The Vermont transcript. [volume] (St. Albans, Vt.) 1864-1870, 1868-02-07
u,re NE Fulfilled Our Promise?


rors everal weeks past we have assured
oaders in a double-leaded article,
a., about the first of February the WEIR
Noxr TRANSCRIPT would appear in an
enlarged form, and greatly improved in
every department. We meantjust what
we said. and we leave our readers to de-
eide. after examining this sheet, if we
have not fulfilled the promise to the
Letter. Promises" we admit, =" are Of
easy generation;" that "they are not
always healthy children, and sometimes
fail utterly of maturity" But these
soothing words cannot apply to our case.
Our paper speaks for itself. The 'child"
i healthy, and shows abundant signs OF
maturity, both in its handsome, we'll
balanced head, and comely and appro-
priate dress. To bring about these i'm
provements, which We are sure will be
fully appreciated by the friends of the
TRANSCRIPT, much expense has been
involved. First, it was necessary to
purchase Power Press of sufficient size
to print large form and edition with
great rapidity. To this end we spent
much time in examining into the mer-
its of the various presses that are offered
by manufacturers, and finallypurchased
what is called Campbells Country
Newspaper and Job Press" and on this
this sheet is printed. The Campbell
Press i'm its construction, is somewhat
similar to the Hoe Press which is
used in several of the largest Off
ces III this State. 1t is claimed
for the Press, that for simplicity of con-
struction, thorough distribution, clear
ness and beauty of impression, with
perfection of registry, the machine has
no equal, and that 1t is particularly
adapted oall the requirements of first
class Office-Book, Job, and fine News
paper work, from the finest job in colors;
or a script circular, TO a double-sheet
poster. There is but one ether press OF
the kind in the State, and that is in the
office of the Woodstock Standard. We
have no doubt but that il will fully come
up to our expectations.
Notwithstanding the type on which
the TRANSCRIPT has been printed, is in
good condition-and We may here say
that we have had the credit of printing
as neat paper as there is in the State
We have substituted new type in the
place of the old, and this is also for our
readers to say whether or not we have
used good taste and judgment in our Sc
hon. In short, the TRANSCRIPT, rs
low printed, bears little resemblance TO
the one of two weeks ago; yet it is the
same paper and controlled by the same
management, and will labor to the same
end and for the same worthy objects. 1t
will pursue straightforward, indie
pendent course, regardless of fiattery on
the one hand, or threats on the other.
Such paper is needed in this commu-
nifty, and such paper We shall print;
and such paper, we believe, will meet
with good support. We do not expect
to please all, nor shall We tlyt0;' for the
moment we do this, our paper would be
a complete mass Of glittering generali-
ties.n
Our present quarters are in large and
pleasant rooms, in Barnes new Block,
on Lake Street, which have been spec
tally fitted up for the VERMONT TRANS
cRIPT ESTABLISHMENT; and we think
we have right TO say that we have one
of the best appointed job and newspa-
per offices in the State. A cordial invi-
tation is hereby extended to all TO take
look at our office and its contents. We
think you will like theloOks of us. Call
and see. Terms of the TRANSCRIPT,
S2.00a year in advance.
