The writing being visible to the one dictating, he can always supply the next sentence at the right moment thus enabling the op- erator to accomplish a greater amount of work. The word-spacing is accomplished when the final letter of each word is printed, effecting a saving of twenty per cent. of time. The line spacing is automatic. An automatic line lock prevents the accumulation of characters at the end of a lineg a release key, however, allows the printing of four additionalcharacters when desired. Only one size of machineis required as along carriage can be in- serted for special work. The type is always in view, accesible for cleaning, and waste Gber caused by eraser does not clog the type or fall on the ribbon. A pointer indicates the exact location of the character to be printed and the writing may be removed temporarily, without disturbing the page for doing other work. lt will write paper an inch wide and do perfect writing at the very bottom ofthe sheet, but the approach- ing end of the page is always visible, preventing the liability of writing too low. A touch of the finger instantly adjusts the length ofthe line for tab- ular work. lt is a pleasure to address postals and envelopes on this machine, and speed heretofore unattained is easily possible. The ribbon is on removable spools and colors may be changed quickly without soiling the fingers. lt is not necessary when writing with the shift key depressed, to release it to get the period, comma, etc., while they can also be used without depressing the shift key. The entire connection from the key to the type is metal and the blow is struck on a platen, whose foundation is the earth, thus mak- ing the machine the best manifolder ever invented. The tendency of other platen machines being to lift the platen under a heavy blow. lt is the most nearly noiseless, the most durable, the simplest, does the best work, and is the best machine made. The black and white Celluloid keys are the least tiring to the eyes of any made and the size and shape of the keys are the most conven- ient for the operator, while the keyboard being 'tuniversalf' operat- ors on theleading keyed machines have no ditliculty in operating it. Remington operators, especially, find themselves at home on this machine. The Brooks weighs only I7 pounds, instead of 30 or 55 pounds and has only 6oo parts instead of 3,ooo. Seven Operators on the Brooks will do the work of It-n Operators on any ofthe other machines. The time saved will pay you to exchange your machines now in use for the Brooks. C. C. W.

THE PHOEN X. To enjoy bicycling you must ride not ALONE an ELE19AN'l', but also a sAF1c wheel A broken frame is unknown to P11'1aN1x riders. Not the least of the pleasures of cycling lies in having a wheel that is recognized by every onlooker as being 12111211 CLASS. P11ucN1x riders have the assurance that their mount is beyond criticism,-the easy, graceful lines of the frame, the ele- gant finish, that thoroughbred air that speaks of money, time and care used in designing and building-in facta wheel built without regard to expense and having in view only the absolute determination to please the rider. SOME THINGS YOU CAN DO ON A PHOENIX. Fasten one end of its crank in a vice, put a giant crank-bender on the other end and the weight of a man of 175 pounds on the end of the crank-bender and you CANNOT draw the crank out of line nor break it, though untempered and soft to the nie. Again, lay on the floor the front wheel of our racer fweighing 2 pounds complete with tirej and let three men, aggregate weight of ooo to 7oo pounds, stand directly on the spokes and you cannot find a bent or distorted spoke when the wheel 1S released from the weight. Again, tap the bar of the frame with a pencil, it will give a clear, bell-like note, showing that by our method of re-en- forcement the vibrations travel all through the frame and do not stop at the head and crank hanger, thereby causing crystal- lization and in time, destruction of the frame. Our weights are from 20 to 22 pounds for Racers, 26 to ZQ pounds for Road VVheels, and our prices range from 3125.00 to S1 50.00. A postal card will bring you catalogue and any information wanted, but we would like to have you call when we will take pleasure in showing the details of construction, convincing you of the great economy in buying the P11f12N1x as the BEST Eastern Branch of the STGVER BICYCLE MFG.
