Our Compliments The officers and directors of "Your Hotne Bank" join in extending their compliments I. to ·CASTING IACIIIPIS TURN OUT SUPPLY OF "AD" TYPE T.- .......,_ HeW TYPE OF ALL SIZES T rr ... I __ HE Lloyd Hollister Inc., composing room is equipped with two Ludlow Typograph machines, and these make possible the big volume of advertising composition. The Ludlow equipment, in addition to the casting machines, is c om p o s e d of steel cabinets with drawers in each cabinet. Each drawer holds a font of type, ranging in size from 12 to 72 point. The larger type used in advertisements, which ranges between the minimum and the maximum sizes provided in the Lucllow equipment, is thus cast entirely by the machines. The big feature of the machine lies in its ability to furnish an unlimited quantity of new type. The line of type is cast from brass letter molds in the Ludlow machine. Since there is no w~r on the b~ss letter molds. from ~hich the .type 1s cast, they last andefiaately. . One of the Important features of the Ludlow is its labor saving. No longer is it necessary to hand-set and distribute type as in the old days, for the machine eliminates all this by its rapid-fire casting. The Ludlow machines are made of anusuaUy strong material and there is practically no upkeep cost. They are simple in operation and have proved their worth in the publication of W11r 111'1"1'1 Ltn.
