friends, the school compositions of your little once-all are best and most legibly written with the friendly aid of the Remington Portable.
Like every Remington, it is sturdy and dependable, stay to operate and turns out beautiful work....
-and all these well-known, standard Remington qualities are so wonderfully compacted that they fit in a case only four inches high.
And you will be pleased to note that the keyboard, the great operating feature, is of the same size, with the same nam ber of printing keys as the Standard Remington you have been using in your office for so long. No shifting for figures.
The Remington Portable was designed by Remington Engineers to be your com panion and friend for intimate writing. It is made light in weight so that it can be easily carried. It is made small in sise so that it can be tucked away in desk drawer or on the book-shelf-and Remington quality is built in, because that's the Remington way.
