For eight decades, Manson Whitlock repaired typewriters.....

That would have been an interesting shop to visit.
I remember reading an article not long ago, from somebody who had been using a portable typewriter in public - it was a challenge to get something done, as so many people were coming up to him to talk about the machine.
Turntables are still being sold, perhaps typewriters may make a comeback....
RIP Mr. Whitlock.
Rgds, D.
