		+	== The Fox Typewriter Co ==
		+	The Fox Typewriter Co. was founded in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in the late 1800's. The machines made by Fox were very similar Remington typewriters made around the same time. Fox's copying of other machines eventually lead to their downfall, as the company was sued for the Fox portable typewriter, which closely resembled the Corona 3 bank made by the Corona Typewriter Company. The company attempted to survive the aftermath of the lawsuit, but was eventually dissolved as nobody had the capital to revive it.
