Our Liberty card and circular

machine has taken the first premium
at the worlds fairs at London, in 1862,
and at Paris in 1867. 1t was manu-

pacity is 1000 impressions per hour, by
foot treadle or steam. 1t has a special
arrangement for printing cards. by
means of which cards are dropped in

combination of principles in this pOpu-

The Arson Hardy paper cutter is
the best machine that can be obtained

office.
We purchase all our cardboard from
first hands, which comes in large sheets,
embracing all colors. These boards are

ingenuity. Its form is so remarkably |

Thus il will be seen from the above |
description that the EAGLE printing
establishment is most complete, and |
with any demand that |
will be likely to be made upon it.
In addition to this new machinery
we have within three weeks added a
large variety of late-style type, so that
we are prepared to please the most fas-
tidious, even up into the choice colors,
fine gold and silver bronzes and high
prices, as we employ none but first

find no rest in the EAGLE Office.
We invite everybody to call and see
our presses work. We will take pleas

are especially invited to call on Mon
day or Thursday forenoons, when our
power press is running.
In view of the many facilities which
our completed Office offers for the exc
cution of all kinds of work with celer-

orders from this and adjoining counties
for every variety and description of Job
work, assuring all that it will be our
