A One-Sided Conversation:
?np?AKK ft look through our establishment ? Certainly, In a few momenta."
! "Yea, wo occupy the whole building?three stories, fifty-two and a h*.lf
' by ninety feet. Nearly fifteen thousand square feet of Boor space. All of
our largest and finest presses uro on this floor. This toio is the latest addition,
prints a sheet 29x42 at a maximum speed of 2,400 impressions an hour, running
without pcrccptlblo jar or vibration, with a 'click ' that does one good to listen to,
Wo doubt if its equal, for its class of work, is in the State."
"This is the press wc use for our finest Illustrated Catalogue. School Annual,
and other Hook Work; prints a sheet 31x50. It is driven by a direct, individual
electric motor?no belts or pulleys."
"These two arc for Railroad and Commercial Work, the largest one being used
for copying-ink work almost exclusively. All of our presses have automatic counting*
machines which register the sheets as they are printed, leaving no chance for errors i i
count. A great many blanks are put up in pads of fifty or one hundred; an
attendant watches tho'indicator, and when the figures show fifty or a multiple, n
bouid is laid between the sheets."
" No, the operator does nothing but cut paper nil the time. See, be must etil
a lot of it; wo have a machine solely to sharpen his knives. It's automatic, Urn,
sharp-Mis a knife forty-eight indies long. It used to cost a dollar when wo sent n knife
out to he sharpened"; we have a knife to sharpen about every five hours. Quite a
little saving, don't you think?"
"Over there is the large electric motor, and beyond is the gas engine, which we
keep as a ' reserve force.' "
''Suppose wo take the elevator, now, to the top floor."
" Nd, the large motor runs the elevator, too."
" How many employees? About sixty, all told."
"Very few people have an idea as to the extent of our establishment until they
go through it; then they invariably express astonishment."
" Yes, it takes lots of printing to keep them busy constantly. Sometimes we
wonder ourselves where it till comes from."
"No. no I The people realize that the newspaper is not ike only method of
advertising. For certain purposes, the circular is incomparably superior."
"The two mediums uro necessary each to the other. They do not conflict."
"We print a great many Circulars, Price-Lists, and the like. They have to be
gotten out very quickly s.elimes."
" Letter Circular? Ten thousand in two hours, if necessary.'"
'? Oh, of course. A reasonable amoun'. ,,f reading-matter."
"That is a Stumping Machine; for stumping in gold or silver on the covers of
Book*, stamping Itibbon Badges, etc."
" Yes, we have had it several years."
" Pure gold."
'? Ruling Machines. This one it the kind in ordinary use. We brag on the
other one: it takes a sheet fifty inches wide. We can ruh' a job on it that WO hud
to send to Boston once: couldn't get it ruled in Philadelphia."
'?.!u-: finished a Pay-R< 11 Sheet 19x48. Think of a sheet 4* inches wide."
'?Ye>. it had a printed heading. A large machine in one department calls for
large machines in other departments. In this instance, the largo press would have
been of no use without the huge ruling machine."
"This is n Round-Cornering Machine: this a Sewing Machine that will stitch
through half an inch of paper, and make a stitch three-quarters of an inch long, if
we wi>h it so; this a Punching Machine, and this an By clotting Machine, tor eyelets
like yon see in Calendars, Card Price-Lists, etc."
'? P?kling Machine?folds eight, twelve, sixteen, twenty-four, or thirty-two
pages; almost any size page."
"Then, here's n Wire Stitching Machine, a double-header?stitches on two
different kinds of work at the same time. One maybe an eight-page pamphlet and
the other may be its thick us the Century or Harper's Magazine. You've noticed the
wire staples that hind them together. Same kind of machine: lakes the steel wire
from a spool, cuts it to an adjustable length, forms it into a staple, drives it through
the hook, and clinches it ?120 staples on each side ? minute: lasier than an operator
can handle the work. Then the covers are pasted or glued on afterward."
"Oh, yes, wc hind all kinds of magazines.'''
