MERGENTHALER Is DEAD.
Man Who Invented the Linotype
Typesetting Machine.

Ottmar Mergenthaler, the man
who forever fixed his name and fame
by the invention Of the wonderful
linotype typesetting machine which
bears his name, is dead.
Mr.. Mergcnthaler was 45 years
old, and q native OF Wurtemburg,
Germany While he was still boy
he was apprenticed to matchmaker,
but he did not serve out his time,
owing to his desire TO escape mill
tary service in the German army.
When he landed in Baltimore his
entire capital was only $50. Going
to Washington, the young immi-
grant got work in the machine shop
OF his uncle, and it was there that
he originated and perfected the ma
chine that has revolutionized the
printing business.
The invention was somewhat slow
in being generally adopted, but
Mergenthalef lived to see the pro-
duct of his genius in universal use,
A syndicate headed by Whitelaw
Reid exploited the patents.
The first linotype machine was
built by Mr.. Mergenthaler in 1877.
This, however, was not success.
Experiments were tried and each
year better machine was built,
but in 1881 it looked as if the whole
machine was a dismal failure, and
Mr.. Mergenthaler and his partner
had a dispute, and the former sold
out his interests for $50.
In 1884 Mr. Mergenthaler begun
the manufacture of a new machine
which was practically the same as
that in use now. For years after
this other topographic companies
fought the inventor until his funds
were exhausted.
Mr.. Mergenthalcr died practically
poor man, having spent most OF
his money in attempting to defend
his patents.
