THE USUAL CONTRACTS. :: :: Apr 25 Typewriters Given Away The Emerson Typewriter company of Woodstock, 111., have recently given away over 400 of the highest grade, wholly visible Emerson Type­ writers made in the world. They have gone into every state and terri­ tory in the United States. There may be some in your town. They are giv­ ing them away everywhere to men, women, boys and girls, over 18 years of age, on surprisingly liberal condi­ tions. If you could make any use of a $100.00 typewriter, providing it did not cost you even one cent, then in a letter or on a postal card addressed to Frank L. Wilder, President, Woodstock, 111., simply say, "Mail me all your Free Offers," and by return mail you will receive their Free Of­ fers, the names of over 400 who have recently received typewriters free, and you will learn on what easy condi­ tions you can get one of their type­ writers free right away. The Emerson Typewriter is one of the highest grade, wholly visible typewriters made in the world. Many who have used the "EMERSON" and other makes pronounce the "EMER- SOfJ" superior to any $100.00 type­ writer on the market. It is a wholly visible machine, has every new, up- to-date feature, looks like other high grade $100.00 typewriters, though it sells regularly 1 for less and on terms of $1.00 down and 10 cents a day un­ til paid for. The "EMERSON" has every new improvement, universal keyboard, back spacer, tabulator, two- color ribbon, everything the best; is the ideal machine for beginners as well as .for the most expert typists and stenographers; just the type­ writer for the smallest or largest office. If you could possibly make any use of a high graide typewriter, even though it didn't cost you one cent of money, then be sure, on a postal card or in a letter addressed to Frank L. Wilder, President,' Woodstock, 111., iay, "Mail me your Free Offers." Electric Light (r mm loaves -AND- Delicious Pastries Is the inevitable result if you use White Swan ...Flour...
