Adding and Calculating Machines. Rare advertising use of Zeno's Paradox and yet they explain it as well.

I spend a lot of time at a keyboard. In fact, those are my arms, clad in full-length gold gloves. I wear them all the time when I'm posting things on the Internet. :D (I have several pairs!)

I don't use ballpoint ink very much, but I do when I'm away from my keyboard.

The Addressograph-Multigraph Corporation, 1936-37
Addressograph invents the word MULTILITHING. Which I think means "printing a lot" of paper to use in your business.
( There's a new word in business - Multilithing )
LOVE the fonts on this one.

( Business grows on the forms it uses. )
I love little labeled pictures (Richard Scarry, you have so much to answer for).

This is a dual ad - for Addressograph, using Carte Blanche's cachet (thx!) to namedrop. Addressograph came up with those amazing (GAH I wanted one so bad) machines that copy the card embossing over to a carbon form. CHA CHUNK. You know, these old things.

Our office still has one (but it's a PWP-1000 instead of a 2000) quietly gathering dust in a corner. Perhaps one day I'll see if it still works, but I seriously doubt it.
