A Grent Printing Office.

We copy from Dickinson Almanac for l-iG, an
account OF his immense Printing office in Boston
The Office OF the Rotary Press covers an area oi
1928 square feet embracing ) rooms. 1t is light
ed by day, by ,G6+ squares OF glass set IN lVo al
terent windows; and by night, by gas shooting up
from 100 different burners In these premises we
have steam engine Of ten horse power, ADAMS
power presses, . Napier presses, rotary presses
Ruggles's job presses, II hand presses copper
plate presses . embossing presses hydrauAc press
standing presses. small power press, paper
cutters card cutters ink mil and machines for
shaving stereotype plates two OF which are moved
by steam power.
w. have more than 400 different styles OF types
borders flowers and cuts OF various sorts-In weight
go GOO pounds Theseare all held IN their places By
means of 500 type cases. 80 brass galeys 200 feet
standing ealevs $50 chases and bushels OF quolns
We have two large cisterns, which contain about
1000 gallons or upward of l. hogsheads of water
This is distributed through every part of the office
by means of 500 feet Of lead pipe. We use six
hogsheads OF water per day, which, supposne il
was brought in buckets, would take one man l3l
hours each day to furnish. allowing him to bring
four gallons every ten minutes Our various presses
throw of in the course of the year six million sixty
nine thousand four hundred and eighty sheets of pa
per or 1855 reams. Supposng each sheet 10 be but
2i feet long and that they were placed In one contipu
line they would stretch oot to l73 700 feet or
nearly 257j miles, about the distance from here 10
Europe.
1t is computed that We have printed the past year
l3o,2i00oo pages Of books, $1,000 circulars, $4,000
commercial and lawyers blanks 20 600 bank checks
$4,000 bilets, 100000 billheads 100000 shop-bills
and hand-bills. and 100000 of labels We have
cutup printed embossed and sold ,20l $50 cards,
or 24,03o packs. Our average consumption of coal
IS over two tons week, or more than 100 tons
year Besides our 100 gas burners, we use about
l50 gallons of oil for lights and machinery
For various printing takes 200 pounds Of ink
per annum, besides gold leaf, bronze and size Ia
our type and stereotype foundry, we have used the
past wear so 600 pounds of metal, and turned out
1000 stereotype plates, of various sizes and shapes
In our whole establishment we employ usually
about 100 hands, and it is safe 10 conclude that our
Office affords direct sustenance 70 at least 500 persona
