The Caligraph is recognized everywhere as the most simple and most durable typewriter. It is easily learned, does beautiful work, and will last a decade, if properly cared for. In speed contests it has repeatedly taken first place and in telegraphic work has nevei been excelled. For manifold work it has no superior. With interchangable parts the Caligraph is well nigh indestructible. The expe rience of business men, ministers, telegraphers, short hand schools and government departments all go to prove that the Caligraph is without a peer.
