M. e N of Reiltlabl~ .,:_;,f'Type tlt'l I N the preu room of the Lloyd Hoilister ~.Inc~ publishing eitablishme~t I there wiD be found no less than sm folding machines. Four of these were furnished ~y the C. F. Anderson com-· pany of Chicago. The necessity for this. "fted" of folders indicates th~ high speed requirements of ~!1' plant. This equipment includes two Ander~on high speed catalogue and circular machines which have a ca~city of 5.000 sheets folds an hour. These machines may be set for any of a wide variety of folding combinations quickly. This includes right angle, parallel and combination folds. Then there ;also is a Brown Folder which folds ;heets as large as 32 by 44 inches and \ Dexter Folder for catalogue sectiors. In addition to the folders the Ander;on company furnished three Dexter Automatic feeding machines. e bands of their readers, columns .. perfectly printed as is possible-are presented for the eye. It is the important function of the printing roller to aid in procuring a readable paper and in this phase of the publishing ltusiness the American Printers' Roller company comes to the front. This company furnishes rollers of various sizes for the printing presses and also those used on the proof presses. Printers' rollers are composed mostly of a glue and glycerine substance, nrying as to the time of the year they are to be used, also varying according to the degrees of humidity in the press-room and the speed of the press is also a consideration.

WELVE years ago a Wilmette man, Charles L. Mohr, who resides at T 101 Sixth street invented a saw which l I Bon Voyage Year after year through honest toil the Hollister Press has builded. Now as they·are leaving the old home for the new, wetheir neighbors and friendswish -them sincere good fortune, and bid them "bon voyage" as they embark toward the greater future ~hat awaits their coming. cuts metal as a knife cuts a slice· of bread, but accurately. This saw was not a big device. It was a smaU circular affair, 3~ inches 1n diameter, which whea properl7 "motored" found its place on the linotype machine and thereafter it proved such a success for time saving and accuracy that it became known as the lino-saw, the Mohr lino-saw to be exact. -. Today the lino-saw is an attachment on 1inotypes all over the world, and Lloyd HoUister Inc., keeping abreast of the times, has lino-sa ws on the linotypes in its composing room. Operated by motor in conjunction with the operation of the linotype this device saws the slug lines to proper width before they are delivered to the slug case. For instance if half column measure type is desired all that is necessary is for the operator to set indicator on the seale board. The saw does the rest. The lino-saw does away with all the slow time labor of hand sawing the slugs to measure after they have been set by the linotype machine, an operation which in times past was wasteful and costly. .1 ·w.

Lange is in charge of the composing room and he is kept stepping fast seeing that all composition i~ set, that the advertising is made up and placed in the forms with the news matter. These are only a part of his job, for other things must be ~andled wjth speed, · accuracy and JUdgment. Mr. Lange somehow, finds time to handle all his important problems.
