The Model Printing and BOOkbindIng
Establishment af hemphis


There il no reason whatever that
manufacturing of all kinds should not
be as well executed in the city OF Mem
phi5 as in New York, Boston, st. Louis,
Chicago, or any other large city OF the
country. The only prerequisites TO in
sure success is the use OF iirst-Class mate
rial, the procuring OF machinery with |
all the latest improvements and the en-
plOyment Of the best skilled artisans, |
who thoroughly know their business.
This problem has been successfully solved |
by ;. Z. TOOf, the enterprising proprietor |
of the
"FRANKLIN
jOb-printing house and bOOkbindeTy, on |
Court street. From small beginnings, |
owing to strict personal attention TO |
business, combined with flrst-class work |
turned out in every department, the |
establishment has grown to mammoth |
proportions, and is q credit to the indie |
fstigable proprietor and the city Of
Memphis.

ing, and everything about it is most adj |
miTably arranged. The fonts of type |
have been selected with due regard to |

that the prices for work will be found TO |
be in c0nsOnance with the times.
THE BOOKBINDERY,
This may be termed the model portion
Of the establishment, if cOmparisOns were
in order, as the work which emanates
from the bindery-rOOms each day will
compare most favOrably, if it does not
excel that of the finest produced in any
city i'll the country. The material used,
Of every description, IS the best in the
market, and
THE PAPER-ROOM
alone is well worthy of visit, as il con,
talns specimens Of papers seldom if ever
