8Let us send you the Oliver for Free Trial. The coupon brings it.
10If you agree that it is the finest typewriter, regardless of price, pay for it at the rate of $3 per month. We ask no payment in advance. You have over a year to pay. And you'll have the Oliver all that time. There is no need to wait until you have the full amount.
12The free trial does not cost you a penny. For, if after trying the Oliver you wish to return it, we even refund the transportation charges.
14Our new plan has been a tremendous success. We are selling more Olivers this way than ever before. Over 700,000 Olivers have been sold! Oliver popularity is increasing daily.
16World's Greatest Typewriter Value
17For $57 you now obtain the identical Oliver formerly priced at $100. We are able to save you nearly half because of our radically new and economical method of distribution. During the war we learned many lessons. We found that it was unnecessary to have such a vast number of traveling salesmen and so many expensive branch houses throughout the country. We were able to discontinue many other superfluous sales methods. The result—we can afford to sell at $57 the very same Oliver formerly priced at $100.

And this machine you now get for $57, payable at the easy rate of $3 a month.
