Typewriters For Rent

In the 1970s, people were still using typewriters, manual and electric. My manual typewriter no longer functioned so I went to a storefront business near the Garment District in Manhattan that rented typewriters for use on the premises. (I don't remember how much they charged per hour).

I always brought my own supplies,including a dictionary, therefore making it unnecessary for me to purchase typing paper, carbon paper, correction fluid, ballpoint pens, etc. from the typewriter rental store.

That place was a forerunner to today's copy stores that rent time on computers.
