At 318 State Street, appoximately 300 feet northeast of here, C. Latham Sholes perfected the first practical typewriter in Septembr, 1869. Here he worked during the summer with Carlos Glidden, Samuel W. Soule, & Matthias Schwalbach in the machine shop of C.F. Kleinsteuber. During the next six years, money for the further development of the typewriter was advanced by James Densmore, who later gained the controlling interest and sold it to E Remington & Sons of Ilion, N.Y.
