"XX/HHEN a man indulges in reckless » » statements he should bo prepared for discomfiture* is very applicable to this cage, and my only reason tor entering into this argument was to give the public the true facts of the case. It has already been shown that the "New Century" came out on top in the official test at Christchurch (if test it could be palled, as there 'were only three machines in it), and that it wa6 used there for the Court work. I did not consider it worth advertising, for if I advertise every victory of the New Century *! would have to lose too much writing advertisements. Mr. Le, Grove now goes off into a fresh subject, 'viz., the Telegraph Department, and on the strength of what one man says would try and lead the public to believe that his machine was the favoured one in spite of the fact that over 30 New' Centurys were purchased. And are they satisfied with them? Another testimonial jußt to hand speaks for itself: — "Dear Sir — As you desire an opinion regarding the suitability of the New Century Typewriter for telegraph work, I have much pleasure in stating that during some eight months' use the machines supplied by you have given every satisfaction, and ai - e, in my opinion, first-class Caligraphs for receiving telegrams from the sounder. Before purchasing a New Century I tried several other makes, but finally decided on a New Century as being the most suitable for our business, it having a FINE ELASTIC TOUCH, making LEAST NOISE, and being QUICKLY FED. Yours sincerely, (Signed) H. P. DONALD, , Telegraph Operator, Dunedin." We have much pleasure in endorsing Mr. Donald's remarks regarding the suitability of the New Century Caligraph for reoeiving telegrams direct from tho sounder. (Signed) R. C. O'CONNOR. A. G. WDLLIAMS. J. BUSHELL. Need any more be said? I think not. : Whatever visible writing may bo in theory there is- no doubt that in .practice the I'Caligraph," of which tho "Now Century" is the latest model, has in its nearly a quarter of a century existence proved itself all that is claimed for it, viz., the most simple, economical, and durable typewriter. A "Caligraph" after 16 years' use in one of Wellington's leading offices, just replaced by one of the latest stylo, is still in good working order, and may be seen at our sample room, 31, Victoria-street, by any . interested person.
