Description:
Another clean example, this one in Elite typeface. A basic service and away she goes. This one was an unsold end of estate sale typer that was headed for the roll off dumpster in the driveway.
For 1957 alone you get over 4,000 returns for Q-R ads. They spent money in the big papers and the small town ones as well. Sometimes taking out 3/4 page ads in places like the Chicago Tribune and the St. Louis Post dispatch. The theme is always the same. They tug on mom and dad to help their kids in school. In addition they run ads in all the big color magazines and run TV spots on the big shows. Did anyone else do TV commercials? I seriously doubt it.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington Quiet-Riter on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Quiet-Riter By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
