Writing Two Colors on a Plain-Ribbon Typewriter
To write red, or any other color, on a one-color ribbon typewriter place a long enough piece of red carbon paper, or the color desired, between the ribbon and the paper. It will hold its place quite well, does the work as well as a two-color ribbon used on expensive machines, and does not cost very much.—Contributed by Leslie E. Turner, New York City.
