SOME NEW MACHINERY
which Has Lately Been Added to the
Journal Job Room.

II has from the 1rst been the policy of the
present proprietors of the Journal to secure
the very latest and most improved machinery
that they could find. They believe that first
clas. machinery is not only economical in
the long run, Tor firm but it also enables
them to do better work in much less time and
thu. secure larger patronage. Their increase
Of lob business during the past year has been
90 great that they have been forced to secure
more rapid and modern machinery
In order to keep pace with il. This ma
ebjuery has all been the most desirable that
could be found. No expense was spared to
secure. not merely good machinery, but the
hat machinery that could anvs here be found
in the American market. Early last fall the
nrcprieior. Of the Journal determined TO
change two Of the presses and the steam
uaper cutter in their Job department for
others Of more modern and satisfactory
type These presses did excellent work but
The proprietors % the Journal felt rhst ths re
we're many and valuable improvements Of
recent invention which they did not possess
They we're rot prejadiced in favor of any
pre-. but determined to take plenty Of
time to look the whole field over
carefully and secure the best that
the market afforded. With this purpose
they opened correspondence with large
number Of firms and later on visited a large
number Of the leading printing establish
nent. in Boston where they had an oppor,u-
nifty to see at work all the various kinds of
6r.t class presses on the market. The re-
,ult Of their Investigations convinced them
that for 6ne card, folder, bill head. pro-
gramme. and other small work there was no
press in the country equal to the Perfected
,rlbution, delicate impression, and rapid exc
emit, n all combined to render il a machine !
of superior merit Satisfied that this was
tu.t what they wanted they hal one Of
these presses set up in their job de-
partmpnt and the magnificent work which il 1
has done has more than confirmed them in the /
high opinion they had formed of it, Recently |
A fine new Acme paper cutter, which they are
convinced is the best machine for this work /
ever invented was added to this department /
in place Of the old cutter.
The latest machine 20 be added to this epart-
ment was a modern improved Colts Armory /
Press" which was placed in position Tues
day. This is designed to do grade of
work midway between the "Prouty" and the .
cyln Ter press. It seems to them that perfec-
ton in job press comes as near to
being realized in this machine as it /
is possible for it to be. Compact, noise
less and rapid it turns of quality of work !
which can be equalel by few and excelled /
BY no press which has ever been invented.
With this magnificent equipment in machinery
and with a large amount of new type contain
ing the latest faces the Journal Job room
can do any and alt kinds Of job work in the
best possible manner and with rapidity The
department Indicate. that the public sppre-
ciat,s the great improvements which have
been added to it and the fine quality of the
work which goes out from il. Promptness,
square dealing and first class work, have
always been the motto there and by the
continued practice of them still greater in
crease Of patronage is confidently expected
in the year To come.
