THE SONG OF THE NEW CENTURY.
The TWENTIETH CENTURY has ai rived not a minute late And has brought us something that's strictly up-to-date . That of which I speak in this little paragraph, Is the typewriter— "THE NEW CENTURY CALIGRAPH " It has a mimeograph device, well, really it is fine, And a variable space-release, for wntmg on a line, An easy moving margin-stop and tabulating locks , A firm ball-bearing carriage thatnevei, never rocks The escapement at the back is a maivel worth beholding A short and steady type-bar built foi manifolding. It has, above all others, what the woild has longed for much— Oh, wonder of all wonders' That soft and velvet touch ' This is no idle boast, don't let me see you wink, If I tell you it will write as fast as yon can think And your letters will be written as they never were before And the postman will be busy bringing orders to youi door — H. B. N. Disbrow
