A Giant Underwood Typewriter at the Panama-Pacific Exposition, 1915
The Underwood Typewriter Company operated an enormous typewriter that was designed to impress fair-goers at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, which was "a world's fair held in San Francisco, in the United States, between February 20 and December 4 in 1915."
The company later exhibited another giant typewriter at the New York World's Fair in 1939 (see postcard image below).

Westward ho! Over the Rockies we go! On our way to the Golden Gate, we will see deserts, prairies, cowboys, ranches, mountains, canyons, and the wonders of the West! The Orient, the Occident, the South Seas, the Arctic--all the world will be there. Meet us in the Palace of Liberal Arts, Court of the Universe, San Francisco.
