What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising**, not political satire. The dominant content is a Remington typewriter advertisement claiming it was "the first typewriter" and remains the industry standard, citing 1.6 million letters typed daily in New York City alone. The only satirical content is the poem "The Difference" on the right, by N.B. Ripley. It mocks a visiting preacher named Peter Parley Parker who spends his summer vacation playing golf—then boasts about how the sport is "hardening his arm." The poem's humor lies in the implied comeuppance: when hay-harvesting season arrives and Parker volunteers to help, the narrator expects Parker will discover that real farm labor is far more physically demanding than golf. The satire gently ridicules leisure activities and city folk's romanticization of strenuous exercise.

First in the field, the Remington organi- zation began building experience, step by step, from the actual practice of typewriter users—always a step or two in advance of the users’ need. Today the Remington typewriter stands unique as the greatest revolutionizer, the greatest energizer the commercial world has beneficiaries are all other makes of type- writers — for the Remington created the typewriter industry and blazed the way—for the others to follow. 1,600,000 Remington-writ- ten letters mailed in New York City alone every business day in the year.
