The Folding, FASTING and Cutting
Machine.

Machine.
This machine, one of the very few of
it's kind, is wonderful and almost
perfect piece of mechanism. There are
many other folders, but outside of
those which are a part of the press,
known as the Webb perfecting press,
costing many thousands of dollars, this
one has but few equals.
1t takes the paper directly from the
tiy-board, cuts, pastes and folds it into
the shape it is taken from the office.
1t is indeed complicated piece of
machinery-so complex in fact that
we have had it on our hands for sever
al weeks without being able to use it,
owing to ignorance on our part of it's
operation. Were it not for the con-
sumate skiIlo of W. A. Osborne of New
York, we might still he aboring under
the dilemma ofa "white elephant"
The folder as sent out from the fac
tory was not exactly adapted to the
position it occupied in this office, but

machinists, soon located and remedied

Our Separate Horizontal Engine.
If there is one thing that retards the
printing of a paper is limited power.
This has been obviated as regards this
office, by the purchase of one of
Stevens ten horsepower horizontal
engines. 1t is one of the best ever
made, every part being Of the latest
and most improved make. Heavy and
strong-it will run every press in the
office with ease. The motion of the
engine is attended with but very little
noise and can always be relied upon,
which feature is not always one of the
several "gas engines now in much
use throughout the State. The engine
is within ten feet of the press and the

capacity, the additions-all improve
ments-have been without number.
In 1874 half of the large Tyler block
was purchased and the office moved in-
to the ground floor from the old quar-
ters in the Ludeman block on Perry
street.
The NORTHWEST building is three
story brick, 100 feet in depth and "a
foot front with French plate glass.
The Office occupies the entire ground
floor, a very large room indeed, hut
not too large to hold the complete
printing outfit of the NORTHWEST
The editorial room is in the frontpaFt
occupying a space of 24x30 In this
room is also our large supply of print
ing paper, stationery, etc, etc., always
kept on hand for our job trade.
Our job department is as completely
equipped as any office in the State, the
presses and workmen being first class
in every particular. A description of
these presses, as well as other machin-
cry would be tedious, and then again
might not be intel'igible to the aver
age reader, hence we refrain from go
ing into minute details.
The Campbell, Two Revolution In
termediate Cylinder Press.
This press was purchased several
weeks since and is probably the finest
press ever found outside a city office.
1t is one of the Campbell family known
as the Intermediate TwO-Revolution
Cylinder Press. 1t occupies floor
space of 12xS feet, the highest point of
the feed board being only A feet and 8
inches, which makes it very easy in
placing the paper in position as well
as convenience to the one feeding

The foIm rollers are in pain sight

1t is supplied with table distribution
of ink, which is vastly superior to the
old style of rack and screw distribu.
tony yet in use by some builders. The
whole iuking apparatus is directly be-
Meath the fly table, thus removing it
entirely from sight-out of the way OF
all dust. The impression is such that
it can be adjusted to a perfect nicety.
The whole rear of the press is entirely
free from machinery, giving the fore
man full scope to make changes in the
forms when necessary.
All gearing is accurately cut with
new and improved machines, with
cutters made on scientific principles.
It's capacity is absolutely without an
equal in the market when it's cost js
considered.

The Stationary Tubular Boiler:
Notwithstanding the many improv-
ed stationary boilers, the Tubular boil-
er is the most popular, and deservedly
so. 1t is economical in fuel, readily
set, accessible and safe. The best
brands of rivets and plates are used in
it's construction. Combining with
such materials, workmanship and pro-
portions, we have one of the finest
boilers of it's kind in existence.
The boiler room is on the west side
of the building with tubular connec-
tion through the brick wall, thus all
heat and dirt is removed to the out
side and away from the manipulations
of the press.
For neatness, design and effectual
work, our motive apparatus is GER
tainly without superiors.

STEPS IN PROGRESS THAT MAKE THE
NORTHWEST ONE OF THE OLDEST,
LARGEST, AND CHEAPEST COUN-
TRY NEWSPAPERS IN OHIO !
Description, with Illustrations, ofthe
improvements, and Brief History.

