PRINTER! SPARE THE BOOK.
BY THOMAS MACKELLAR.
Printer ! spare that book !
Cut not a single leaf! You know not half the pains we took,
Or you'd regard our grief. For many a thoughtful hour
We cull'd our fruitful brain To set before you type and flower
All strung on beauty's chain.
Printer! spare that book!
It is our fancy's pet: Turn gently o'er its leaves, and look
How tastefully 'tis set! There's learning in its page!
There's humor in its lines! And there the wisdom of the sage
With poesy combines.
Printer! spare that book!
Make it your office Pride, And keep it in a cherish 'd nook,
Your cunning skill to guide. When types grow old, and fain
You would your stock renew, Send us the number and the name —
But spare the book — now do!

BKONZER— Elm City.
Toe most perfect device for bronzing in the market. Receives the bronze in a cavity on top (which is closed tightly with a slide), and delivers it through valves, which are opened or closed by the thumb- screw at one end, and which regulate the flow of the bronze on a sieve in the midst of a fine beaver fur. No bronze escapes except on the work being done, and a large percentage of the bronze wasted by the old method is saved, as the bronze is fed only as fast as wanted, and just where wanted on the work, and not over the whole table.

ELM CITY CARD CUTTER.
ACCURATE IN WORKING. MADE OF BEST MATERIALS.
CUTS A FULL SHEET WITH A TWELVE-INCH BLADE.
This Cutter is so made that with the 12-inch blade a full sheet of card board may be cut on it— the sheet passing below the shear joint on the outside and above on the inside, and by the use of the adjusta- ble gauges accuracy is insured. Being made of the best materials tiiey are durable, and, considering the price, the cheapest Cutter made.

THE EAGLE CARD AND PAPER CUTTER.
HANDIEST MACHINE EVER PUT IN AN OFFICE.
With Automatic Binding Clamp to firmly hold sheets. Cuts cards, paper, light metal, etc. 2±% inch steel blades and solid iron beds.
Large enough for all work, as it cuts over 24 inches. By cutting narrow way first all size sheets may be done, and for small work it is perfectly adapted by simply changing the gauge bar to center of bed.
Paper may be cut as well as card board, about a dozen sheets at once, as the binder, traveling just before the knife, clamps the sheet firmly while being cut. Thus moderate sized lots may be got out quicker on this handy little Bench Machine than on a cumbersome power cutter. For trimming pamphlets, after folding or binding, the Eagle is periection itself.

BOSTON CARD CUTTER.
A FIRST-CLASS CUTTER AT MODERATE COST.
THE GAUGE is EXACT AND RELIABLE.
These machines are made in a thorough manner. The upper knife is curved, and is made of the best steel, and balanced. The frame is of iron, and the table of hard wood, which is the best surface for mov- ing paper over easily. The front gauge is positive, easily set, and ac- curate, being controlled by a rack and pinion, which holds the gauge exactly parallel with the knife. It has a reversible iron back guage, extending 28 inches from the knife, and a side gauge, which may be placed in three different positions on the table according to the size of the work being cut. No clamp is required writh this cutter, as it has a drawing cut, which keeps the sheet straight. Sheets or strips of any length can be cut, as the standard holding the upper knife has an offset, allowing the inside strip to pass over it and the outside strip under it.

HARRIS RULE CASE. (Saves time, labor and rule.)
In the Harris Rule Cases, the rule cannot fall flat, and is always faee up, even if only one piece is in a compartment. Each compart- ment is plainly numbered and made to take only the length indi- cated—a 9%-em pica will not go into a 9-em compartment— prevent- ing mixing of the rule. The partitions are made low, so that the brass can be easily grasped. No space is wasted in the Harris Rule Case, and there is room provided for a large proportion of the small- est lengths — the most valuable part of a font. It takes much longer to trim one 1-ein length than a 20-ern length, and not one man out of ten can get the 1-em piece square at that. As each Harris Case is only one-quarter the size of a full size case, the compositor can put it on his cap case, or on the stone, or on his galley rest, without inconven- ience.

