OWING to misrepresentations made by canvassing Munobausons most of whom know as ranch about Typewriters as a mnle does of logarithms—l am constrained I (as unblushing or any other form of lying is outside my repertoire of accomplishments) I to challenge the Agents of rival Typewriters | to an exhaustive trial of the merits of the several Machines on the market. I do not dictate conditions—which must be decided by capable business men—but suggest that these should include— SPEED OF MACHINE MANIFOLDING POWER RANGE OP WORK ■ BASE OF MANIPULATION. Points to be allowed for every valuable and special feature. Contest if possible to take place in connection with the Exhibition. This challenge is issued to protect the public against unsornpulous canvassers, whose faith can best _be gauged by the jsd test. The-mere oirqamstauoe that the ROYAL BAR-LOCK took the Gold Medal at a Special Exhibition of Typewriters at Paris last year and received four additional Gold Medals this year at Industrial Exhibitions in England should not discourage men who depend npon the gullibility of the public and their own rugged eloquence to effect sales of inferior machines. Particulars as to contest or machine can bo obtained from E. J. LE GROVE, Sole Agent for the Royal Bar-Lock, 42, Lambton quay, or at Exhibition. 288 APOLOGY.
