Sans publishing business. BY far the
major portion OF it is in the occasional
publications, the great number of sci
entific, economic and congressional doc
uments which are daily turned IN for
printing. There are over a thousand
of these. which are we'll enough known
throughout the country to have regular
mailing lists. But there is scarcely an
office in the government which in the
course of year fails to turn out at
least one publication of some sort.
The Department of Agriculture makes
the greatest use of printers ink, it's
widely varied publications alone circu-

1t is peculiar fact that bulletins deal

most popular publications issued by the
Department of Agriculture.
In addition to these occasional leaflets
and paper-bound pamphlets there are
the more pretentious volumes which
come from the bindery. Some of these.
such as certain of the publications of
the Smithsonian Institution, are beauti

Some twenty freight cars unload their
burdens each week at the paper ware

And this white paper is turned into print

rate of about twenty tons per day. The
mailing of this tonnage was fair-sized
job to drop suddenly upon Supt. Donath.
who, with about thirty assistants. had
been doing a comfortable little publication
business of about million cories year;
it simply multiplied his volume of bust
ness by fifty, so that weeks work now

office before did in a year.

the mailing lists were made up. and the

Office collection cart. From the post Of
flee there was another haul to the rail
way station.
So, with this issue of twenty tons per
day. there was a triple haul daily, which
the economy commission proposed to
eliminate by doing the mailing directly
