ARGOSY-ALLSTORY—ADVERTISING SECTION. STANDARD PRICE FOR OVER 100 or $55 on Monthly Installments Buy Direct From the Factory and Save $5032 This, you will agree, is the most liberal typewriter offer ever made. And it is made by one of the foremost manu- facturers. A standard $100 typewriter for only $49.50! That is the amazing price appeal. Direct from the factory to you for free trial—that is the simpli- fled plan of selling. This is a daring offer. Only the finest typewriter could be sold this way. We let the Oliver sell itself. You are the sole judge. Keep it or return it. Free Trial The coupon brings it for free trial. Try it for five days. Compare it. Then, if you agree that it is the finest typewriter, regardless of price, and if you want to buy it, send us $49.50 cash. If you want to pay on installments, send $3 after trial, then $4 . per month until $55 is paid. If you want to return it, ship it back at our expense. We even refund the outgoing transportation charges, so you do not risk a penny in the test. You save all the selling cost. That accounts for the half price. You deal direct with the manufacturer. The Oliver would still be priced at $100 if it were sold in the usual manner. But we found that it was unnecessary to have a large force of expensive sales- men and costly branch houses in over 50 cities. We subtract the selling ex- pense from the $100 price, and you keep what it would other- wise cost us to sell you an Oliver. Yet you get the identical $100 Oliver, the finest ever built— speedy, durable, easy to operate and a producer of extra fine work. Easy Terms chine which for years has been a leader. Over 900,000 have been sold. Thousands are buying this new and easy way and saving the unnecessary selling costs.