CASE STANDS— San Francisco.
The foregoing view shows the job compositor's side of the stand, which contain fifteen full and fifteen two-third cases. It also shows the broad galley, size 14x60 inches, which gives as much room as a galley-top cabinet. This may be used as a dead galley, or as a galley- rest for live matter. The stands are made but twenty-one inches in width, thus being lighter, and occupying less floor space, an impor- tant consideration where heavy rents rule. The projecting brackets save, on a double stand, three feet of floor space.
CASE STAND.
"OUR OWN" BOOK STAND.
This Stand, which was originated in our San Francisco Branch, has been the most extensively copied of any article in the trade. It is sold by every Eastern manufacturer under the name of the "City" Stand, and with slight changes, and iron brackets in place of wood, becomes an "Autocrat," a "Boston," a "Success" or a "Polhemus," according to the fancy of the various manufacturers. It possesses many points of advantage, such as sliding lower-case, galley tray, handy upper-case, economy of space, etc. Cases can be arranged to draw out from front or rear. Paneled ends or outside runners added at .$1.00 for each end.

This is a Printer's Stand or Frame, in simple, compact and con- venient form. The prominent feature is the GALLEY TRAY under each lower case, adapted from "Our Own" Book Stand, where the compos- itor can empty his stick by simply pushing the lowercase up suffi- ciently to expose the galley, after which the case is drawn back to its place.
Each Stand will accommodate two pairs of news cases, fifteen full size job cases and six news galleys. On the deck or top, back of the brackets, there is also a large space, which may be utilized for sort drawers or for more galleys.

No greater nuisance exists in a newspaper office than imperfect composing sticks or composing sticks not accurately set to the meas- ure of the column. The imperfections cause unnecessary trouble in locking up and often tend toward disaster to the forms.
Style No. 1 is made of malleable iron; the handle and under side are japanned so that the stick cannot rust ; the pan itself is milled out, the sides being absolutely square and rigid, and altogether the stick is as perfect as could be desired.

DRYING RACKS— Interlocking.
With these Racks sheets are taken direct from the fly, and may be stacked ceiling-high in a perfectly straight and rigid pile, which can- not be knocked over by accident, and with no more weight on the bottom than on the top sheets. This pile is a most effective drying room, occupying only the floor space of one rack, and from the time the sheets are fed into the machine until ready for shipment they need not be handled. Each Rack is firmly locked on its neighbor, but each slides with ease on the rack immediately below it. They save handling, all the time of that operation, and the consequent waste of paper through offset, smearing, finger marks and tearing. In many cases these Racks save expensive slip-sheeting. They cir- cumvent electricity by receiving the sheet direct from the fly. They ensure evenness of temperature, and thereby assist in getting a per- fect register on lithographic work. They save seventy-five per cent, of floor space over any other method of drying sheets, and from one to two per cent, of paper, and a vast amount of time.

PLATEOGRAPH.
By the use of this machine any one can engrave upon the plates without any previous training whatever. By simply following with the tracing point of the machine the lines of the photo or picture to be reproduced, a reduced or enlarged copy, as may be desired, is en- graved upon the plate by the cutting point. Our purpose in making the machine is especially to help those who cannot draw with facility ; but it is also a great assistance to the expert artist and engraver, enabling him to save much valuable time and labor. They are made wholly of polished metal, accurately graduated, and have improved cone bearings for taking up all wear and lost motion.
Price in brass, nickel plated $12.50
Write for full description of how it works. BULB BLOWER.
This tool is a great convenience to the artist. The soft rubber bulb is held in the left hand and the hose connecting it with the hollow handle of the engraving tool is passed over the neck of the operator. A slight compression of the bulb forces a current of air through the handle of the tool, removing all dust as fast as it is cut.

SHOOT BOARD. Combined Shoot Board, Plane, Miter-Box, Clamp and Saw.
The plane runs in a grooved bed at the right-hand end, in the us- ual manner. A slot in the elevation at the back of the board forms the front bearing for the saw, and two pins dropped in6o conical holes form the rear bearing. When not being used the pins are re- moved. The clamp slides in a dovetailed groove, and, by means of a winged set-screw, clamps the block while it is being sawn or routed with chisels. During routing a piece of mounting wood is placed in front and rear of cut to prevent the chisel coming in contact with the iron. The plane is used for smoothing and squaring the edges of the cut.
The board and plane are entirely of iron and steel. Size of bed, 16x16. Price, with plane, saw (26 in.) clamp and pins, complete, $22.00

The purpose of this Galley is indicated by its name. It is a half- rimmed wood galley, with a printed scale on its face covered with glass. The lines are just a pica apart and are plainly numbered from one to sixty, each fifth line and number being more heavily printed than the rest, as shown in the cut. The leads, slugs or brass rule to be sorted are laid edgewise on the Galley across the lines, which reg- ister at once their respective lengths. A galley full is quickly dis- tributed by removing successively the longest lengths. Worth its weigh-t in gold to any office.

