WE CAN NOW.

as they call those who can take a
machine to pieces, pile it up in a
heap and then rebuild it and have it
work perfectly.
How We Financed it
After we ordered our new limo
type, and before it arrived, we told
our readers something about the
trade we had agreed upon with the
manufacturers, and how we expected
to get by with it. 1t had such
strange disappointments both good
and bad, that all of our partners in
the newspaper might like to know
about it, so here is the story:
By making long series of tests
we found that we needed the new
style of linotype worse than we
needed anything else, and that be-
fore we could handle our advertising
patronage satisfactorily or turn the
paper into tri-weekly, we had to
have it. The new machine and the
trimmer wanted with it, would cost
us $4,000 and we could turn in the
old machine for liberal allowance
and we could get per cent discount
oAA eSAA CAAeSe W. Poio Ill CClCll duu We
could have monthly payments on the
balance. Before We placed the order
Miss Christensen estimated that we
could collect enough money during
the spring on subscription to enable
us to pay $500 in cash on the deal,
so we should have to sign notes for
$500. The potato market collapsed
and a great many people who had ex-
pected to pay their subscription bills
out OF potato money could not pay
at all till they raised crop, so there
was mutual disappointment as to
subscription money. We pushed the
advertising business all we could,
and the advertisers responded roy
ally. For every 500 we could earn
or collect from any source by the
time the new machine was installed,
we could get credit of $105 on the
new outfit, so we sent bills to all our
customers who owed us anything,
the subscribers who might
be embarrassed by the potato failure
mentioned. These folks responded
so nicely, and the advertisers paid

FORTY TESTS OF ABILITY
REASONS WE COULD A TRLWEEKLY AND WHY
WE

When news or advertising matter
is ready to be cast in type it goes
ION the hook" In the printing
house parlance that means that it
has been approved and is ready to be
set in type, if it is news matter, or
if it is advertising matter it is ready
to be marked with rings and dashes
to indicate the kind and size of type
to be used for the different parts.
In the picture the operator is read
ing the copy and lingering the key
board. The type is assembling, a line
at time, on the holder at his left.
The machine is combination of
typewriter, type foundry and planer,
and is made up of 5000 pieces. Our
new linotype bears about the same
relation to our old one that a six
shooter does to the old-style single
shot pistol. 1t has many different
loads and the magazine revolves
or feeds in such way that different
type-faces can be shot thru the same
barrel so to speak. The new one

up to the size one-third of an inch
across from top to bottom of the
letter. When we had the old ma
chine we used one operator, but since
we have the new one we have day
operator and a night operator.
A few months ago we told our
readers how we managed to get the
new operator. How Miss Alice Jones
who was hand typesetter in the Of
flee wanted to learn to operate
linotype. She could go to the limo
type company's school at San Fran
cisco and take three-months course,
which would be free except her ex-
penses, but instead we arranged for
her to take the course of study |
and practice on the machine
in our office, and if she succeeded |
1t would be some help to us, and if |
she failed it would not be so ex-
pensive for her Well, she has been !
practicing about six months now,
and she is succeeding. She is going
to be an operator, but probably not
full-fedged, or neutrality-suspicious.

The PRESS ROOM AND MAILING FLOOR

This picture shows the view looking in another
direction from the showing the linotype and
trimmer. The big fellow is just turning the power
on the cylinder press, and the lady is feeding the
machine that folds the newspapers. The other man
is operating the addressing machine.
The old-time printers usually said that busy
printing office always looked mussy, and that when
it was cleaned up and free from litter it was
sign that business was dull. We are operating on
the theory that it pays to keep things neat and clean
all the time. Note the ragholder at the right,
suspended from the bracket on the wall A print
ing house uses p good many rags to wipe up ink
and grease every day, but at our shop, the soiled
rags 60 into the furnace as soon as the janitor
arrives at the close of the work-day Rags saturated
with ink, oil and gasoline, lying on the floor over

smoke before morning Our soled rags are held

the left of the rag bag The white spot in the ceiling

up so promptly that the amount we
should have to borrow grew smaller
and smaller. We had done some
figuring and found that if we could
borrow that $500 of the local banks
and pay them interest it would be
better than losing the 5 per cent
discount and paying the per cent
| interest on the deferred. payments to
the factory, so we engaged to bor-
row $500 from each of the three
local banks or SO much thereof as we
might need. 1t seemed as if every
body wanted to patrOniZe us, and
everybody wanted us to have what
money was due us, and we got in
terested in cutting down the amount
we should have to borrow We got
up scheme to issue special
booster edition to boost the Broad
way picnic, the Broadway anniver-
sary and dance and the firms that
had moved into the new buildings
erected the same year by the Broad
way bunch. 1t pleased the public
and the advertisers; and helped bring
about the extension of Broadway |
thru all the new sections to make it |
a straight road to Pocatello. Our
whole crew worked early and late
on the EDITION, we made some more
money, and by the time the new ma
chimes were installed we had COL
lected enough so we lacked only
$40 of having enough to pay all
cash and get the discounts. The
subscribers can thank the advertisers
for giving us big boost toward get
ting the new machine and improving
the paper.
When the employees saw how
things were going they scraped all
their own money together and
handed it to our treasurer Miss
Christensen, and that cut it down to
just 500 that we had to borrow.
We filled out three notes for 1894
each, and sold one to each bank, I
much to their amusement, for {
they enjoyed it when they found /;
we were getting along so we'll, and [
that the employees were stalking the {
employer to improve the equipment |
needed to make better newspaper.
