This is the testimony of every typewriter user who knows
by experience the relative performance of writing machines.
The man of all men who swears by the Remington is the
man who has tried to get the same service out cf some other
machine. ,
A man may know the Remington or he may know some
other typewriter, but the man who really knows typewriters is
the man who knows the difference between the Remington
and others.
