AUGUSTUS 0OK.BINDERY.
Brief History Of II and Account Of the Extea-
sive Business.

Nearly everybody has seen the bound
documents that are yearly issued from the
various State departments and perhaps a
few notes regarding the place where these
Thousands of volumes are bound
will be of some interest. The
establishment of a bindery for binding
the State documents dates from
1854, when Hartford & Smith began this
business. The little plant was then located
in wooden building where the six-story
block of the Z. c. Allen Company now
stands. The business at that period was
not half what it is at the present time.
In 1875 the firm changed from Hartford
& Smith to E. II. w. Smith Co., and an
other change occurred in 1880, when it be-
came, as it is now, Smith and Reid. From
the wooden building the plant was moved
into the KENNEBEc JOURNAL building and
eight years ago the present quarters were
opened. To go back a little to a few his
toric notes. Mr.. Hartford died in the
sping of 1876, and Mrs. Hartford, not
caring to remain in charge, disposed of her
interests to her nephew, E. H. W. Smith
About this time a irst-class workman
was needed, and this firm heard of W. H.
Reid, who was in St. John, N. B. Mr..
Reid, now of the firm of Smith & Reid, was
born in St. John, N. B and has been in
the book binding business since he was IA
years of sge; is a skilled workman, and
can readily do any part of the work. He
was telegraphed for and one of the men,
bers of the firm wen. to St. John to see
him. He was engaged to come here and
take charge of the work. In 1880 the firm
became Smith & Reid.
The binding of all the books issued by
the State is done by this firm, and has
more than doubled since the first
date named. The number of hands
employed is six men and four women, and
sometimes Is of the latter. The regular
force is the most competent to be procured
and has been engaged for long time.
When the printed sheets are received they
are doubled, then cut in two, folded and
stacked away till the report is completed.
Then the sheets are gathered into books,
pressed, sewed or stitched, as the case may
require. For the heavy cutting a special
cutter, made for this express purpose, is
used. The machinery is composed of two
cutting machines, sewing machine, wire
stitcher, two backing machines, perforator,
paging machine, ruling machine, and all
the other equipments necessary
for first class bindery, such as this. The
power required to drive this machinery is
furnished by electricity.
The volumes bound in this establishment
consist of all kinds and sizes. The work
turned out is neat and creditable. Gilt
edged works and decorated covers are as
much feature of the business as the plain
binding. Mr.. Reid, who is the most promi-
nently identified with the business, is
bright, energetic business man, and thor
oughly familiar with every branch of book
binding.
