OUR NEW EQUIPMENT.
New Cylinder Press, New Engine and
Much New Type Among the
improvements Made.

In line with the determination of the
new owners of the BANNER and RECORD
to do everything within their means to
improve the,tWo papers and to give to
the people of Cambridge and Dorches
ter county two papers. the best that
can be published in this city and coun,
tv, since taking charge of the papers,
February LIST, this year, we have added
much new material to the equipment of
the two plants, which have been con-
solidated in one building.
Realizing that it was impossible to Sc
cure a good, clean, clear impression
from worn-out type, several hundred
pounds of type were thrown aside as
useless and sold for junk. Likewise.
finding that the engines used in printing
the BANNER and RECORD were too small
for the requirements made upon them,
these were disposed of and new five
horsepower engine was put in, so as to
insure plenty of power. This engine
has more than twice as much power as
any engine heretofore used in the print
ing plants of Cam bridge and is, we I'M
derstand, the largest in use upon the
Eastern Shore of Maryland in print

Finding later that the press which
was being used was not doing satisfac-
tory work, and being determined to i'm
prove the press-work upon the papers,

would be suitable for the work, and
after making many inq uiries and giving
the matter careful attention, we have
installed one of the latest improved
Cranston newspaper presses, and al

have been made to us concerning the

In addition to this machinery which
we have installed to replace old and
much smaller machinery, we have pur-
chased quite large quantity of new
type, which we have in use, and have
also made such repairs to our other
machinery as seemed necessary, so that
we now have printing plant that is
the most complete eyer in Cambridge.
1t is the intention of the new owners
to do all that they can to make the two
papers the best that it is possible to
publish. The BANNER will be continued
and improved, as will be the RECORD,
and the two, with total circulation of
more than $500 copies, make them the,
best advertising mediums in Cambridge.
