advantages-so that to-day you
can hardly ride on train without
seeing one or more of the neat black
cases in which the instrument lives.
:In the offices of big business Cor
ona has proved its worth as an lex
ira for instant use whenever re-
quired; for the personal use of de-
partment heads, in tipping orders and
notes to other departments; for rhe
use of auditors, statesmen, investiga-
tors and officials, when on business
trips.
"At home, no one wants cum
bersome piece of office machinery
yet there are lots OF odds and ends
of writing to be done. Father can
bring a little work home from the
office, coronatype the notes for his
talk at the Rotary Club or the MSS.
Of his contribution to his trade paper.
The children will improve their
marks at school if their papers are
coronatyped and mothers letters will
be more legible-and just as eccep-
table, If she uses this interesting ma
chine"

night for the conference of Rotary

that date be the regular lunching
place of the club each Monday noon.
A dining room and kitchen are be-
ing fitted up on the second floor
rear.
The club heard reports of the SOL
diers' library fund and of the prog
ress of the Wharton school registra-
tion for the coming term in Har-
risburg..

the club, who has been called to Ball
timore as district passenger agent
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. said farewell to his fellow Ro-
tarians last night, who gave him a
vote of thanks for his services and
expressed regret over his departure.
