So people have welcomed our new econom- ical plan and our output has multiplied. We offer for $64 the exact machine which formerly sold at $100. This is our Model Nine, the finest type- writer we ever built. It has the universal keyboard, so any stenographer may turn to it without the slightest hesitation and do better work more easily. And it has dozens of superiorities not found else- where. For instance, it has far fewer parts. This means longer wear, and naturally few or no repairs. This Oliver Nine is a 20-year development. If any typewriter is worth $100, it is this splendid model. It is the same machine used by great concerns such as United States Steel Corporation, National City Bank of New York, National Cloak & Suit Co., Otis Elevator Company and hosts of others. Such concerns demand the best. Yet they are not wasteful. FREE TRIAL Merely clip the coupon below, asking us to send a free trial Oliver.
