by long odds of any feature or i'm
proyement added to- the printing busi-
ness in 100 years. The patent papers
read that the process Is for the print
ing OF two or more colors with one
impression This was the effort Of
the best printers and preSsmen for
years and years. but the success
. achieved. till Mr.. Taylor went into the
field. amounted To- scarcely anything at
, all. His process Is perfect. so entirely
satisfactory In every way that IL occu-
, pies the field everywhere with scarcely
"A rival. Such papers as the great New
York and Chicago dailies. the Exam
liner OF San Francisco and the lesser
publications in many American cities
. and towns use the Taylor process IL not
every day. at least for their Sunday
editions. The Journal OF New YoTk
and the Examiner were perhaps the
first papers To- give half tones in col
; ors. Both gave. during the war with
Spain. pictures by Remington and 9th
. lers in the correct colors and'it was all
done with the single impression. The
wonderful machinery for the perform
,ance OF this work Is an attachment
that can De added To- the class ot
presses used in the leading establish
ments. The most artistic development
OF the process Is in the Job Offices and
the Offices OF the high class literary
land artistic publications. To these
concerns the process opens a new field
D making possible just exactly what vas
= most desired, but so entirely despaired
OF for years. The discovery Is all the
more remarkable when IL Is known
that Mr.. Taylor is not a printer at all.
4 In fact his apprenticeship as a me-
lchanic was served with his father in a
concern OF moderate proportions. Mr.
Taylor does not claim anything for
e himself. saying that he only carried

= TO him. He IS enjoying in Honolulu a
thorough rest.
