WHY?

Because, not only was it British, but it was proved to be better and cheaper than Foreign-made typewriters.

HOW?

Not only the Home, Dominions and Colonial Governments, but also the Swedish Government hare decided to replace Foreign-made typewriters by the "Imperial."

As the result of open competition they were proved better and cheaper. Leading Firms in Britain, Australia, S. Africa and Canada are doing the same.
