SttyEEISKffr rprni'M'Mlir r
Ball Bearingj Long Wearing
The success of the L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriters has |
been due to the fact that the wants of the user have 1
dictated its construction. The user has decided in favor •
of certain improvements now incorporated in f^odel 8. 1
Among them are:
Silence of Operation—The most silent running efficient
typewriter ever placed on the market. Absolute silence
has been very nearly attained.
Decimal Tabulator—A help in billing and tabulating.
There is no extra charge for this convenience.
Variable Line Spacer—Enables the operator to start on a
given line and space from point of starting; also to write
on ruled lines whose spacing varies from typewriter spac
ing. A great help in card work.
Faster Ribbon Feed—Insures new place of impact for each
5 typeface.
Choice of Carriage Return—Upon special order the new
left hand carriage return will be furnished in place of the
right hand return.
All the important features of previous models have been retained I
— ball bearing carriage, typebars and capital shift, back spacer, \
key-controlled ribbon, removable platen, protected type, flexible j
paper feed and automatic ribbon reverse.
Write for New Catalog of Model 8. It will explain why the
L C. Smith OC Bros. Typewriter is a synonym for superior service.
