~oUR" PRINTING ORGANIZATION
A in the Past Few
Weeks May Be of Interest.

1t is a we'll established policy not
to "talk shop" in these columns but
the accomplishments of the printing
organization which publishes this
paper have been such in the past few
weeks that it is thought the public
might find some real interest in its
accomplishments.
1t is no secret that we have been
printing town reports. In fact the
Monitor office at Barton and the Pal
ladium office at North Troy, operated
under one management and one poll
cy for more than a year, printed the
town reports for ten towns IN Or
leans county as follows: Albany, Bar
ton, Charleston, Glover, Irasburg,
Jay, Lowell, Troy, Westfield and
Westmore Besides doing most of the
work on these reports our linotype
did work for three other printers,
matter of setting five reports for
them. and followed by getting out the
Barton village report.
The total pages in all these reports
was 593. If these had been made up
into one book, the book would have
been much larger than the average
volume of fiction, in fact about the
size of two ordinary novels. II the
lines of type in all these pages were
DldCSu emu " Cll4 bIAON fFC0AO ~~N~~AANN
approximately two miles in distance
and the number of individual types
required to make up these 593 pages
would approximate 1,000,0 900.
It must be remembered that in the
meantime this printing organization
has set the type for both news and
advertising and printed both the
Monitor and Palladium each week,
has attended to all its regular job
printing and also issued for the Or
leans County Farm Bureau, its
monthly news bulletin containing
eight pages.
This remarkable record could not
have been made except for the won
derful linotype machine which is at
the command of this organization and
the willingness and ability of the
members of the organization to strain
every nerve and work overtime in
one harmonious family to accomplish
the grand result, and the one who
signs this article takes this occasion
to extend bit of credit where it be-
longs and will name the persons and
| the capacities in which they serve
this printing organization.

1t might be said in this connection
that Immediately preceding the town
report rush the organization issued
for .the c. S. Phillips Co., of Glover,
! taxidermists, a 24-page taxidermy
catalog which is conceded to be one
| of the finest pieces of work ever
printed in Orleans county. There are
many halftone cuts in this catalOg, it
was printed in brown ink and would
be a credit to many city printing
office
The Monitor Press takes pride in
| being a member of the United Ty-
pothetae of America, an international
association of master printers. Only
printing organizations which attain a
certain standard can belong to this
association and we take pride in being
one of a half-dozen printing Offices in
Vermont which belong and especial

eastern Vermont to hold membership
in this association of printing offices.
This organization has a system of
cost accounting which is so complete
that the federal government has rec
ognized and adopted it in many of
it's departments.
The organization has recently
adopted a trade mark for the use of
its members and soon begins a ma
tional advertising campaign to place
it before the public Much of our
printing in the future will bear this
trade mark, it will be familiar in
more ways than one. Here is the
mark:
