NP10 Complete Visible Writing This is the great distinctive feature of the, Model 10 Smith Premier Typewriter Complete Visible Writing means not only that the writing itself is visible, but that the operating | machinery which produces the writing is also vis- ible. Above all, it means that the keyboard is completely visible. Why? Because it is the only typewriter having a key for every character—hence the char- | acter printed by each key is always the same. This distinctive feature has won for the Smith Premier Typewriter an immense army cf loyal | users, Smith Premier Department Remington Typewriter Company (Incorporated) New York and Everywhere Delay No Longer Call, write, telephone or telegraph to nearest dealer fora Christmas barrel containing 10 dozen bottles of vans’ Al gad distribute in tots to sult to friend the sai ing the Christm: + Ideal C.M.

How-d’-y’-do and Good-bye One day Good-bye met How-d'-y'-do Too close to shun saluting ; But soon the rival sisters flew From kissing to disputing. “ Away!" says How-d'-y'-do, * Appals my cheerful nature; No name so sad as your's is seen In sorrow’s nomenclature. Whene'er I give one sunshine hour Your cloud comes o'er to shade it; Whene'er I plant one bosom flower, Your mildew drops to fade it How-d’-y'-do has tuned cach tongue To hope’s delightful measure, Good-bye in friendship’s ear has rung The knell of parting pleasure. From sorrows past my chemic skill Draws smiles of consolation, While you from present joys distill The tears of separation.” Good-bye replied, “Your statement’s 1 your cause you've plea But pray who'd think of How-d Unless Good-bye preceded? Without my prior influence Could your’s have ever flourish'd? And can your hand one hour dispense But those my tears have nourish’d? How oft, if at the court of Love Concealment be the fashion, When How-d'-y'-do has failed to move, Good-bye reveals the passion! How oft, wlien Cupid’s fires decline, As every heart remembers, One sigh of mine, and only mine, Revives the dying embers! Go bid the timid lover choose; And I'll resign my charter, If he for ten kind How-d'-y'-does One kind Good-bye would barter. From love and friendships kindred source We both derive existence, And they would both lose all their force Without our joint assistance. ‘Tis well the world our merit knows; Some time, there's no denying.
