HoIme and three other men, all health seekers and the Press is with them both fad and business. The pictures in the In- land Printer show not only the shop" but the staff taking it's daily sun bath, attired in fewer clothes even than prize fighters wear in battle. For be it known the primary object of the staff is to get well. That happy situation accomplished the staff would be willing 10 work on even common ordinary newspapers the rest of it's days.
 The description of the layout is taken from a booklet printed by the Press for the edifcation of the stock holders in MT. Holme and from it the following is taken:
 The snop is built against the side of a wagon shed on a 'lunger's ranch" three miles out from Phoenix It used to be a chicken house but when Frank Holme got possession of an old Wash ington hand press, he got his eye on the chicken house and proceeded to have it revised. amended and re-enacted," as the legislators say. by the addition .

 The booklet says The Bandar Log
 Press marks an epoch in the history of printing" and continuing describes it's former history and says:
 But to the serious O5server-thiE. of course, means you, reader-the most lheartrending part of the whole busi