INK FOUNTAINS. .
The size of this Foun- tain makes it practical to use expensive ink without waste, only a small amount being re - quired to fully supply the fountain. The bot- tom is so constructed as to permit all the ink to run down to the roller, there being no pocket or dead space. This fountain can be inter- changed from one press to another without re- moving the attachments — so that by having two or more fountains the color can be changed without wasting the ink, which must occur if one fountain has to serve all colors. The roller can be removed for cleaning by turning back the thumb -screws until the caps can be removed through the slot in front, then by raising the roller it will come out through the same slot.

By using the Brass Label Holders and labeling type cases properly a most uniform and harmonious effect is produced. The composing room becomes neater and more attractive to visitors as well as to employer and employees. The compositor is kept familiar with the various faces of type in the office— especially those only occasionally used— and is greatly facilitated in the selection of lines; a great help to new compositors, and much time, labor and patience are saved in both composition and distribution.

LEAD AND FURNITURE RACK, SURPLUS.
Keeping the surplus material in an office has always been a vexed problem. Of several of the sizes of leads you have many more than your regular lead rack will accommodate. Sets of furniture for a special form are cut from time to time of some odd size not provided for in the furniture cabinet, and when the job is complete, there is no place to keep them. We have here just what is needed for this pur- pose. This rack consists of a shallow box with twenty movable slides, marked A (see small cut), to which the ends B B are permanently attached. The strip C, which forms the back of the pigeon hole, is to be fastened in position to suit the material you wish to place in it. When filled, stamp the length in pica ems on both top and bottom on the end of the strip B. Place the smallest size on the left, and in- crease toward the right. The slides, being movable, intermediate sizes can always be placed in correct position. Place the rack so that the top inclines back, to keep material from falling out. The rack here shown is 30 inches high, 24 inches wide, and 6 inches deep. Any size made to order. Price, above size $4.50

The above illustration represents our Lamp-Holder, a most con- venient and safe attachment for holding a lamp over the compositor's case. It will be readily understood by reference to the cut that the fount-holder A can be instantly raised from C to B, as shown by the dotted lines, to adapt the position of the light to suit the compositor. Small sprockets at the top of B and C. with suitable recesses in A, retain the light in any position desired, perfectly stationary. Price 75
LEAD AND SLUG MOLD— "Perfect."
These cuts represent a mold for casting 3-point leads and 6-point and 12-point slugs. No office, especially any outside of the large cities, should be without one. With a little practice anyone can cast good leads and slugs. The cost of leads and slugs is so high and the waste so great from constant cutting in job work that but few offices have an adequate supply, and hence much time is lost in "picking" and patching by compositors. Most offices have plenty of old type metal and electro or stereotype plates of little value, which can be utilized by the aid of this mold, and can be made into those indis- pensable adjuncts to job and newspaper work— leads and slugs o f standard sizes. This mold is made in our own foundry, by the best of workmen, and is reliable in every way. It will save its cost in a few hours.

The back gauge is reversible; while the bed on a No. 1 Cutter is only 8 inches long, a rule may be cut 12 inches long. The front gauge is for cutting narrow pieces of lead or rule rapidly.
Leads should be cut on the front section of the bed and brass rule on the rear section only. When cutting rule the bottom of the rule should be placed against the ridge in the center of the bed.
The sectional view shown here gives such a clear idea of the new gauge as to render any extended description unnecessary .Narrow slots are made in the bed of the cutter, and the adjustable gauge is provided with a tooth fitting the slot and rendering it im- possible for the gauge to slip.