"You can sen the progress of a Ledger, Journal, or Cash Rook being made to
order here. First ruled, then the heading printed, then the sheets inspected, folded,
sewed, and now the Leather Rinding being put on. Lots of people think we buy
the covers already made, but we do it all ourselves."
" Didn't know wc had an Engraving Department? "
?'Any and every kind, from the design lor a Catalogue Cover, or f. Letter
Heading, to cutting a wood type."
" Not much to he seen in that room. The "collating " or "gathering" of the
"forms" or "signatures" of a pamphlet or book is dene there. The forms are
arranged in sequence on the tables and girls walk around the tables and gather one of
each form until the complete book is gathered. Then it is ready for the stitcher.
Sometimes u dozen girls are walking around the tables, collating, at one time."
"A Paging Machine, an old-style Perforating Machine?hut 1 forgot to show
you a modern Perforator, one with live times tho capacity of this one ; we'll see thai
before we go down stairs. Surplus stock of envelopes, material lor binding, etc."
" On this floor we do all the type-setting and proof-reading?we pay particular
attention to our proof-reading, und you have no idea of the caro that a painstaking
proof-reader exorcises. Wc recently had a Univorsity mail to write us that our proof?
reading was equal or better than they had been getting in Philadelphia."
"Doesn't mattor?wc sometimes have (Jermun, Latin, (?rede, und Hebrew,
English, " its sho is spoke," or rather written, makes it interesting to a degree. Of
course, we have all the Dictionaries at our fingers' end*: Webster, the .Standard,
Century, Worcester."
" Yes, customers use different standards.' We have just finished a Cataloguo for
a School that uses Worcester, and, of course, we had to conform to Worcester ii: our
spelling throughout the Catalogue."
"Other reference books like the Encyclopedia Britannien, Appleton's, National,
various Atlases, Dictionaries of Foreign Languages, Algebraical Works, the Poet?,
Novelists, Philosophers, etc., must heat hand, also. You would he surprised at llie
familiar quotations that are misquoted. We verily and compare whenever there is
doubt. This is the duty of the proof-roudor and his assistant."
?lb ro are hundreds of pages of standing type?price-lists, railroad tariffs, and
items that are changed slightly and printed frequently."
" Yes, enough capital in standing type to equip a good-sized prii '? fi office. "
"These cabinets contain 'sorts,' or extra quantities of various let'-.rs, figures. Or
signs tluit may be needed any moment. Probably a ton that has neve: been used.''
"For instance, a Price-List may bo ordered, and it will be full of unusual
measurements (123TATn X 19 {*). signs (Ul? 47"), reference marks (* t i r ||),
or may require a very large quantity of sonic particular figure. An ordinary toilt of
type contains only a limited number of .-uch characters, so we prepare for these prob?
able demands us our judgment suggests. Wo printed a job u few duys ago thai
required, nearly three thousand (3,000) parenthesis ( ) murks. The number" that
usually accompanies the quantity of type necessary to set up such a job us a whole,
would be about twenty-live ; this .-hows the necessity for 'sorts.' "
'? Wo have in these cabinets nearly ten thousand engravings ? ?11 kinds, all
catalogued, numbered, and in their proper places. Wc can 'isi'.iil) find any one
desired in live minutes."
" The Stereotyping und Rubber Stamp Departments?it's rather warm in there
Well, you can take a look ut that another time."
" About 100?."
"Taking too much of my time? No, this is my business. If you uro interested,
you will be telling some of your friends, und that's just what we want."
" Down to the stock-room, nt-xt."
" Keeps one man busy all the time getting out stock for the presses, etc."
"Wait a moment, here's the Railroad Ticket Printing Machine. Prints and
numbers them at one oporntion. Operators are held responsible for correct count, etc
Vi course, every ticket 18 checked, double checked, before it comes out of tho 'cage.' "
"Don't average one error u your."
' There's another machine?for printing long runs on envelopes?that's as fust li?
the Ticket Machine."
'? Nearly ten thousand an hour."
" Automatically, of course."
" Here's the stock-room."
