The New Royal alone is adaptable to the individual touch of the typist. Only Boyal's Touch Control enables her instant- ly to match the key tension to her exact finger pressure, type easily, naturally! And only Royal provides nearly a score of other exclusive features which permit the same amazing flexibility. That's why typists prefer this sensa tional new typewriter-why they type faster, better, and without strain.
