This radical departure from the old style "outline” letters makes it jiossible to produce on The Oliver Typewriter, a page o f manuscript as clear and attractive as that of the finest book. Th e Oliver is the first and only typewriter that successfully prints print! THE PRIMARY REASON Printype resulted from our discovery that “outline type, with its sameness, due to absence of shading, was harmful to the eyes. THE SILENT TEST For months, without any advertising, we put him- . drcds of Printype Oliver Typewriters into actual service, in many diverse lines of business. We wanted the public’s verdict. It came in a burst of i admiration and a flood of orders that proved Prin- : type a brilliant success. Printype letters, wherever seen, excited the • keenest interest. Businss men who received th»ir I first Printype letter almost invariably answered, post haste, “Where did you get that type?” Thus Printype captured the country without firing a single shot. PRICE NOT ADVANCED The Printype Oliver Typewriter sells for SIOO. You can pay at the rate of 17 cents a day The • "Printype” is our latest and best model. The new i type adds 25 per cent to the value, but not one cent to the price. A small cash payment brings the machine. •
