power. :gl,h z considerable djmunilion OLA |
Dor to the wori: men and 80 far as relates |
10 the one ypu manufactured for me, can
safely say, that il Is impossible for any press
TO produce more CquaJIe impression. The-I
ralten and bed Tor the iorm being both q
cast ROY, fully expect that this most essen |!
tal quality will be permanent.
Vllh hearty wishes Tor that success 10 your

We, the subscribers, having had the Ruth |
ven Press 10 operation toG some time past, !
are OF opinion, that it is equal in every re-
speCt 10 ATTY Press now il use. lis peculiar
merits consist, in the form remaining station
ary--the mode of giving the impression, and
the ease and facility with which the necessa-
ry power is applied by the workmen. We
hesitate not to declare our entire satisfaction
wjth the press, and that we look upon the
preference gNenit by the different work
men engaged, as conclusive testimony in It's F..
favor. (Signed) WILLIAM BROWN.

Sir-Solicilous as we feel Tor the encou-
of American genius, we cannot !
tie praise due a foreign invention
Of manifest advantage. The Ruhven Press, !
upon which we are desired 10 give an OPT |
nlon,we consider The most complete machine
Tor printing, we have ever examined. For
ease in working, we have never seen lis e
quail. From lis peculiar instruction, ingenius
as it is novel, we conceive it 10 be admira- !
bly, calculated for the performance ct good
printing. lFIth regard to lis ceIGrity, our
short acquaintance rilh toe machine pilll not
permit us TO speak positively; but we believe
!. will not be found inferior 10 any on the
filth respect, &c. &c.
