1913 Intertype Advertisement

This item was recently offered for sale on eBay.

Strong claims here for the Intertype and an illustration of what appears to be a Model A machine.

Claims include: “Magazines changed in 20 seconds, Speedier, More Modern, More Reliable, More Economical, Better, Simpler, Less Trouble, Less Repairs, Less Expense, Cheaper.

Although not specifically stated in the advert. we can presume that the comparisons were against the contemporary Linotype machine.
