We save for you money that was going for high rents, employes' salaries, etc. We also save on traveling salesmen, whose salaries, commissions and road expenses had to be paid for in the price of the typewriter. Our new plan dispenses with these superfluous sales methods. The saving is $36, and it goes to you. If you decide to keep the 01 rate of $4 a month.