The box occupies just one-half of the lower case "e" box, and utilizes all space of case partitions etc. While it appears, and is small, its peculiar construction admits of its holding nearly as many leaders as the big, awkward cigar box. With the aid of two steel points on the under side, and the two arms which drop against the partitions of the "k" and "1" boxes, it is held so firmly in position that it is impossible to remove it without lifting the side-arms.

In this machine, the cutting head having no sidewise motion, the knife will always shave as much from the bottom as from the top of the rule. The cutting head is regulated by set screws. The smallest piece of rule can be shaved without a clamp or any other device.
The machine needs no fastening to a bench. It is mounted on a rimmed wooden platform to catch all the shavings, and can readily be moved to a stone, table or case. The platform is also provided with an emery board on which any burr can be rubbed off promptly.
The micrometer gauge (extra) enables the operator, through its extremely accurate gauge combinations, to shave a piece of rule ex- actly to point system.

MONARCH NUMERATOR.
Triple Action, Steel Wheels, for Duplicating, Repeating and Consecutive Num- bering.
In introducing this numbering machine at such a greatly reduced price, we distinctly wish our pat- rons to understand that the arti- cle is not in any manner inferior to other machines; on the con- trary they are improved, from the fact of changes having been made in our new Monarch as fol- lows: The attachments for chang- ing the different actions for num- bering have been simplified to prevent any mishap through in- experience in operating. The inking attachment is entirely new, having a more direct and straight action of the ink pad to the figure wheels (patented), also being more compact, producing a lighter, stronger and easier-work- ing machine. The frame and wheels are of steel, highly finished and thoroughly nickel-plated.
The important features of this machine are the simplicity of its construction and the direct action of its working parts, especially the process of inking, which is done by the same method as is used on the ordinary numbering machines
The Monarch is the simplest machine extant, without compli- cated attachments to be continu- ally getting out of order.
We keep in stock the styles and sizes of figures shown in margin. Special stylas made if desired, at slightly advanced cost. Be sure and designate style of number de- sired.
Each machine in wood box, with a bottle of ink, red or blue.

Cuts 2% inches thickness of paper. Squares 14 inches. This handy little cutter will be found very useful in all Job Printing Offices. It will effect a great saving of time. and labor in the cutting of small work, such as labels, bands, circulars, cards, etc. Avoid the trouble and expense of having the knife of your larger cutter ground so often because of the little space in the middle of its cutting edge getting dull from use on small jobs. A very desirable feature is the ability to gage and cut accurately very narrow jobs. It is a well built and substantial machine, made entirely of iron and steel, and will sustain the well earned reputation of the Paragon.

DIRECTIONS FOR SETTING UP.— After setting the frame upon its legs and putting on the ribs and bed, lay the platen on the bed, placing under it two bearers about type high, then run in the bed so as to bring the platen under the spring rods and screw them fast to the platen, after which put in the bar-handle, standard and lever. Turn the nuts on the suspending rods so as to compress the springs just enough to give the platen a quick retrogade motion, observing at the same time to get the surface of the platen parallel with the surface of the bed.
After having put the press together and leveled it, be particular not to raise the end of the ribs by the gallows, but let it go under loose, which will have a tendency to make the bed slide with more ease on the ribs.
JP^-See that the different parts of the press are well oiled before starting, and do not take a pull until the bed is completely run in to its place.

We are now building all our California Reliable Presses complete with our New Fountain, without extra charge. (Cannot be used on any press but the California Reliable.) The change we have made in the roller saddles, enables the pressman to use two form rollers without the fountain, each roller covering the ink plate as fully as the two top rollers of any other Old Style Gordon, and covering the form com- pletely, or with fountain roller and three form rollers covering the entire surface of the plate and form, giving the best distribution of any Platen Job Press on the market.

EMBOSSING MACHINE.
A machine built only for -very heavy embossing and book -cover stamping ("smashing"), and has no inking apparatus whatever.
The following memoranda of its dimensions and principal features will give a fair idea of what the nress is canable of doincr:
wheel having 400 Ibs. of iron in its rzm, or 800 Ibs. in both, for very powerful impression, revolving eight and a quarter times to each print. When open to receive the sheet the pjaten is thrown back nearly to a horizontal posi-
may be arranged for super neaieu steam, n uesirauie — as in very neavy crusn- ing of hard and unyielding material.
This style is built in two sizes, with or without a stop motion. The stop motion operates automatically without stroke or jar, stopping and starting the platen as desired while the fly-wheel continues in full momentum, thus giving any required time for accurate pointing or placing the sheets without losing the force of a cjuick impression.

