 I as 
 
 N this, my twenty-first year, it has occurred 
 to me to ascertain, for my own satisfaction 
 and for the information of my countless 
 friends, just to what extent the pioneer of 
 all typewriters outnumbers the combined forces of com- 
 petition in New York City — the headquarters of effort. 
 For the past sixteen years attempt after attempt has been 
 made to displace me in the estimation of the public, each 
 succeeding year producing more than its predecessor of 
 would-be rivals. Many have fallen by the wayside. Of 
 the survivors, not less than twenty-six different makes are 
 to-day represented in the New York market — Remington 
 and twenty-five other styles. In the following pages I 
 shall deal with the twenty-five competing machines 
 collectively, under the title ''AH Others.'' 
 
 A complete census of writing machines in use in 
 New York City is impracticable ; but, in view of the 
 prevailing tendency to concentration of business in the 
 large office buildings, an accounting of the conditions 
 therein existing will serve to reflect the sentiment of 
 the community*
