BIG PRESSES.
The Boston Journal Is TO Have the
Largest printing Machines Made.

From the Journal Of May Z7.l 8 "a
The Boston journal has made con
tract with Messrs. II. Hoe a. Co. Of
New York for two new presses. The
plans have been prepared especial!
for the journal, and as they embody
every known improvement and are to
be carried out by the greatest pres
manufacturers in the world, the result
viii be an enormous addition to ou
present mechanical facilities.
Without going too far into techni-
cal description, we may say that Press
Number One viii be three-roll,
three-decker. double-width machine,
built to take As stereotype plates and
to use three folders. Press Number
Two will be a duplicate of Number
One except that it will be Of single
width. will take "a plates and vii have
but one folder. Ii is designed for
quick starts and short editions, and
will work tremendously in every re-
spect with its great companion ma
chine, which will do It's best work on
long runs when great quantities OF
papers are required for immediate
use.
Press Number Two will print,
paste, fold and count per hour 24,000
four, six, eight. ten or twelve-page
papers; or - 600 sixteen, twenty or
twenty-four-page papers. Press Num-
Der One win print, paste, fold and
count per hour $4,000 four, six or
eight-page papers; or $4,000 Ten or
twelve-pJge papers; or "a, 900 fourteen,
sixteen, twenty or tWcnty-four-page
papers. The joint product Of the two
new presses win De: 4. G.. or pages.
10000 per hour; 10 or II pages, -
600; rs, 20 or - pages, $4,000.
The best press Ia Boston to-day, the
Hoe Quadruple. such as the journal
uses, viii print bur $4,000 Fights or
24,000 tens or twelyes. and the larger
sizes IN proportionately smaller NUM-
bers. The new Press Number One
Will. therefore. print 80 per cent more
tens and twelyes than any other press
ever before brought into New Eng
land.
AIessrs Hoe & co. have built here
toiore but one press approaching III
size on power the new journal Press
Number one and that Is in the Office
OF the New York Herald. Another
similar press is under construction for
the New ork Herald. but we belivc
that when oar Number One is up and
running il win surpas, IN size. prod
net and quality Of work any printing
ever made.
As the construction Of these presses
will require several months and the
journal has immediate need Of IN
creased facilities, we have arranged /
with the Messrs. Hoe Il Co.. to put at |
once into our press room the best press |
available. which will re-
main until the two new presses are
ready for delivery.
No newspaper increases SO enor-
mously it, mechanical outfit. no
newspaper deliberately adds to its
plant machinery representing a valae
Of nearly 100000. except under the
pressure of present need and the IN
'entive Of prospective usefulness and
profit IL is so with the Journal.
which has increased 30 rapidly and 50
largely in circulation that il needs not
lnly the best machinery in sight but
he best that can be made.
In this time Of growth and prosper
~ the Journal does not forget To
hank is readers and its advertisers
or their marked appreciation of its
'iioris, which alone makes its present
expansion necessary and possible.
