# Page Description This is a text page (page 40) from a pulp magazine containing the conclusion of an article about typewriters for writers, followed by promotional material and a teaser for next month's content. The upper section concludes advice about using Underwood typewriters, warning that portable models are impractical for serious writers. A boxed note advertises Jack Woodford's writing guide "Trial and Error" (1937), published by Carlyle House, available at bookstores for $3. Below this, centered text announces next month's "Sensational FACT Article": **"The Neighborhood Sex Headquarters is The Beer Tavern,"** described as "As Told by a Real Tavern Keeper Who Is Disgusted With His Job." The page is primarily text-based with decorative dividers between sections.

I had to learn the touch system; I did it in about a week, following the instruction book that the Underwood Typewriter Company will hand you free at any of their offices. An Underwood typewriter is no better, by the way, than any one of several others for an author. A portable type- writer of any kind is an abomination. After you learn how to go into produc- tion it will annoy you by hopping all over the table and you won't be able to get anything like what you paid for it on a trade in. Well, have I taken the fear of the sex- novel form a little out of your conscious- ness? If I haven’t, go learn to play an accordion or something; if I have, let’s get down to cases, in the next chapter. The foregoing article is reproduced by special arrangement with Carlyle House, Publishers, New York City, and is a re- production of a chapter in Jack Wood- ford’s radical text book—‘“Trial and Error” (copyright, 1937)—the book which tells all about EVERY type and kind of writing, and how to do it. The complete book, issued by Carlyle House, is obtain- able at all booksellers at $3. na‘ee Next Month’s Sensational FACT Article "The Neighborhood Sex Headquarters The Beer Tavern” As Told by a Real Tavern Keeper Who Is Disgusted With His Job ma:bP Comiclbook<s C@
