The following dane ‘s taken from the ‘Staff News” issued by the rast ‘National Bank in Detroit where Mr. Baker has charge of the igs Department of that Bank.

Couldn't do that now, cr I?” asked Mr. Charles Baker, head of the print shop of our or- ganization. And we quite agreed that would be impossible, Rut in the dava past when pay was not so high and living coste were lower, experience was gained which has been invaluable to Mr, Baker in Jater days. In the various print shope in which he worked al! over the country he learned the ing and outs of all kinds of printing = es. eares for various jobs of printing which find their way to his shop in the sub- basement. For the last twelve years Mr. Baker has been in Detroit, and has been employed by the Cadillac Printing Comreany and the William Graham Printing Company. He in- stalled the plant in our sub-base- ment five years ago next ‘April. All the machines are electrically driven. This electrical power was installed a year and a half ago, un- - er Mr. Baker's direction. There re three Gordon proanes, one auto- matic feeder, a paper cutter, and a punching machine in the print shop With these machines Mr. Baker iz able to turn out printing that a gen- eral print shop would be able to do Menus, office forms, calendars and other ppraling pieces all from our press Mr. Baker and hls easetant, ite Arthur Litogot, Jr., will handle over one thousand jobs this year, which ‘s a big increase over last year.