Newspaperdom practically first made
its appearance in Napoleon, Sept. s,
1852, on which date the first impress
sion of the DEMOCRATIC NORTHWEST
was sent to every household in Henry
county, which households, by the way,
were very limited in number. "Prac-
tically," we say, for sometime in lS45
a small sheet, but very little larger
than a sheet of letter paper, was
printed by Martin Schenk. It's ex-
istence was very brief, expiring several
months later.
For the NORTHWEST, however, fate
seems to have reserved longer and
more successful career. From it's
birth, partly through the business
sagacitv exercised by it's owners, and
more so in the grand old Democratic
principles eXpOunded through it's edi-
torial columns, it has ever carried
with it an air of a resident. It's in
terests from '52 have been identical
with those of Henry county and Ma
poleon, either for veal or for woe. The
result has been that it's progress has
been discernible with that of the
county in each succeeding generation.
The newspaper has become one Of
the chief educators in America, where
those belonging to even the lowest
strata, are being educated up to think
ing and acting on their own RESPONSE
bility. dumb driven cattlen of the
genus homo, are fast becoming extinct
in the Americas, and it is mainly
through the press that this enlighten-
ment is fast approaching. The news
paper, whether it 5e a 16th-sheet
dodger with all the righteousness at
tendant, or the monstrous metropoli-
tan paper, is the true index of the
progress, civilization and intelligence
of the community in which it is pub
Iished, and it's files are archives, in
which the condition, morally, intel
lectually and socially, at the period OF
IS publication, and the progression of
it's people, are but foot prints.
The printing Office is now as essen
tial as the school room or any mercan-
tile business. It has, in q measure,

bard, the latter, VIM. H., doing the
editorial work. On the Sth day of
May of the same year the paper was
enlarged and converted into a 5-col-
umn quarto, and two years later it be-
came 6-column quarto, which it has
since remained-a size that generally
answers the needs of the average
country newspaper.
After the death of Mr.. Hubbard,
which occurred in May, 1872, Thomas
Coughlin, the senior partner, formed a
partnership with his brother Michael,
but sold to Messrs. Orwig 4 Wisler.
The junior partner retired in 1875, and
| the remaining partner, Luther L.
Orwig became sole editor and propre-
tor. Since this date the ownership has
not changed.
| The NORTHWEST has we'll earned its
present postion-one of the leading
country journals in the State and an
accredited mouth piece of the Demo-
cratic party. 1t has had it's trials and
tribulatiOns and passed through all the
vicissitudes of childhood and man
hood. 1t has had measles, whooping
cough aud scarlet fever.

On March 25th, 1859, it passed
through that destructive element to
which sinners finally adjourn, and on
the following morning, everything
consumable was found converted into
ashes. The metal of the old Smith
press, upon which the paper was
printed, was carted off to a foundry,
where it was cast into a cannon and
became a campaign and Fourth of Ju-
ly thunderer.
After having killed and mutilated
five or six men, it exploded at po-
titical meeting held at Chroninger's
school house, in Liberty township, in
the fall of '72, fortunately causing no
injury.
The office was rebuilt and equipped
but passed through another fiery or
deal in 1869 and complete new outfit
required.
Like the ghost of Bauquo, however,
it would not down nor be downed. In
stead, after each destruction it bios
somed forth with renewal of vim and
spice, and an increase in circulation
and advertising patronage.
In regard to machinery, Mr.. Haag
introduced the first ''jobber"-a small
alligator press and soon followed
with full sized Gordon.
After the fire of 1869, CoughIin &
Hubbard put in Potter cylinder and
much improved the office both in news
and job printing.

of support contained less than one col
umn of advertisements and a circula-
ton resembling the shadows in the
cleaning. Sickly as the infant was,
with surroundings of a decidedly
glowering and hostile nature, it grew
and was soon enlarged to a 6-cOlumn
folio. Mr.. Hollabaugh continued in
it's control until 1854, when Thomas
s. G. Morrison bought the plant and
was able by much hustling to increase
the circulation as well as sport nine
columns of advertising.
He continued in the ownership of
the paper up to his death, which oc-
Cured March 81, 1864.
After his death the publication was
continued by John M. Haag until the
4th of May Of the same year, when a
temporary suspension was had.
On the 2Sth day of the same month
the office was sold at administrators
sale, and purchased by Mr.. Haag, who
reassumed control on the 10th of June,
1854, and on the Oath of August en-
larged it to seven column folio.
On November 16, 1865, the business
management passed into the hands of
Messrs Adams and Pomeroy, Mr.. Haag
remaining in editorial control. Mr..
Adams retired December %, 1865,
when a partnership was formed be-
tween Haag and Pomeroy, by whom
the paper was published until July,
1866. Rensselaer, Hudson purchased
Pomesoy's interest and the nublica-
tion continued by Haag & Hudson.

It's place in political parties and

through which it's viewsan doctrine

orators are favored with an audience
of 5000 people, yet how many editors
in Ohio are daily talking to hearers of

available, should be seized upon and
in turn given the people, that they
may enjoy the best, and that too, at

In this the NORTHWEST has a record,
which no one need repudiate, and the
present is very indicative that the fu-
ture will be even more piethoric with
success and the good will of it's pa

an axiom as old as the hills, or
nearly so. We commend that

is also well to remember that
