Dear SRI have for tome time past been
threatening to write to you, TO let you know
how well | am 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 winch time nearly all the
printers OF this city, and a number of our
most ingenious mechanics. have called to px-
anime it. They have pronounced il as COM
Plete in every respect, as any machinery
they have ever seen.
The following is the idea have oft.
No Printing Press has everbeen construct
ed, on which more or better work can be
done in given time.
The exertionof working it is no more than
healthy exercise for a boy of Is years of age.
Il have boy OF that age TO work on mine. J
1t is we'll made, the different parts admirs

Other pressestc get out ofrepair.
