Hess, vice-president and inven | tor, again scores with a new special qui- ‘ et Royal typewriter. The lcocal cffice of the Royal Typewriter Co., Inc., of 17 Steuben Street, city, bave just received from their factory a shipment of a few of these machines. The Royal Typewriter Co., Inc, will still continue the production of the pres- ent Standard typewriter, and in addition will manufacture a sufficient number of the special machines to fill all require- ments. On interviewing their local ,manager, Mr. Alex R. Gaul, he states that they are not attempting to market the special Royal irom the viewpoint of its mechan- ical features which ave noise reducing. They intend to ccmpete with the present standard typewriters and not only with typewriters in the noiseless field. The special machine embcdies features em- ploying the greatest possible refinement in a typewriting machine, which inci- dentally brings it into the noiseless class and adds to its other qualifications that of practical noiseless operation, plus the refidement in production and excellence of workmanship and material, brings about not only the various advantages of touch but incidentally freedom from all objectionable noise and operation. The light running quiet action of the machine brings with it a velvet or elastic touch not approached in any other type writer. The speed has been increased very noticeably and the beauty of the work, which has made the Royal famous has also improved. The Royal Typewriter Co’s. local branch office do not expect to make de- liveries on the new special machine until the latter part of the month. With the object of booking orde-s among those using and interested in typewriters and who will be sure to give preference to the best, Mr. Cancryn ex- pects one of these beautiful machines which will be placed on demonstration in St. 'T'homas and this island.
