BULLETIN PRINTING HOUSE.

made in these columns Of The BULLETIN,
of improvements made from time to time,
in The BULLETIN Office, but no connected
details have been given of the various de-
partments and the material which consti-
tutes the complete establishment.
The present seems an opportune mo-
ment in which to present these details sue
cinctly, SO that the public may form some
idea, approaching accuracy, of "how it is
done" in THE BULLETIN Printing
House.
IN THE REAR
of the main building are located the News
Composing, JOB and Steam Press Rooms.
THE COMPOSING ROOM,
in which many hands are employed "at
case " and "on the FORMS" is snug and
neat, well lighted and ventilated, and con-
tains an immense amount Of printing ma
terial.
To this department VIC have lately added
new type, and stands of the latest patterns
THE JOB ROOM
is furnished with the very best material
all the latest styles of Job Printing type,
borders, etc. We have in use THREE
HUNDRED FONTS of type, and our facilities
for printing all kinds of large Posters and
all other kinds Of Job Printing from the
elaborate circular of many colors, to a
cent ballad, both in respect Of style and in
price, are unequaled by any office in
Southern or Central Illinois. To this
large stock, new patterns are constantly
being added. Six skilled mechanics are
employed in this department. also I'M
der the immediate supervision of
Mr.. Samuel NJ. Dickson, a master me-
chanic-a Job Printer whose good taste
and skill have given him an enviable rep
utation in his trade.
IN THE BOOK DEPARTMENT
we are prepared to print books of thous-
and pages or pamphlets of two, in type
of any size, at prices in: competition with
those of the larger cities of the East and
West.
THE PRESS ROOM,
is in charge of Mr.. l.. Cassett, II thorough
and experienced workman. Here may be
seen our new FoUR-RoLLER CorTREr.L
AND BABcocK DRUM CYLINDER Press,
which cost where it stands $4,000 press
superior to the celebrated Hoe press, and
on which the finest printing can be done
also, our half.medium UNIVERSAL PRESS,
which is, we have no hesitation in saying,
the best bed and platen press manufac-
tured in this or any other country. We
have also in constant use the Gordon and
Degener presses, all driven bya
TEN HORSE POWER ENGINE,
built especially for THE BULLETIN, by
Messrs. Reed & Mann, and which has
given US unqualified satisfaction. 1t is
just the thing-a thing Of beauty and
works like charm. To the building of
this engine Mr.. Mann, who has grown
gray in his business and knows all about
it, gave his special attention, and we have
to thank him for job we have tested and
not found wanting in any particular.
The Boiler, Engine and Shafting were
put in place, and all the machinery of the
Press Room arranged and fitted up by
Messrs. Rennie Il Co., the work being
done under the supervision of Mr. Charles
Slack, to whose skill and industry we are
under many obligations.
BINDERY.
In this department Mr.. l. Z. Huels, late
of st. Louis Mo-, is the superintendent.
He is II thorough master Of his business,
and, We venture to say has no superior in
the United States. If any doubt the as
serton, we recommend them to pay the
bindery visit, and they viii. be shown
specimens of hand gilt work for covers of
books, etc, of great beauty and elaborate
design, from the medival style to that of
the most modern. 1t need, therefore be
hardly necessary to say, that all work in
this establishment for finish and durabil-
ity cannot be excelled, and the prices
cannot be competed with.
The machinery Is all Of the very best
description, amongst which are Ruling
machine, Hickock standing press,
Hoole Paging machine, span new
Brom Il Carter card cutter, costing $3.50,
Table shears, and a complete set of finish
ing tools. All work warranted, of what.
ever kind. Persons having magazines,
to be bound, old books rebound, or gliding
in leather etc, ETC., should bring them on
Immediately before the Fall rush.
IN CONCLUSION.
We have built up in Cairo, from
very small beginning, a Printing Estab-
lishment and Book Bindery complete in
all their details, an establishment in which
every Egyptian should take a pride. We
ask no bonas to maintain us but we
do ask that our people will give to us "A
liberal patronage. We can do work at as
low figures and AS well as similar work
can be done in st. Louis, Chicago or Gin
cinnati, and we therefore ask that our
home people shall patroize The BuLLE-
TIN in preference to printing Offices in the
cities We have named.
