Description
Black and white 9 1/4″ x 13 1/4″ ad for the Monroe Calculating Machine Company, Inc.. The ad headline says that “Business Depends On Monroe For Figures” and then shows a series of five different photos to illustrate. The pictures are entitled Burns; Fabrics; Ink; Service; and Posting. There is a lot of text associated with each of these topics but I will just tell you what they say in general. “In every type of business, everywhere, Monroes are turning out the greatest volume of accurate figures at the lowest cost. They are also saving strain and fatigue for tens of thousands of figure workers. The ‘Velvet Touch’ Monroe keyboard (the easiest operating keyboard ever made), Monroe simplicity and quietness have made Monroe the operators favorite. Among the 200 Monroe models is a machine for any type of business figuring – and back of every Monroe machine is a nation-wide figure service, operated through Monroe-owned branches”.
