SAVING More Millions.

Millions Of dollars will be saved the
government by the use of newly de-
vised stamp-printing machine. The
apparatus is scheduled to turn out q
mile Of postage stamps every five min
utes. 1t was designed by Benjamin
R. Stickney. There will be a saving
Of 81 per cent In the production cost
Of stamps.
This new machine, which prints,
gums, dries, perforates, and either
cuts into sheets or winds into coils
$4,000 stamps In one minute, will save
the government several million dol
lars in the cost Of stamps alone In
the courseaofS1 few years. The bu-
reau OF engraving and printing now
turns out 4O,OOO,OO0 stamps daily, but
with the use Of the new machine and
because Of the increased demand, It
will be able to manufacture many
more millions day.
