A FEW WORDS ABOUT OURSELVES.

On the ground that II is right that we should show
those who may not be aware Of the extent of our
business, vhat we are capable of. We may be par
doned for a few words about ourselves.
We have been successfully engaged in general pub
fishing here for nearly twenty years The buildings
that we occupy-tbree in number-were built ~
ourselves, and are now owned by ourselves, are OF
brick and stoae, situated on opposite corners, and
five and six stories high. We have twenty print
ing presses fifteen of which are double presses and
alone capable Of turning out a. much work thirty
ordinary, rs'cass presses the outlay for the above
exceeded three hundred thousand dollars cash With
out any exception is the most extensive COM
modous and best appointed subscription publishing
house in the world. Our employees number nearly
Eve hundred. For the past six years we have run
our printing works more than half the time day and
night Our cash receipts run high as from one
hundred and fifty TO one hundred and seventy thou
sand dollars per month regular business ofcourse
this campaign business is an extra and will largely
increase eur cash receipts.
For the past five years we hSve paid over FIVE hun
dred thousand dollars for postage alone, over l00
600 per year on average; this is q larger amount
than is paid TO- postage by any other firm In the
world. Beyond monthly accounts which are always
settled in full the 10Th of each month, we owe no
man. The capital provided aside from that invest
ed in our printing Office, is three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, which enables US to purchase our