STAMPING AND PAPER -BOX CUTTING AND CREASING MACHINE,
Early in the year 1876 the first printing presses adapted to the work of cut- ting and creasing pasteboard for boxes were made by M. Gaily, since which time he has placed a large number in most of the paper-box manufactories of the United States. His present press, for this purpose, is his latest improvement, and is the largest and most powerful machine ever produced for this kind of work. Having the improved platen movement of the "New Universal," remark- ably simple, and being solid in its build, it is peculiarly adapted for either stamp- ing or paper- box cutting and creasing.
The construction of this machine is substantially the same as the embossing pressee. It has a soft steel plate, screwed to face of platen, and the face of this plate is set .9185 inches from and parallel to the face of the bed.
This machine is built in three sizes, as follows :
22^X30, f. o. b. factory $750 00

Above prices include skidding and crating of parts and delivering on board cars or boat at manufactory, Hartford, Conn.

PATENT AIR SPRING COUNTRY PRESS— THE "TRIUMPH."
NEW SERIES.
The illustration on opposite page shows the latest improved Cottrell Country Press — new series. It is adapted to printing newspapers, posters, pamphlets, cir- culars and all classes of commercial printing. This machine has been thor- oughly remodeled and reconstructed; special attention has been given to the design and to the proportioning of all the parts to the work required, making a strong, simple and rapid machine.
The side frames are changed in design, the flanges projecting inward, the whole presenting a smooth, massive and cleanly appearance. The press is sup- plied with the patent air springs, the resistance of which is increased or decreased according to the speed of the press. It is well known that the faster the speed the greater strength of spring is required; the patent air spring covers these re- quirements. If the press is running at five hundred per hour, the spring can be easily regulated for that speed ; and if running at one thousand per hour, the pro- portionate increase of spring can be obtained, and so up to the highest speed of which the press is capable. The air spring is provided with an automatic throw -off that releases the spring when the press is stopped, and the pressman can move the bed to and fro without compressing the air; when the press is started the spring is applied automatically.
The patent hinged roller frames permit of the form rollers being instantly uncovered for removal or other purpose without unscrewing the sockets. The rollers can be taken out and put back without changing their set. The well fountain is used, being easily regulated and cleaned. It is set high, giving easy access to the form. The distribution is ample ; two three- inch rollers cover a full form. The bed has four supports while under the impression. This is impor- tant, as a clear, even impression can be taken without overlaying the form. The shoes, tracks and roller are of hard steel. The gearing is accurately cut, which, together with registering rack and segment, insures perfect register. The fly is balanced, laying the sheet gently on the pile table.
The whole machine is substantially built, simple in construction ; can be set up and run by any printer, and by the aid of the patent air springs will run one- third faster than any other country press. — Manufacturers' Circular.

COTTRELL MONARCH PRESS.
For a certain grade of offices who do not wish to be considered country printers, and yet want a machine that shall be constantly employed and produce a good grade of work, we recommend the Monarch Press. It has many advan- tages and improvements, including patent air springs, patent tapeless delivery, back-up and hinged roller frame, geared sliders, iron steps and feeder's stand, and is the best press which can be made and satisfy the consideration of low price.
It is a press of excellent design, of the best materials, of high speed, but by manufacturing them in large quantities and building but two sizes, we are en- abled to make the price within the reach of the printer of moderate means.
The Monarch was designed and is sold in competition with the lower grades of presses of other manufacturers, but easily outclasses all other presses which claim the consideration of a reduced price.
It is fast— 1,700 an hour for the No. 5, and 2,000 for the No. 3. There are four bearings under the bed, steel tracks and slider rolls, heavy flange on the ends of the cylinder, and, coming between the Country and Job and News, is an extremely popular machine. — Manufacturers' Circular.

