Daily Republican-News, 1911

"The Hamilton Autographic Register Co., of Hamilton, manufactures the now world-famous autographic registers which are in demand and are generally used wherever modern business methods have been introduced into business fields of activity.

The concern is the pioneer in the autographic register field. It has long supplied business houses with the well known register which not only serves as a protection to the business manager himself but is alike a source of interest and protection to the customer, in that it enables the one to discover the cause for whatever errors that may creep into the affairs of his business and is a means of relieving any mistake that the customer might discover in his dealings with this concern and that.

The methods of conducting business today are vastly different than they were ten or twenty years ago. New and up-to-date methods have been introduced into all mercantile affairs, so that the business man of today instead of buying a half dozen different arrangements, or employing two or three extra clerks or assistants, has found that in such a combination of brains and mechanism as the Hamilton Autographic Register, he can not only save the expense of extra help, but at the same time save time enough to permit him to devote additional time to the furthering of his own business interests.

Various types and designs of autographic registers are manufactured by the Hamilton Autographic Register Co. and practically all of the wholesale and retail establishments in the country are using the local product.  One of the important types used is the register known as the “multigraph”, which permits the writing of two to four detailed invoices at a single operation.  By a special device to be found only in the Hamilton machine, the duplicates are held in place so perfectly that the carbon copies always appear in the right position, even with very intricate tabulated forms."
