PRINTING TWELVE THOUSAND
STAMPS A MINUTE

1t is fact not generally known that
the United States has at Washington,
D. c., one OF the largest and best
equipped printing plants in this or any
other country. Uncle Sam may be
safely said to hold the worlds record
as printer-not only In size OF plant,
number OF employees and extent Of out
put, but also in upto'date scientific
management, efficiency and economy.
An interesting example oS what this
sort OF modern efficiency means is a
machine which prints, gums and perto'
rates 10000 postage stamps d minute.
Figuring on an eight hour day, this Is
o production of 5,760.O0O two cent
stamps, worth $4,000, as a days
work for the two operators required
on the machine. The STAMPS are shot
out-there is no other way To express
it-at the rate of 10 feet minute
This means over SIX miles OF postage
stamps a day.
The machine eliminates 10 separate
operations required by the previous
method OF printing and has effected q
saving of 81 per cent in cost: The
whole apparatus, which is three feet
wide, twenty-five feet long and seven
feet high, is driven by a Croker
Wheeler motor. One man and q girl
are able to operate the entire machine
and the perforating device connected
with IT. Mr.. B. R. stlckney, mechant'
cal expert of the United States Bureau
of Printing and Engraving, is the in
ventor who developed the machine for
the special use OF the government
printing plant.

AsoRN BIG GRAND OPERA CO.

Apropos Of the Aborn English Grand
Opera Company's engagement at the
Grand Opera House, March Sth, it is
interesting to learn Of peculiar Gus
tom that has grown up in connection
with this organizations home. at the
Brooklyn Academy of Music where
they have been giving annual spring
seasons OF from six to twelve weeks
duration each year during the past dec
ade. It was noticed a long time ago
that many young men and women car
ried the piano scores with them to the
Aborn performance, not Ordinary IL
brettos, but complete scores contain
ing all OF the music, and It vas found
that these we're students from many
conservatories OF Greater New York.
An enterprising book seller opposite
The Brooklyn Academy started to rent
piano scores to students who could not
afford to buy them for all of the ope'
ras, some of which are quite expensive.
and he has built up a big system as an
adjunct to the Aborn operations there.
