' " WRITER.
There Is not the least doTjbt but
that THE PITTSBURG VISIBLE
TYPEWRITER k the best low priced
machine on the market todav. It
is durable, attractive and light.
Its simplicity is marvelous. There
are no complicated parts to get out
of order. It is lite an open book.
If something clogs, you have only
to make a few turns with a screw
driver, remove the part causing
the trouble, clean it off, replace
and go ahead. It is the only ma
chine In the world on which the set
of tpye and type bars can be taken
apart from the machine in less than
ten seconds. This feature alone
Is worth many dollars as a time
saver. is the only machine now
on tha market with which twenty
legible typewritten copies can be
made at one writing. The ribbon
