Uncle Ted's Bed Time Stories
Postal Card Starts
Story

"You know it's postal card, but
I'll bet that's all you do know about
it," said Jack as he was talking to
Ruth, who was busily engaged in
writing a note on one of Uncle Sans
own postal cards, the kind for sale in
all the post offices of the country.
"What else is there to know about
it," asked Ruth. 81 know it's post
card and that it cost me penny and
that can write lot on the back and
mail it just that way"
"You don't know where it was
printed" replied Jack.
"Sure, it was printed at tn eBureau
of Engraving and Printing, Washing
ton," was Ruth's quick reply.
"Sorry, Ruth, but you're wrong"
interrupted Uncle Ted. "Uncle Sans
postal cards are printed in the biggest
printing shop in the world, the Gov
ernment Printing Office, at Washing
ton. They are printed along with the
thousands of government reports
Congressional Record, Congressional
directory, money order blanks and
don't remember what all. How about
story on that big print shop
Seems to me you kiddies should know
something about it."
"Fine," replied Jack, "I'd love t,
hear about it."
81 suppose there is no other publ
cation in the country so well know
as the Congressional Record, whicl
gives the daily procedure for both tn
Senate and the House of Representa-
tives, as we'll as speeches of the mem

of the printing turned out each year
approximates 100000 printed from
more than 10000 forms, as the type
pages are called. That is more than
one a minute for every working day
of eight hours.
"When we learn that this plant is
called upon to do $4,000 different
kinds of printing jobs on 152 presses

into the plant, must be maintained.
