The typewriter has revolutionized commercial methods. It lessens labor, at the same time increases it. It has supplanted the pen in commercial correspondence, because it has greater speed, accuracy, and legibility. It magnifies and intensifies mistakes in spelling, punctuation, and capitalization, and as a result, leads to their correction. It stimulates accuracy by encouraging greater attention to detail, both on the part of the dictator and the typist. The typewriter has done more to promote the phenomenal business expansion during recent years than any other office appliance. Indeed, it has made most of the modern office appli- ances necessary, as well as possible.
