Rogow Goes
Retro with
Typewriter Shop
ERIC SCHUCHT | JE STAFF
I t seems that just about everyone who wanders into Pam
Rogow’s shop has some sort of typewriter tale.
Th e room, fi lled with 50 manual and electric typewriters
of various ages and styles, has a strong impact on visitors.
One person told Rogow how their father would use a type-
writer to do his taxes, hearing the clicking and clacking of the
device as they went to bed. Another recalled using one for their
fi rst job out of high school.
Th e sound, the touch, the sight of a room fi lled with these
machines causes all those memories to come rushing back: Th at’s
the eff ect W.P.M. Typewriter Shop has.
Mt. Airy has been home to the store since its grand opening
in fall 2017. Th e business off ers a variety of typewriters of all
ages for sale and rent, along with typewriter classes and repair
services. Rogow estimated she owns close to 200 typewriters,
three of which type in Hebrew.
