The New Label.

This issue of the JOURNAL reaches
its subscribers by a new and up-to-date
style of addressing, necessitated by the
constantly growing subscription list.
This does away with the tedious pro-
cess OF addressing each paper by hand
as has always been done in the past
The machine used is known as a label
mailing machine and greatly simpli-
fies that important branch ofthe news
paper business. In several ways is
this style of labelling superior to the
old wav of handwriting. The sub
scriber will appreciate the fact that at
any Time by referring to the label it
can be seen at a glance just how their
subscription account stands. For
