Making Postal Cards.

The manufacture Of postal cards is
an interesting process. From the paper
mill millions of sheets, 30x5O inches in
size, are brought to the pressroom and
printed upon presses having a capacity
of 1900 impressions per hour. The
sheets, each containing ninety cards,
makes the capacity of the presses 1O0,-
600 an hour, or 100000 a day. The
new forms will, however, contain Ito
plates, and the presses, which are to
be put u, in Maine, will have greater
hourly capacity; hence the daily output
can be increased The sitter. which
cuts the cards into strips of ten cards
each, is operated by one man. After
the large cards are slitted into strips of
ten cards each they are taken to the
cutting machines, which are operated
by women. Here they are fed through
the cutting machines, three strips at a
time, for eight times, and then one
strip, making in all twenty-five cards
which are dropped in bundles and
banded by two girls, who occupy seats
near the machines. Twenty of these
packages of twenty-five cards are
placed in pasteboard box; these boxes
next so to three young men, whose
duty it is to put them iii wooden boxes;
the cards are stored away in the large
fireproof vault to await shipment to
the various postofices.
