Dear Sir have for tome time past been
threatening to write to you, TO let you know
how well ain pleased with the Ruthven
Press, improved and made by you but a
variety of circumstances have prevented it,
have had it in constant operation three
months during which time nearly all the
printers of this city, and number of our
most ingenious mechanics, have called to ex-
anime it. They have pronounced it as COM
plete in every respect, as any machinery
they have ever seen.
The following is the idea | have of it.
No Printing Press has ever been construct
ed, on which more or better work can be
done in given time.
The exerlionof working it is no more than
healthy exercise for boy of Is years of age.
q have boy of that age to work on mine.
1t is well made, the different parts admira-
bly, proporlioned, and not more liable than
other presses to get out of repair.
