Several advertisements need to be
assembled, the kinds and sizes of

foreman, and then they are put thru
the machine together to save chang

the operator about as long to change
the magazines on his machine as ii

packages that were mis-sent, or as
long as it takes the farmer to change

Composition means typesetting
and all of these things mentioned
about copy have to be completed be-
fore typesetting begins. Then comes
the reading of proofs and correcting
mistakes in the proofs. If this is
not done promptly it delays the next
process which is called imposition
or stone work-making up the col.

Liter all is completed, proofs are
taken of the different pages, and
they are examined to check against
possible mistakes of imposition. Nc
substantial changes can be made at
that stage without long delay, and
only a few moments are allowed for
the final reading and approval.

upon reading and studying, not only
printed things but reading and
studying the life and activities about
him, and upon his ideals and char
acter. 1t matters little how much
he reads or observes and studies, II
his ideals are low or lacking, and
he lacks character, his work will be
worthless after it is done. If he
does not supply good editorial mat
ter on time, his department OF the
office card will get the black tack
and the perforation.
Many advertisers find 1t hard to
write their copy. In order to DO
it successfully man must have, as
the chart indicates, purpose and
business policies. He must have ex-
ecutive ability and reach decisions
as to what he is going to do, and
lacking these things he will never dc
effective advertising and never have
copy ready when he should, unless
he can get somebody to do it fol-
him, and many successful business
men delegate that task to someone
else.
Copy written does not necessarily
mean that the paper will be printed
and delivered on time. The copy
must be delivered to the composition
or it is not getting into type forms;
therefore the delivery and assembly
of copy has place on the chart.
Assembly refers to getting enough
advertisements together to justify
the linotype operator in changing the
type magazines on the machine, tt

lose so much time that the news
