A Good Sign: Typewriters Adding Machines



Typewriters. Adding Machines. Adding Machines! Sold! Rented! Repaired! Rebuilt!!

But don't look for any of that here. You see from the windows that this is a location for Papa John's wretched prefabricate pizza. Somebody ought to rebuild those pizzas.

On Grand near Leonard in Williamsburg.
