I wish to call your attention to my INKING ATTACHMENT for the HAMMOND TYPEWRITING As Written: TYPE-WRITING MACHINE; [it is used instead of squeezing ink from a ribbon that requires renewing from six to twelve times a year at a cost of as many dollars and at best makes a blurred impression]. My attachment distributes ink upon the face of the type and they print direct upon the paper; making a clear, clean, sharp impression also enabling the machine to do good manifolding. Twenty-five centsEditorial Note: .25 worth of ink will accomplish more work than twenty-five dollarsEditorial Note: 25.00 worth of ribbons; consequently the Machine Company does not favor my invention because it reduces their income on ribbons that cost eight centsEditorial Note: .08 and retail for one dollarEditorial Note: 1.00.

My attachment will be left on trial, the price of it with sufficient ink [any color, all copy] to last for years is but five dollarsEditorial Note: 5.00, payable after it proves entirely As Written: entirly satisfactory.

Will you please allow me to put one on your Typewriter As Written: Type-Writer ?

Awaiting your reply, I remain,
