Housewarming Edition WINNETKA TALK March 3, 1928 FIVE LINOTYPES HUM ta THE COMPOSING ROOM Mergenthaler Machines Which 'Dominate the Printing Industry 2 | Enable Speedy Composition ] EN you sit down to read your ¥ WiLmETE Lire, WINNETKA TALK or GLENCOE NEws the mind absorbs the news, the feature articles and the ad- vertisements which go to make up 'these Newspaper-magazines, but there is something else, which the reader probably doesn't think about at all. That is how is it done? Two words are sufficient to answer that question and those words are "The Linotype." It is the linotype, that mysterious and fascinating device, which more than any other printing machine dominates the printing indus- try. The Mergenthaler linotype, by the touch 'of the fingers as one oper- stds a typewrijter, gives to the waiting world the type which spreads the news, features and advertisements be- fore the eyes, and the speed of the pperation is. as rapid as is the speed of 'the aforementioned fingers. . No publication can afford to be with- out a linotype machine today. True, hev are costly, but figure the old andsetting labor against the speed and accuracy of this intricate inven- tion and cost is not a matter to be reckoned. ; Lloyd: Hollister Inc., keep- ng step with expansion now has five linotypes, - where 'a few short weeks |. ago there were only three. The ex- pansion which: brought the new and more spacious building also. brought those additional machines, because they are absolutely necessary in order that the business "of publishing our three Newspaper-magazines and the commercial 'work 'may 'go on expedi- Hopsly. i All of the linotypes set the body type, the heads and the advertising matter. All five machines are mod- ern. There are four' "Model Eights" and one "Model Five." There are triple magazine and single machine types. | "Linotype" spells the story of the modern newspaper. Ten Stations Carry . (Pages to Stitcher for Binding Process JE you've noticed the two little wire 1 istitches' that' 'hold the pages: of WoveE Live, WinNETKA TALK and GreENcog NEws together you have prob- ably wondered what sort of machine floss this work: 'The Christensen Au- matic Wire . Stitcher and Feeder comes into 'play when it is time for the binding process, The machine used by Lloyd Hollister Inc., was furnished by the A. W. Hall company of Chicago, the exclusive agents for the "Chris- tensen" in the middle-west. Our machine: is 'a two-header, but may be and often is increased to three or four head capacity. Running to the heads are ten stations which combine the sections of the paper for the titching process. The increasing size of ithe Hollister publications made it necessary to increase the number of stations four months ago at which time only five stations were in operation. © As showing the efficiency of this machine we call attention to these interesting points: : The Hollister publications are "sad- dle bound"; the machine stitches from © to any number of sheets to a quar- ter of an inch in thickness; changing fom one size work to another can be ne in 'three ito 'fifteen minutes, and fast and vitally interesting, the machine has a capacity of 3,600 one hundred- sixty page papers an hour. Glimpse of the Big Hollister Composing Room The Gordons Which Grind Out Job Work SER FEEDERS AND FOLDERS SPEED UP PUBLICATION Dexter Types Used in Pressroom Prove Efficient, One Feeding 1700 Papers an Hour HE Editorial department has fin- ished its editing and makeup task, the forms are locked and on the presses--then what? The big presses are hungrily waiting to be fed, but who is going to do the feeding? In the olden days a man stood on a platform and fed the white pages to the grinding press, but it isn't that way in the modern News- paper-magazine plant. There is a machine which automatically does what the hands of man used to do, and at regulated speed the blank paper moves into the press to come out at the other end with the news which delights the eyes of readers of Wi verte Lire, WINNETKA TALK and OrEncoE NEws.. The only thing a man does is to touch a switch and the feeder swings into action. Lloyd Hollister Inc., long ago found out that speed was necessary in feed- ing, as well as in press operation and installed Dexter Feeders to do the work formerly done by hands. The expansion of the plant and resultant increase in equipment saw the installa- tion of a new Dexter feeder on its big 46x65 cylinder press, which has in- creased the capacity of the press, so that today without forcing speed, 1,700 papers an hour are turned out and ready for the Folder. Besides the feeder on the big press there are three feeders on the folders. In fact, in all, there are in the new plant a total of four Dexter feeders and three folders, and these working simultaneously enable the readers of the Hollister publications to get their papers on time. A Wilmette man, Arthur C. Ham- mond of 500 Gregory avenue, is vice- president of the Dexter company, whose main office is in New York. Big Roof on Plant Is Constructed of Asphalt and Gravel ELECTING a roof for the big plant that would stand up against the weather presented one of the problems, but this was solved by the North Chicago Roofing company of Chicago. The job was a hig one as is evidenced by the size of the roof which measured 80 by 155 feet. The Roofing company decided that a composition roof of asphalt and gravel would be the best and as a result the contract for this type of roof was closed. The finished job presents a fine appearance. This company has done many jobs on the north shore .in recent years. It has been in business for sixty years. James T. Barry Is Foreman of Night "Comp" Shift When the sun begins to sink James T. Barry steps into the plant and be- gins his night's work. Mr. Barry is night foreman of the composing room and is a recent acquisition to the staff. Many years of experience, however, have enabled him to catch on quickly and as a result the work in the com- posing room goes on smoothly and speedily. SOMETHING ABOUT FLOORING There are few limitations as to the use of rubber, cork or linoleum for flooring, but one caution to be observ- ed consists in not laying these mate- rials in areas where dampness is likely to be present.
