WILL SPEED UP PRINTING
OF u. S. POSTAGE STAMPS
Machine Invented by WASHINGTON
Mechanic and Designer Utilized
by Government Bureau.

Printing of postage stamps will be
materially speeded up by the utiliza-
ton of new stamp printing machine
invented by Benjamin r. Stickney of
this city. expert mechanic and de-
signer of the bureau of engraving
and printing.
Director James L. Wilmeth of the
bureau said today that the new ma
chine. which is now in operation, has
two main features-an enlarged ca :
pacity and a "two-way" perforation.
This latter will allow the stamps
to be perforated all around at one
time. instead of it being necessary to
run them through the press several
times. The stamps will be run in rolls,
and thus the handling is reduced to a
minimum.
Director Wilmeth said added sani-
tary features were small, as stamps
at present are very sanitary, but few
hands touching them before they
reach the hands of the customer.