" A great ninny of our papers are made to order: our Stone Bond, and Crystal
Spring Brands?you've noticed tho water-marks'.' "
?? Five or ten tons at one time i? not an unusual order for this kind?to your left. "
" Why, the presses in the adjoining roam alone will use up two or three tons in
n day, sometimes."
"No, wo make no effort to 'job' pnper. Just fir our own needs."
" Here's where we keep our record of each order?if you instruct us to duplicate
your lust, order for Letter Heads or a Blank Rook, we get' the date from our Ledger,
then tho number of tho job. This number indicates an envelope containing your
original copy of the job, the proof, tho '?(). K." sheet, and a completed copy. 'The
record will also show who received the order, whether by letter, 'phone, or personally
the. date stock was gotten out, the quantity, then tho names of the various oper?
ators in the several departments who put 'tune' on tho job, the machines on which
it was run, the dnte it went to the delivery or shipping clerk, the amount of the
charge, the cost, and finally, the receipt from tho customer showing that it was
received in good order."
"Detail? yes, infinite; but ench job bus its peculiarities that make it different
from its companion that is being handled at the same time, requiring the exercise of
different degrees of knowledge, experience, or oxportness?so there is no danger of
monotony."
"No. no I we hfcve orders from all over Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina.

A woman's greatest mission in this world
is to help baby. Teaching baby to cat. and
to walk and to talk. A rightly constituted
woman finds ill these her happiest employ?
ment. Too many women miss this happi?
ness because of their own ignorance or neg?
lect. No woman should be ignorant of bur
own physical make up. No woman has the
right to neglect the health of those delicate
organs of her body upon which depends the
life and health and happiness of her chil?
dren. The Mosaic command to " increase
and multiply" was no idle, thoughtless
edict. It was the command of Jehovah.
The woman who annuls it by neglect of her
womanly health commits a crime.
The best medicine for women is Doctor
Tierce's Favorite Prescription. It makes a
woman capable of performing her duty to
herself, her husband, her children and man?
kind. It acts directly upon the organs nis
tinetly feminine and makes them strong and
vigorous. It does away with the discom?
forts of the period preceding motherhood.
It makes baby's advent easy and almost
painless. It cures all weakness and disease
of the distinctly feminine organism.
In n family of parents and children there is
much care, many worries, numerous perplexities.
Itut. if sickness comes, everything else is small
beside it. How valuable then is a doctor in the
same block, or an experienced neighbor next
door. How much more comfortable lor all con?
cerned is a standard medical book on the table or
the bookshelf. It is Icsj; expensive than the doc?
tor, probably more reliable than the expci lenced
neighbor. Or. Pierre's Common Sense Medical

TlltH of Wisdom.
A wiso woman will have her husband
so well trained that when she tolls him
a tiring once, it will bo enough. Men
hate to have a thing "dingdonged into
them." as s:omo of them elegantly ex?
press it. I am a very even tempered
man, but I think my self praise would
suffer a severe shock if my wife told mo
to-order a barrel of flour wheu wo first
got up ill the morning and then repent?
ed thu command six times at tho break?
fast table, twice while I was putting on
my overcoat and gloves and then fol?
lowed mo to tho gato to Bcreom it out
after mo as I turned the corner. Men
hate that sort of nagging.
A wise man will not tell his wife any
lies, tint even little white ones. If ho
must lie, ho will bo safer aud wiser if
ho lies to some one. less likely to uncov?
er his duplicity. A wife is a regular
ferret in a matter of this kind. I never
told mine ti harmless little fib in my
lifo that she didn't expose mo before tho
sun went down. It is wonderful what
clever iutuition women have in this di?
rection. It is dumfouudiug to men who
uro not always absolutely truthful. Tho
best of husbands often feel that thoro
aro things they won't "bother wife
with" ? little complications in their
business affairs or little extravagant ex?
penditures in tho wtiy of a hotel dinner
or Komo other little harmless affair of
which tlioy would just a little rather
not speak or in regard to which they
may equivocate. But they'd better toll
the truth and hold to it. It is always
best in tho end, its men find out tho
older they grow. I hnvo found it out
with, I trust, most of tho years of my
life still before me.?Zenas Dane.
