Introduction

This blog is devoted to displaying vintage newspaper advertisements for the Corona Four typewriter, which was made from 1924 until 1941. Many of these advertisements are from the Seattle Times. The address given in many of them is 921 Second Avenue. This address is now home to the Henry M. Jackson Federal Building. Research on the former Burke Building and its features will also be a part of this blog.
