Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Seetion 157 Typewriting New method enables anyone to write 80 to 100 words a minute without mistakes. It's all in the FINGERS! Doubles and Trebles Salaries Now, for the first time, has an idea been discovered which puts speed — great speed and accuracy—within the reach of every typewriter user. Almost overnight it has revolutionized the whole typewriting situation. Stenographers who formerly never exceeded 30 to 40 words a minute are writing 80 to 100 words with less effort and with far greater accuracy than ever before. And their salaries have jumped from a meagre $8 to $15 per week to $25, $30, and even $40. Amazingly Easy for Anyone — Only 10 Lessons Why Aren't Stenographers Better Paid ? Marie Parker A. H. Gardiner E. Stoneaian 1,800 240 900 780 No matter how low your present speed, no matter how labored your efforts, no matter how weak or clumsy your fingers now seem to be, no matter how little or how much experience you have had. r.o matter what other courses you have taken, this new method will positively bring you the desired results, as thousands of stenographers — and ministers, lawyers, reporters and writers as well — have already proven. There are only 10 lessons, amazingly easy and fascinating. A few short weeks of spare time study is all that is required. Trained Fingers — The New Way European music teachers, when training their pupils for the piano, invariably give special finger exercises. This is because the untrained way is not the right way. The best results cannot be obtained— the fingers simply cannot be used correctly — unless the student develops and strengthens the proper muscles. This training is even more essential to expert typewriting. The reason that so few people can write more than 30 to 40 words a minute is because their fingers are not flexible or Why are most stenographers getting only $8 to $15 a week — while others get $25, $30, and even $40? Eight words tell the story. It's nothing in the world but lack of speed and accuracy on the typewriter that is keeping salaries down — that is robbing most stenographers of the pay they ought to get. Think a minute. What is a stenographer paid for? Isn't it for the finished product — for the quantity and quality of letters or other typewritten matter you can turn out in a day ? No matter how good you are at shorthand, you can never expect much increase in pay until you get speed— real speed— and accuracy on the typewriter. Here are a few examples of how theNew Way in Typewriting has already resulted in increased pay. Letters from these students and from scores of others will be found in the free book.