COTTRELL JOB AND NEWS PRESS— THE "PARAGON."
In construction and finish the Job and News Press resembles our first -class extra heavy machine, but is simpler and can be run by any person capable of running a country drum.
The design is handsome, compact and solid, being perfectly smooth on the outside and easily kept clean, and being constructed with few working parts, sets nearer the floor, making it easier to handle and feed than the average drum cylinder.
Its mechanical construction is very complete. It has a solid bed-plate, or foundation with cross -girt, cast solid in one piece. To this superstructure are bolted the side frames and standards supporting the ribs and two centre -bearing wheels, which, in connection with the slider roll tracks, give four bearings under- neath the impression. The end of the cylinder is flanged, giving additional stiffness.
The material is of the very highest grade of special iron, and all gears and small wearing parts are constructed of gun metal, giving a wearing capacity equal to any press manufactured.
Our patent tapeless delivery, with all its advantages of handling the sheet without smut or dirt, is an essential feature.
Our patent improved air- springs, with vacuum valve, are used on this machine, and a full form of type can be run at a speed of 1,650 per hour with but little or no jar or vibration. We use a well fountain, which will use every particle of ink without waste. It can be easily cleaned when changing from one quality of ink to another. The machine is provided with hinged roller frame, iron steps and feeder's stand, our patent geared sliders, for preserving unity of travel between the bed and sliders, balanced fly-wheel with continuous fly cam, patent micrometer feed guides, double tympan rods, gibs for holding down the bed, flanged ends to the cylinder, all of which go to make up the solid, speedy, convenient and easily handled machine. — Mfrs.

COTTRELL TWO -RE VOLUTION PRESS— NEW SERIES.
The engraving on opposite page represents a Two -Revolution Press of our new series. This machine has been entirely reconstructed and strengthened throughout, and many of the mechanical arrangements greatly simplified. This reconstruction and entire change of design and patterns enables us to present to the trade a machine exceedingly simple in its construction, as a glance at the cut will show, yet embodying all our patented improvements, in which we have always kept the lead, and which have rendered our presses so justly popular.
The bed runs on four steel tracks upon hardened steel rollers, the rollers be- ing ground to exact size by special machinery. All of the four tracks are supported in direct line with the impression upon standards raised from the girt, the girt itself being cast solid with, and a part of the bed-plate. A great advantage in this construction is the economy of time in making ready, as the heaviest impressions in cut forms can be worked without the least possibility of spring in either tracks or bed.
Our patent air-springs, with which this press is equipped, and which have been one of the distinctive features of the Cottrell press for so many years, make the machine almost noiseless in operation, and the accurately -cut gearing, to- gether with our patent attachment for controlling the momentum of the cylinder, insures perfect register. This machine has a power backing -up motion, and a trip, enabling the operator to throw off the impression at will, or to roll the form any number of times. — Mfrs. Circular.

COTTRELL TWO -REVOLUTION PONY— NEW SERIES.
The Cottrell Two -Revolution Pony is the latest arrival in the printing world. It comes equipped with every appliance and improvement for conven- ience of operation — including trip-at-will and back-up. In proportion to its cost it is the quickest money -getter that has ever been erected on the floor of an American pressroom.
The popular size is 25X30 on the bed (between bearers). This hustles a 22X28 sheet as it never was moved before. Remember, the press is built with a stout bed -plate, and does not stand like a chair, but is firmly grounded like a steam engine. For stationers' work, insurance work, railroad or express work, for all rapid transit — and for a full " charging drawer" at six o'clock each night — the Cottrell Two -Revolution Pony is the only certain solution. — Mfrs.

THE IMPROVED CAMPBELL COUNTRY HAND SERIES.
This press has been long and favorably known to the trade as the best, most simple, most durable, and most profitable cylinder press for the general use of a country office.
The cut shows the new machine, which is the old style Campbell "Country" remodeled, simplified, and improved with special refer- ence to easy running by hand power.
In the new machine all of the peculiar advantages possessed by the old have been retained and new features added to them, until the press represents the nearest approach to perfection yelTattained.
In simplifying, it has been made possible to reduce the cost, mak- ing the cheapest as well as the best press of this character in the market, and although especially designed for a hand-power press, tight and loose pulleys and belt-shipper can be applied at the nom- inal additional cost of $15.00.

