“Century Green on a Corvair is the only color combination that has ever made me finish a letter. — Anonymous”
“I rented a Millvale Office No. 9 for a year. I returned it late. They charged me a ribbon, not a fee. — P. Sund”

“My house call was scheduled between two funerals and a harvest. He arrived early and fixed the tab while I made tea. — Mrs. P. Vasse”
“I asked if they'd appraise a machine worth nothing. They said the opinion is free when the machine is honest. I don't know what that means and I frame it. — L. Mead”
