Tao Your Books.

Many book lovers with large and
precious libraries keep small book
with the name of each book lent, the
date and the borrower After a rea-
sonable time, when the book has been
lent. 1t is no discoartesy to write and
remind the borrower that you miss
your book friend and are waiting to
welcome it home. Get bookplate.
That is the very best way to tag your
books. And don't forget that the gold
en- rule applies In books as in other
phases of life. and return the ones
you borrow yourself.

1 ceived and installed new Grams
I ton No 81 press. This change
is made necessary IN order 10 en-
large our range of press work
and enable us to turn out a num-
Der of jobs we have not heretofore
been able to handle. The Grams
ton was received May 3, and we
have been at work about twenty
days erecting, assembling and
getting ready to install it in
place of our old Diamond press.
1t is now all in order and ready
to hook on to the engine, and we
think there is very little doubt
about our being able to print our
edition of June 5 on the new
press. And thus within AZ years
we shall have taken the Chroni-
Gle successfully through three
stages of old Washington hand
press, Diamond Cylinder and
Cranston press.
We now have our Diamond cy-
Under press for sale, and it will
be sold at bargain to a quick
conner who will take it off our
hands. In the mean time we
will keep the Diamond hooked on
to the pulley connecting with
our engine for few weeks and
and be ready to demonstrate its
utility to any buyer. This Dia-
mono is low priced and efficient
pres that has been well tested
BY US and we will nave it ready
to box and ship at a moments
notice, in complete running order
with pair Of six column chases
and two sets of rollers. The
press can be run by hand or en-
CINE power. and we have used it
both ways.
Newspaper men and members
of the craft will confer favor
on an old-time printer if they
will help US sell the press by
passing word around to those
looking for such a bargain.

selves have made, and yet 1t seems
that this cannot be.-Dean Smaller
