Milford chronicle. [volume] (Milford, Del.) 1878-1974, 1927-10-28

With a good deal of satisfaction,
the publishers of the Milford Chron-
icle announce the installation of a
new Model IA Linotype. This me-
chanical marvel is specially equip
ped with a complement of type
faces which enables us to serve eff
ficiently the large number of per-
sons who look to our publication
for enlightenment and entertain
ment, and who patronize our job
printing department, which is one
of the largest in Delaware.
The rapidly increasing demand of
composition together with our de-
sire to place at the command of our
advertisers and others the highest
grade of Typography, induced us to
add to our mechanical equipment
another multiple-magazine Linotype
for the quick and accurate and
pleasing presentation of the news of
the day, and the production Of SUI
perior job and book work.
Our new Linotype enables us to
set by machine virtually all forms
of composition that through lack of
sufficient machine equipment pre-
hand. The Chronicle plant is capable
of turning out composition consist
ing of correct type faces in many
different sizes, and the change
from one size to another is made by
a twist of the wrist. In the flick
er of an eyelash the versatile oper-
ator-whose hand is made famous
by the Mergenthaler Linotype Com
pany as "the hand that keeps the
world informed"-on the versatile
machine sets type of all the wanted
sizes.
This installation is a testimonial
to the prosperity of Milford and
vicinity. And that the good people
of the community are duly appreci-
alive of our efforts to serve them in
all departments of the printing bus1-
ness is manifested by the many
compliments received from individual
patrons since the arrival of our new
machine.

( The accompanying illustration
will give our readers some idea of
the marvellous mechanism of the
Linotype, a composing machine on
which are assembled matrices Tor
little brass molds) and lines of type
cast-lines such as you are now
reading. The particular model of
machine which we have just install
led carries at one time four sets OF
matrices-cOntrOlled from a stand
ard keyboard of ninety keys-and
gives the operator instant command
of 568 different. characters.
Besides enabling the operator to
set various faces and sizes of type,
our new Linotype makes it possible
for him to produce the rules, dashes
and borders which are used in var
ious advertisements in each issue of
our publication. When employed in
the composing of advertisements,
newspaper headings, booklets, cata-
logs and various other kinds of
printed matter, our new Model IA
enables one operator to set in the
same time more type than ordinarily
could be produced by five or six men
or women doing the work by hand
and the composition is incomparab-
ly better.
While for long time we have re-
ceived the patronage of a host of
subscribers, advertisers and printing
buyers in general, we look forward
to the handling of an even greater
volume of business, now that we are
so we'll qualified to render the sort
of service most to be desired.
1t has been our aim to present the
news Of the day without fear or fav-
or, and to reflect faithfully the
ideas and ambition of our constitu-
ents; and we shall continue to de-
vote our talents and resources to the
fulfilling of this aim. And of great
help to us in the carrying out of our
purpose will be our new Model IA
Linotype, which with the other type
setting equipment should greatly
aid in producing the Chronicle and
other printed matters promptly.
