out from the rim and hold, exactly in

berg. who had como de Rhine

carpenter shop In Lentx. Ho whit
tlod some little blocks and actually
made an alphabet. Then he rigged

would look something like our let
ter press Of today. He arranged
his blocks In order. put some ink
on them. also piece OF paper. ana
then screwed his press down. That
was called printing. Old Gutenberg
made bowling success OF the
racket. and his head became so
swollen that he really snubbed the
king one day. The king overlooked
II. however. for he had an idea
what kind OF fellows printers would
be. Well. finally they got the print
