Mustang Mailer Manual Contact Printer, 1915-1920

Addressing machines saved time, money and labor for early 20th-century businesses that sent out mass mailings, such as newspapers, catalogs or direct mail advertising. This Mustang Mailer could print names and addresses directly onto the outer paper cover or wrapper. No pasting was necessary. The device, period advertisements claimed, was indispensable and could print 1,500 to 2,500 addresses an hour.
