Of improvements made from time TO time,
in The BULLETIN Office, but no connected
details have been given Of tho various de-
partments and the material which consti-
tutes the complete establishment.
The present seems an opportune mo-
rnent in which to present these details sue
cinctly, so thst 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 son tho FORMS is snug and
neat, we'll lighted and ventilated, and con-
tains an immense amount Of printing ma
| terial.
To this department we 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.
| ~ 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.. J.. Cassett Il thorough
and experienced workman. Here may be
seen our new Four ROLLER CoTTRELL
AND BABcoCK DRUM CYLINDER Press,
which cost where it stands $1,000 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 by q
TEN HORSE POWER ENGINE,
built especially for The BULLETIN, by
Messrs. Reed & Mann, and which has
given III 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 a 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 ~ Co., the work being
done under the supervision of Mr.. Charles
Slack, to whose skill and industry we are
under many obligations.
BISpERY.
| Tn ,hi. dana r,,napt NJ ~ urals Ia, a
of st. Louis No. is the superintendent.
He is a thorough master of his business,
and, we venture to say has no superior in
the United States. II any doubt the as
sertion, we recommend them to pay the
bindery visit, and they will. be shown
specimens of hand gilt work for covers of
books, etc, of great beauty and elaborate
design, from the medval style to that of
the most modern. 1t need, therefore, he
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, Il Hickock standing press, a
Hoole Paging machine, span new
Brom X 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 u
very small beginning, Printing Estab-
lishment and Book Bindery complete in
all their details, an establishment in which
every Egyptian should take pride. We
ask no bonas to maintain us but we
do ask that our people will give to US
| liberal patronage. We can dc work at as
| low figures and as well ms 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.
