What I really need is a typewriter; an electric typewriter
At—and I’m not at all sure about this—around 14 years old, I stumbled upon an ad for an electric typewriter. It was an ad in a magazine or something. There was a coupon you could fill out and mail in. A Smith-Corona.
If you filled out the coupon, they would send you the typewriter. If you didn’t like it, you could send it back within 30 days. If you decided to keep it, you could pay in three instalments of, let’s say, $89 each.
