500 TIMES ...
Mrs. Jov TqvW, spc|v*ary to
County Judge Mis. Lan lie Mar-}
bin, now is using a new typewriter}
which has to bese en in operation j
to believed.
The new electric typewriter . re-
presents t h e greatest single
change in typewriters since the.
first typewriter was built. The
carriage which holds the pape •*
does not move and there are no
type arms jumping up and down
to make' impressions on the paper, :
Instead of the carriage moving!
their is a cone shipped metal gad-!
get about the size of an egg which j
moves back and forth making typ° j
impressions on the paper as the:
typewriter keys are struck.
If the operator of the type- j
writer wants to change type faces j
all that has to he done is to lift |
out the metal object and put on
another. If the type needs clean-
ing all that has to be done is to
lift the metal gadget out and
wash it.
Science is wonderful.
Thanks, but no thanks »a«
Simon Ferguson's, Stephenville
railroad man, reply to the Post
Office Department when he was
informed he had 500 Reader’s
Digest copies addressed to him
at the local post office.
Ferguson did*take his regular
copy and the other 499 will go
bark to Reader's Digest's main
office.
The addresses which are plac-
ed on the magazine copies are
attached by an automatic mail-
ing process, the local postal em-
ployees surmised it must have
stuck on Ferguson's name, 900
times that is.
This electronic age of ore-
rhanirai gadgets is wonderful,
well most of the time any way.
