PIONEER
The No. 10 and No. 11 VISIBLE REMINGTON MODELS are the latest expressions of Remington leadership. They represent the sum total of all Typewriter Aoliferement--past and present.
They contain every merit that the Remington has always had, and every merit that any Writing Machine has ever had.
They contain, in addition, new and fundamental improvements that no typewriter has ever had; among them the FIRST COLUMN SELECTOR, the VIEST RULET-IN TAUULATOR and the First, REX-BET TABULATOR. These improvements are the latent contributions to Typewriter Progress, and they are Remington contribations-every one.
The Remington, the Original Pianoor in the Typewriter field, is the present-day Pioneer in all now Developments of the Writing Machine.
