The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1883-12-12

The above is cut of our new improved
Country Campbell Printing Press, conced-
ed to be one of the best, if not the very
best ever invented for job and newspaper
Offices where the circulation does not ex-
ceed few thousand. Twothirds of all
the fine color and label work of the pres
ent time is printed on these machines.
The company has just put up one for
the Elyria Constitution, one for Mr.. Writ,
publisher of the Poultry Nation, Elyria,
one for the Oberlin Review and one in
Circleville, Chillicothe, Westerville and
Cleveland, all within few weeks, and the
manufacturers say that they are selling
more of this make than are sold of any
other patent.
These presses are the simplest built,
give absolutely perfect register and are
unequalled for strength and durability.
On it we can do every class of work equal
to any city Office from full sheet poster
to the finest commercial job. We have
added this and other facilities to keep pace
with the growing demands of the village
in this department We shall try to make
prices satisfactory, but every reasonable
man win recognize the difficulty OF COM
peting with city offices furnished with
rapid and high priced machinery and
where work can be done by taking advan-
tage of every facility and in large quaint
ties. To meet them entirely would be
like expecting dealer in small town
whose trade would not exceed 5000 TO
$4,000 a year to compete with a city
wholesale house whose trade amounts to
as many hundred thousands annually, or,
in other words, to retail goods at wholesale
prices. We intend, however, that our
prices shall be so low that it would not
pay TO send any ordinary job out of town
And now our readers and the business
men Of the village, should understand
that a newspaper and job printing office
in town is a real advantage in building up
its interests Of every character and that If
they would have them advanced by what
power and influence it can exert they
must each contribute their fair share of
patronage to make 1t selfsustaining; that
they have duty 10 the printer as well as
he to the people; that the profits OF a
newspaper Office of the circulation OF the
EsrKRPR1sE, are not so large that ye edi-
tor and publisher can afford to invest capi-
tai and give his time to its management
unless sustained by the job work md ad-
vertising Of our own citizens and that
they cannot on their own account afford TO
send job amounting to four or five dol
lars to Cleveland because they can save
twenty-five or fifty cents or dollar and
are going down and can do It as well as not.
The more extensive the business the more
cheaply it can be done and large estab-
lishments employing thirty or forty hands
can do work for less price than one en-
ploying three or four. Especially is this
the case where their presses are run by
boys and girls under the supervision of a
foremen, whose average wages amount to
little, If any more per week, than we pay
for the same work per day, and where
their composition is done on the same
plan at equally low rates. II man is
only intent on accumulating the almighty
dollars in the most rapid manner possible,
without regard to the symmetrical growth
of his town in its social, moral, intellec-
tual and business interests he will likely
go to Cleveland not only for his printing
but he viii also ignore every other trade
or home industry and everything that does
not minister to his own selfshness. There
