Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for their Typewriter Service. There is a picture of a very confused man with a disassembled typewriter in the table in front of him and he is holding a part in his hand with a look of “What is it?” on his face. The headline urges “…better let us do the fixin’ Mr. Potts!” and proceeds to explain how precise and complicated the modern typewriter really is. After urging all users to send their machines in to Smith-Corona to be repaired it also mentions that Uncle Sam needs 600,000 typewriters to aid their war effort.
