It is with gratification as complete as it was unexpected that we put
this machine in the list.
It prints more neatly and perfectly than the Remington; not so fast and
not so easily. A scholar’s type-writer; a type-writer for business not
requiring speed or amount of work. Whoever wants a type-writer but has
too little use for it to justify paying a hundred dollars for it, he is
the man or woman, boy or girl for whom this machine is exactly right.
Nobody wants to take the time to acquire facility with a type-writer
that amounts to nothing after he has learned it. The limit of the value
of the “World” is its speed; which is from twenty to thirty words a
minute. We hear that sixty words a minute has been attained. We are
sure of thirty. Weight in box 5 lbs.
We are not permitted to sell it for money; only with subscriptions.

Wringer with folding bench. Price $6; for $6.50 in new subscriptions.
Better than a tub wringer can be; handier; more substantial. Altogether
the best of wringing devices. Folds into small floor-space. The proper
place for it is where the family does its own work and wants the best
facilities.

Wringer. Price $2.75; for $3.50 in new subscriptions. The simplest of
all the wringers. You put it on the tub; and the wringing pressure is
on. Take it off the tub; and the pressure is off the rolls. For this
reason the rolls are less likely to be injured by careless or ignorant
treatment than those of any other style of wringer.
