Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for their Electric Typewriter. There is a picture of a secretary in a white dress sitting on her office chair resting her elbow on her IBM typewriter as she looks at a notebook filled with shorthand that seems to have her highly confused. The headline says “No…the IBM Electric can’t decipher shorthand but…it will give you the world’s most eye-catching letters – and increase office efficiency, too!” There is a picture of one of their units, for which the claim is made that it “outsells all other Electrics combined” and the text mentions a few of the benefits you will receive by using this product.