PERFORATORS.
THE FRANKLIN HAND PERFORATOR.
This hand perforating machine we can fully recommend to be as good as any perforator made. Just the thing for binders, printers and lithographers whose trade does not warrant a larger machine. Five chicks can be perforated without turning. Table is made of oak; machine is japanned and ornamented, and is far superior in material and workmanship to the machines of other makers. It makes a round hole, the same as on postage stamps, and the per- forating is large enough for any check-book. There is no taking out of needles, and in case of accident these can be replaced at very little expense. It will pay any printer to buy this machine who prints checks, clothing tickets, price marks, and such other matter as requires separating from pads or books. There is a great variety of work which a small printing office can do with the aid of this ma- chine which would otherwise go to larger offices. It is a cheap, first- class, durable perforator. Weight of machine boxed ready for ship- ment, 100 Ibs.

QUOINS.
THE MIDGET QUOIN LOCKED.
Smallest quoin on the market — occupies a space of 18 points by 120 points. It is a saver of time— also of money.
To say that the average printer is up to the times would be a falsity, but to say that he has not reached the goal of perfection is true. There are so many points where the craft are destined to im- provement. The Midget is not an improvement, but is a thoroughly new idea. It does away with an annoyance that has been in exist- ence from away back— that of making some forms tight by forcing in leads.
THE MIDGET QUOIN UNLOCKED.
The Midget which we have is a very small lock, and will lock up a form in a very small space. You can put it anywhere in a form. To a practical printer all this is evident— the quoin speaks for itself. You should have it in your plant. No printing office complete with- out it.
SOME POINTS WORTH NOTING.
Tapping it with the ever-present mallet fastens it.
It occupies no more space in length when locked than unlocked.
The proof of its safety is the fact that when looked it rests 011 its corresponding flat surfaces,
It can be put anywhere in a form, as the space it occupies is so small that it is not noticeable in the printed job.
Unlike other quoins, the harder the substance is it rests against, the better. Price, per doxen, with key $2.00

HOPKINS PLATE CUTTER.
The Hopkins Plate Cutter cuts the plate or matter quicker, easier and neater than it can be cut by any other method. It is simple and durable. Being automatic in its action, the cut is bound to be abso- lutely straight and the letters on the matter cannot be mutilated, which is so often the case with the mitre-box and saw. When in a hurry to "make up" you can with this machine cut off a plate to fit quicker than you can with the mitre-box and saw, and in less time than it would take to hunt up a "dead ad." It is always ready, being in one piece. It is valuable to job offices as well as newspaper offices, as it cuts stereotype bases, wood or metal furniture, brass rules, slugs, etc., and never makes a mistake. Aside from its utility in cut- ting up stereotype plate-matter, the machine is a real convenience to any printing office. There is a great deal of miscellaneous cutting, in connection with which this device wrorks into the best advantage. The only thing to wear out is the saw, which can be replaced by us for 25 cents, and can be attached in a minute by you. The device can be operated as easily by the apprentice as by the foreman. Weighs ten pounds. It saves time and labor, and prevents that bungling and mutilating of plates which are a consequence of the present unsatis- factory method. Price $6.50

THE ST. JOHN TAKE SLUG.
The above cut represents a useful improvement in "Take Slugs," made of brass, solid and substantial; they have bearers above and below the figures, which protect them from injury, and give a line to measure from. The hole in the center is the exact size of the type used, and when the figures become useless they can be replaced at a very trifling cost. To the foreman or compositor in the newspaper office the sing speaks for itself more eloquently than words can. Cut to any measure, 2<3c. each.
BRASS INDENTED TAKE SLUG.
This slug is made of solid brass, and is almost indestructible. The figures are plainly indented in the face of the slug, and the line to measure from is unmistakable. They are cheaper than the ordinary electrotyped slug, and preferable in every respect. Cut to any meas- ure, 20 cents each.

