BASCOM FOLDER co.,
SIDNEY, o.

As usual, The True Northerner leads in improve
ments, and this time it is addition to the office of
one of the handiest machines put in. The
cut at the head of the article gives very clear idea
of the Bascom NewspapT Folder, the first machine
of the kind ever broght to Van Buren, county. 1t
just as effective it is neat and pretty. This little
machine occupies but x4 feet of floor space, and
the power it requires is not preceptible. few
rounds of ordinary Irvine OH the main shaft forms
at the rate of twenty to the minute. 1t does away
with the loss of several hours of time and back
breaking work. When the press has printed the
edition the folder has also completed it's work and
delivered its crisp neatly folded sheets to the mail
ing desks. 1t fold four folds and be changed to
any size of sheet in moment. Supplements or full
sheets be folded in the original sheet just as
easily the single sheet and think is the only
Folder now made that will do this. As we had never
seen Folder before, we anticipated some trouble,
but the inventors directions were so clear and
picit that fears took wings and 1t was running
and delivering sheets before we had time TO become
ANXIOUS. 1t is a hand-feed machine and requires no
labor worth mentioning. The gratifying increase to
subscription list during the year compelled addi
tional help the purchase of Folder, and will
never regret that chose the latter. Thirty papers
per minute be easily as twenty, but we
prefer to both press aud folder at precisely the
same rate OF speed.
Our friends are cordially invited to come and see
it work. rs

that his professed knowledge of

knew nothing about it and had nothing to

fixed by Postmaster general Wanamaker,
and the latter has declined to make any
notifications Mr. Wanamaker's rate
is 10 cents for ten words for a distances
Of 300 miles and less, and a proportionate
increase for greater distances. The
Western Union company is still con-
tinuing to take all government messages,
but ever since June they have refused
to receive any pay on the basis Of the new
rates. Ii is said that the company pro-
pose to institute suit to determine the
legal questions involved, and that it will
deny that the government has right TO
fix a rate which IS not just remuneration
for the services rendered, and will claim
that the rate fixed by Postmaster general
Wanamaker Is Of this character The
company will, ii is understood, refuse to
accept any money for telegraph service
until the court has rendered decision
No suit, however, has yet been instituted
and government officials are wondering
when the telegraph company propose TO
take action.
