# Addressograph Advertisement This page is **not a political cartoon but a business advertisement** for the Addressograph Company, headquartered in Chicago and New York. The ad promotes an automated card-index and addressing machine designed for businesses. The main image shows the Illinois model with stacked address cards and a hand inserting a plate. A circular inset depicts a woman operating the machine at a desk. The advertisement emphasizes the machine's efficiency: it can selectively print or skip addresses as desired, addressing multiple names without manual filing delays. The copy highlights time-saving benefits for businesses handling large mailing lists. A "free trial" coupon is included, and the bottom section lists cities where prompt service is available. This is straightforward early 20th-century business-to-business marketing.

This Card Index Addresses Itself — Prints or Skips Names as Desired 'HINK of this—a Card Index that ad- dresses itself! Every name, or ONLY certain names can be addressed as desired. How often you want to address only cer- tain’ people: whose names are mixed in:with other names in your files. Picking out these particular namea is slow and tedvous. Filing them back after using, wastes time. Maintaining eepa rate files is worse! Names are duplicated, causing confusion and mistakes in keeping list accurate. Cross indexing is expensive if your Addressograph has a “selector” at- tachment, one CENTRALIZED list is sufficient. Just insert tabs in address plates to designate various con- fitions governing addressing such as kind of goods ecx, rating, terntory, expiration date, or what not.
