A bowl of flowers rendered on an

Underwood Portable by the use of
three characters-the "M", the " X "
and the "@". The original is in two
colors and IOV2 inches long.

Here is another simple but effective

rendering of a typewriter "drawing"
— the peacock. The original, 12^2
inches high, is in two colors and rep-
resents the use of two keys, the "M"
and the " X "

But one of the fascinating things about Typeys is that almost every
fan finds a way of using these characters that is all his own. And that
is just why we're going to leave to your own good imagination the mat- »mmm

we dismiss the subject entirely we want to draw your attention to the
possibilities of the Back Spacer. Incidentally, only on an Underwood
Portable is the Back Spacer located in the same position that it occupies
on the big machines of business . . . on the left-hand side of the key-
board. The Typey fan finds the Back Spacer a marvelous little aid in ??????

illustrated in this book were created.
