Two Business Men
and a Girl
THEY were reading the Noiseless booklet, and
they came across the photograph of the type
writer on page four.
"That's funny," said the younger of the two men.
"I had an idea that the Noiseless must be some kind of
a freak machine, or something. Why, that's a better
looking machine than we have here in this office."
The girl nodded. "True, but don't you imagine
it must be rather slow or something? It hardly
seems possible that it can really be noiseless. What
do you think, Mr.Smithi"
Mr. Smith war, busy translating thoughts into
action. "I don't know any more about the Noiseless
than you do," he said, "but it certainly is worth inves
tigating. What wouldn't we give for a quie,t office!"
That's the right spirit. "See what it's like, any
way." Ten minutes trial will answer all your ques
tions about its work its speed its touch its new

The Ediphone System, based upon The Ediphone,
does more than just give you "another way" to
write your letters. It gives you the one right
way, the convenient way, the economical way,
the better way.
The Ediphone eliminates shorthand and its delays
and high costs and only partial efficiency. It
saves the necessity of writing your letters twice,
once in shorthand and once on the typewriter.
With The Ediphone they are written once on
the typewriter.
The Ediphone gives the busy man and that
. means any business man the system for his
correspondence that is so logical, so sound, so
appreciably efficient and better, that The" Edi
phone is now 'writing more than one million
letters a day for American business.
