Exclusive | Last New York -New Writing Sopping Store gets a help from George Clooney to stay in the sea, despite the sinking industry

In New York City, there is still at least one remaining place untouched by modern technology.

At Gramercy Typterwriter Co., there is no eye screen – the most advanced part of technology can simply be wireless fixed phone raised in a counter.

“I prefer to write someone a letter on an email every day,” he told posting the writing machine technician Jay Schweitzer, who inherited the business from his father.

“It’s a beautiful sound. I mean, there is nothing like that.”

But repairing the typewriter is a faded field. In offand, Schweitzer may name some remaining typewriter stores across the country, but this month, the only typewriter in Boston is the closing – and Gramercy Typewriter CO is the last of NYC.

The company was started by Schweitzer’s grandfather, Abraham, and passed on to Jay’s father, Paul, who, in 87, is still fixing cars every day.

“Retirement was never something to take into account,” said the new Schweitzer. “He slowed down it a little, but he enjoys what he does and is looking forward to being in that working bar every day.”

Today, they sell an average of 40 to 50 typewriters each month, with inventory-some of which were earned from closed stores in the region-dating from decades.

Machines have even been borrowed for Hollywood projects and stage productions, from “The Wonderful Madaus Maisel” to the “The Post” of Steven Spielberg. Currently, company typewriters can be followed on stage at the Broadway show “Good night and good luck” interpreting George Clooney.

The third generation family business never worried about entering the computer industry despite the rapid development of the world’s wide network.

Cars built in the past centuries-not laptops that give half a decade-are more of their type (forgiveness of jobs).

“I don’t meet many people who say,” I’ll go to fix my laptop. “It is simply not cost effective.

“It doesn’t happen here.”

Growing up, he would come to work with his father during the summer vacation from school to see and teach family trade, often loaded with “things like strips spool”.

At that time, the typewriter was in every office at every table, but when the computer gained attraction between the public, the relics moved to the storage closets and was left to collect dust.

But it did not wet the souls of schweitzers.

While dozens of competitors tried to adapt to the technological advances at the time – plunging into duplicates, printers and even computers – Gulercy Cro car was true for some of the machinery they knew.

“It was already a very redundant business and they were trying to catch as they were just learning,” Schweitzer recalled. “My dad didn’t feel it was time at his age to start learning something new.”

He added: “It was like learning a new language and he did not want to start returning to school, say.”

That is, perhaps, the secret of their long business, which has flourished since 1932, exceeding all their competitors.

But his clients include generations, from older clientele who have used cars for years at General Z, who has been creating a revival of old school relics, such as fixed phones, vinyl records and even tape tapes.

“We have parents who come in with these 7-, 8-, 9-, 10-year-olds who have seen the typewriter somewhere and liked it, be it a movie, television shows, Broadway, the friend’s house,” Schweitzer explained.

Parents, he said, are happy to spray on the oppression object if they keep their children “away from the screen”.

“Despite the reason they are getting a typewriter, one thing is for sure,” Schweitzer said.

“Even when they are not being used and they are sitting on a table or a piece of furniture, they look beautiful-maybe the best look someone has in their home or office-and will continue to be easily available to use for the next decades.”
