The Review has just added an
other handsome piece OF machinery
to its already complete printing
and binding departments. The new
machine drills holes in paper two
inches thick. 1t makes a clean cut
hole about as quick as you can
wink. It's used ;or drilling holes
in cards, pamphlets, order blanks,
etc. The Review now has by far
the finest job and book binding of
fee in the state, barring and ex-
cepting none.
