This has been totally awesome. Thanks for all the time and trouble you went through to share this with us. I loved the testimonials from the satisfied customers too, and the solid wood desks!

Re: Thinking about scanning an 1896 Typewriter Company Catalog
Fantastic information. Thanks!
I'm amazed at the steep prices for typewriters! $100 for many of the typewriters being sold. That's roughly 20% of the average annual earnings of the American worker in 1890. Still, $100 for a Williams . . . .
I wonder if they're still taking orders? (=
