A Worlds Championship
Again Decided
Each year for twelve years the relative
qualities of typewriters in speed and
accuracy have been proved by contests
held in New York City for an Interna
tional Thousand Dollar Trophy Gup.
Champions have changed as the years
have passed, but this cup has- always
been won by an operator using the
Underwood Typewriter.
Once more and for the Thirteenth time
has this contest been held, and once
more has the supremacy of. the Under
wood been established.
On October 21st, at the Exposition of
Modern Office Equipment and Methods,
in New York, City, George Hossfeld,
operating an Underwood at the rate of
' 143 perfect words a minute for one hour,
defeating all contestants, became the
World's Champion Typist for the ensu
ing year.
