ing division 1t is necessary TO kcepa large
| number Of these on hand, for the reason that

| ular division. Before going TO the printer they
| are received in the wetting room, counted and
| wet down preparatory to printing, and are de-
liyercd to the printers each morning, each man

| division for the number Of sheets drawn each
day. The wetting room is a separate division
| with its corps of counters AT the same time

| gree oil neat over night, They are then taken
