IBM typewriter with proportional spacing was introduced in 1941.

I've got one of those, exactly like the one in the old advertisement you posted. I bought it at an auction of Texas state agency used and surplus office equipment in 1980 and lugged it around all through college and law school. The thing weighs a ton but was built like a tank.

I like old machines. I have a couple manual Royal typewriters, one with all-caps. Built like tanks indeed!
