The complete story of Printyp
has never before been told. Here
Itis:
The Real Story of
PRINTYPE
The Idea from which "Prin
type" sprung resulted from the
success of our type experts in
equipping a typewriter used In
our offices to write "The Oliver
Typewriter" in our famous trade
mark type Just as the name ap
pears on the outside of the ma
, chine and in all Oliver pub
licity. ? '???<
The beautiful appearance and
the marvelous clearness of the
reproducttion of our "ebony"
trade-mark type, disclosed the?
possibilities of equipping The Ol
|ver Typewriter to write the
entire English language in shad
ed letters!
We worked "for years on the
plan and finally sJMftee<|0l in
producing, for excn^tye use on
The Oliver Typewriter, the won
derful shaded letters and numer
als known to the world as "Prin
type."
The Public'# Verdict
That the public is overwhelm
ingly in favor of Printype is im
pressively shown by this fact:
Alreudy over 75 per cent of
our entire output of Oliver Type
writers are "Printypes."
The public Is demanding Prin
type In preference to the old
*?yle type.
Within a year, at the present
rate, yo per cent of our total
sales will be "I^rlntypes."
Thus The Oliver Typewriter,
which first successfully introduc
ed visible writing, is again to
the fore with another revolution
ary Improvement ? Printype, th
type that prints print!
o Corporations:
The Oliver Typewriter is used
extensively by great concerns in
all_ sections of the world. Our
'lT-Cents-a-Day" Plan is de
signed to help that large class
of typewriter buyers who want
the same typewriter that serves
the groat corporations, but pre
fer the easy system of purchase.
The masses want The Oliver
Typewriter because it stands the
test of the largest corporations.

KEOKUK.
T he Sac tribe met In solemn coun
cil to choose a chief. At least they
thought they were gathered for that
j purpose. Ono man? Keokuk ("The
j Watchful One")? knew better. He
' ^U<JW that the chief was already prac
tlcally chosen and that he himself waa
booked for the high office. For years
I Keokue bad schemed and tolled and
I Intrigued In secret for the chief Lain -
| ahlp. He had many obstacles to over
' come. For instance, he did not belong
I to one of the tribe's ruling families,
from which chiefs were always taken,
j In fact, he was a "rank outsider/' the
i lust man that the Indian aristocrats of
the old school would be likely to
r choose to rule them. Yet by years of
sheer diplomacy he had outwitted
them all. And when the election was
over he waa declared chief.
A Blow and a Feud.
tip from the circle of leaders leaped
an Indian warrior? Blaok Hawk. Dis
gusted at the choice of his people, he
showed his contempt for the new chief
and for the election Itself by tearing
off his folded blanket and striking
Keokuk across the face with It. Keo
kuk bore the blow meekly. But at a
far later day he avenged it. Thus be
gan the lifelong feud between Keokuk
and Black Hawk.
Keokuk was born In the Sac and.
Fox territory In Illinois about 1780. Of
lowly parentage, in a "nation" where
ancestry counted for much, he never
theless set out early In life to rise to
the summit of power. His life motto
was that the men who knows when to
pretend to lose may often win. He
waa a fighter. Tales of his exploits'
on the battlefield ? both on the side of
the British In the war of .1812 and
WgalnBt rival Indian tribes? were told
.far and near. But mere warlike j
I courage could not avail to win him
l the promotion he wished. So he j
l turned to diplomacy. He was a wond*
j rous orator and quickly made a name
for himself in tribal councils,
| Keokuk was too wise not to see
the uselessness of opposing the white
men's westward progress. He fore
saw that the government would soon
be all-powerful in the west So he
not only pretended to m&ke friends
with the wh}te authorities, but man
aged always to use the seeming friend
ship to his own advantage. Where
( gallant. Impetuous Black Hawk broke
, himself to pieces in the vain effort to.
| thrust back the tide of civilization, Ke
okuk craftily swam with that tide to
I prosperity and safety. When the
; government bought for a mere pit
; tance the ancient hunting grounds and
j village of the Sacs and Foxes, Keokuk
urged his people to obey the white
i man's orders and move westward to
new lands.
[ Black Hawk" refused to move west
with the bulk of his "nation." He
called on the Sacs and Foxes to rally
to his standard and to attack the
white men. The council had practical
ly decided to do so, when Keokuk
arose and by a marvelously eloquent
speech persuaded the bulk of the "na
tion" to keep the peace. His pleas
are said . to have held back other
tribes from Joining the confederation.
Thus Black Hawk went to war against
the government with only a small part
of the force he would otherwise have
had. Keokuk was beginning to pay
for the blow Back Hawk had struck
him. And, as the war's terrible death
list showed, the debt was paid by
many an Innocent man ? both red and
white? -as w*ell as by Black Hawk him
self.
Black Hawk was totally routed by
the government troops late in 1832 and
was taken captive. While his enemy
was in prison Keokuk made his own
position so':Btrong with Indians and
Washington authorities alike that he
was appointed by the president as
head chief of all his "nation." He
'lived in royal state at a village on
j the site of the present city of Keokuk,
| la. Black Ha^rk returned from captiv
| ity In 1833, found himself deposed.
, supplanted and utterly subjugated by
the wily diplomat.
The Final Revenge.
The local Indian official, Major Oar
| land, at a banquet given In honor of
j Black Hawk's release, told the re
turned captive that the president de
sired him 'henceforth, to obey Keo
kuk's orders In all things. Black
Hawk, In fury at thlp crowning In
sult, declared he would obey no one.
Keokuk smiled blandly and said:
"Our brother is old. Let us forget
what he has just said!"
Maddened, helpless before the smil
ing diplomacy of his foe, Black Hawk
gave the Impression of being unworthy
the loving kindness of his great and
good friend, Keokuk. But members
of Black Hawk's former band under
stood the situation and sided with
their old chieftain. Between them and
Keokuk's, followers there was always
ill-feeling, and often bloodshed. Soon
afterward, Black Hawk, broken-heart
ed at his treatment, died.* Keokuk
had paid the "debt of the blow" In full.
He settled down on * forty-mile Iowa
River estate given htm by the gov
