They made bicycles too... or Hunter Arms made bicycles. And so did Remington and Lefever.

The much more lucrative typewriter market and his designer Alexander T. Brown's assertion he could make a better one, is the reason Lyman C. Smith dumped the gun business off on the Hunter Brothers and moved on to bigger and better things. Remington and Ithaca both made typewriters as well, but stuck to the gun business.

Underwood made a beautiful typewriter, and M1 carbines.

That may very well be Mr. Spencer but nothing beats a Corona.
When someone asks about the spelling of my last name I assess their age. If they are under 55 I say it's spelled like the beer. If I say it's spelled like the typewriter they say "HUH, what's that?" I must be getting old.

And yet, I always associated you with that little Toyota from years back. Those same millennials wouldn't get that one either.

Sheesh.... it's Corolla Edgar - but then I knew a Japanese guy who named his first son Roger. It always made me laugh that he gave his son a name he couldn't even pronounce.... he always referred to him as "Logah".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Corona "In many countries, the Corona was one of Toyota's first international exports, and was shortly joined by the smaller Toyota Corolla, providing buyers with a choice of a larger car, with similar operating expenses to the smaller Corolla. The Corona was Toyota's second sedan in their hierarchy of products, just below the Crown, until 1968 when the Corona name was used on a larger, all new platform called the Toyota Corona Mark II, which gave buyers more interior space while still offering dependable, affordable performance." |
