158 Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Section 80 to 100 Words a Minute Guaranteed! Learn at Home — 10 Easy Lessons A wonderful new method of acquiring skill on the typewriter has been discovered. Almost over night it has revolutionized the whole typewriting situation. Already thousands of stenographers and other typewriter users who never exceeded thirty to forty words a minute, are writing 80 to 100 words with half the effort and with infinitely greater accuracy than they ever could before, and they're earning salaries increased in proportion. Nothing Else Like It Don't confuse this new way in typewriting with any system of the past. There has never been anything like it before. It is as different from the old touch systems as day is from night. Special Gymnastic Finger-Training Exercises bring results in days that ordinary methods will not produce in months. It is the greatest step in typewriting since the typewriter itself was invented — already its success has become nation-wide. Doubles and Trebles Salaries Among the thousands of operators who have taken up this system are hundreds of graduates of business colleges and special typewriting courses — many were so-called touch writers — yet there has not been a single one who hasn't doubled or trebled his or her speed and accuracy, and the salaries have been increased from $8 to $15 a week (their former pay) to $25, $30 and even $40 weekly. And the new way is amazingly easy f or anyone — there are only 10 lessons and they can be quickly learned at home. Valuable Book Free We cannot describe here the secret principle of this new method.