TAPE COUPLER— Metallic.
The "Metallic Tape Coupler" for connecting ends of tape used on printing presses, folding machines, etc., is something new. In pre- vious years there has been a great deal of time and energy wasted experimenting on various devices for connecting ends of tape with- out sewing, and at the same time have perfect register. This device will surely be appreciated by all who have had experience sewing ^ape, and whose duty it is to see that the registration of paper on folding machines is perfect. It frequently happens that tape joined by sewing will wear out on the sides where it is sewed, causing the tape to run crooked, which will invariably throw the paper out of register. By using the "MetalicTape Coupler" you will find the tape to run perfectly true and accurate. It is more durable than sewing and can be adjusted in a few seconds, (with the aid of "Parallel Pliers," especially made for the purpose), making it a great time- saver.
The Coupler for Webb presses is a little different from the folding machine Coupler, and an advantage over eyeleting together the ends of tape.

THORNE TYPE-SETTING AND DISTRIBUTING HACHINE.
Price, complete with all fixtures, on application.
The Thorne machine, using type, produces perfect typographical results as well as great economy. It is simple in construction, and does not require the attendance of a machinist. The distribution is automatic, and, while both the distributing and setting mechanisms are contained in one machine, each operation is independent.
The key-board resembles that of a type-writer, except that it is larger and has more keys. The arrangement of the keys is such that in playing in the direction indicated by the figures 1-2-3-4, etc., to 90, the operator may play with the utmost rapidity; thus the word "and" with the space which would follow it, is located as represented on the diagram by keys numbered 12-14-16-19, and even if these keys should be played simultaneously, the word would come into the line correctly and be followed by its space. Repeated tests of speed taken while operators were engaged in actual work have demonstrated that the machine will produce type at the rate of over 9,000 ems of solid type per hour, seven or eight lines per minute of minion, containing twenty-two ems of type each, being frequently produced by rapid operators.

AMERICAN TYPE FOUNDERS' CO. THORNE TYPE-SETTING AND DISTRIBUTING MACHINE.
The power required to drive each machine is very light, three to five machines being driven by a one-horse power electric motor. While any steady power is all that machines require, electric power, being most steady, is recom- mended. Electricity has come into such universal use that it can now be obtained for power at very low rates in almost any of the cities of this country.
FEATURES OF THE THORNE.
Among other decided advantages possessed by the Thorne are that it sets and distributes simultaneously or separately, at will ; requires less than five feet square of floor space for the machine ; is simple in construction, and made to the highest standard of mechanical excellence.
The Thome is thoroughly adapted for all kinds of book and newspaper composition. The shortest "takes" can be handled as expeditiously on the machine as by hand compositors — which feature will be especially appreciated in its use in daily newspaper offices.
The machine is easily kept in working order, is simple and durable in construction, and for running requires but little more power than an ordinary sewing machine.
"Proofs" from matter set on the machine are much " cleaner " than those from matter set in the ordinary way; the " distribution" being automatic and absolutely correct, there can be no typographical errors from that source.
The machine may be used twenty -four hours a day if desired, the distribution being automatic, as above stated, and no time required to " fill the cases" as in hand work.
Wherever used they displace all frames and cases for body letter, except cases for the type used in correcting proofs. One machine occupies about the same floor space as a compositor's frame. In a room filled with machines twice as much type can be set as in the same room filled with frames and cases.
Anybody who has intelligence enough to run an ordinary type -writer can easily learn to operate the Thorne; yet it is doubtless true that practical com- positors, by their familiarity with the use of type, the rules of the craft, and various little dexterities which are well understood among printers, become expert in the use of machines more quickly than the ordinary mortal.
The shortest "takes," two-line letter " ads," market reports, sporting pro- grammes, foot -ball results, and open advertisements not containing many different sizes of type, are set with great celerity and economy by aid of the Thorne, features specially valuable in newspaper composition. Italics also are readily inserted.
Composition by the Thorne is very compact, having few, if any, make -evens, and saves both the time and the money (paid for inserting quads) expended in the numerous make -evens resulting from hand composition when copy is cut into short "takes.'*
The wretched tedium of distribution is avoided, and the physical and mental strain involved in composition is minimized.

John Milton, the most illustrious of the whole line of English poets, was born in his father's house, the Spread Eagle, in Bread street, London, on the 9th December, 1608. His father was a scrivener, or money broker, who had embraced the Protestant faith, and who appears to have been a man of

We believe that in the care of her sons place our being, down the corridors of time comes the answer— It is, it is. We glory in the diversified industries of our State, and well we may.
