Housewarming Edition WINNETKA TALK March 3, 1928 Printing Rollers Make Newspapers of Readable Type HEN Wimerre Lire, WINNETKA ; TarLk and GLENCOE NEws reach the hands of their readers, columns as perfectly printed as is possible are presented for the eye. It is the im- portant function of the printing roller to aid in procuring a readable paper and in this phase of the publishing business 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 most- ly of a glue and glycerine substance, varying as to the time of the year they are to be used, also varying ac- cording to the degrees of humidity in the press-room and the speed of the press is also a consideration. DO YOU KNOW-- That the West Virginia Paper Mills furnish two kinds of paper stock to Lloyd Hollister Inc., namely, Super- book for covers, and Westvaco Maga- zine finish for inside pages of the pub- lications? _-- 4 Go- Getter Albert M. Levy Albert M. Levy, here pictured, takes care of the advertising for our news- papers in Chicago and does the job well, f 'Fleet' of 6 Folders . Required for Work in the New Plant N the press room of the Lloyd Hol- lister Inc., publishing establishment there will be found no less than six folding machines. Four of these were furnished by the C. F. Anderson com- pany of Chicago. The necessity for this "fleet" of folders indicates the high speed requirements of our plant. This equipment includes two Ander- son high speed catalogue and circular machines which have a capacity of 5.000 sheets folds an hour. These ma- chines may be set for any of a wide variety of folding combinations quick- ly. This includes right angle, parallel and combination folds. Then there also is a Brown Folder which folds sheets as large as 32 by 44 inches and 1 Dexter Folder for catalogue sections. In addition to the folders the Ander- son company furnished three Dexter Automatic feeding machines. DO YOU KNOW-- That the Christensen Stitching ma- chine used in the Lloyd Hollister Inc., hindery has an hourly capacity of 3,600 papers of 72 pages? Bon Voyage Year after year through honest toil the Hollister Press has builded. Now as they are leaving the old home for the new, we-- their neighbors and friends-- wish them sincere good for- tune, and bid them "bon voyage" as they embark toward the greater future that awaits their coming. STATE BANK and TRUST COMPANY Established 1874 Orrington at Davis Evanston, Illinois a -- SAW-TRIMMERS ENABLE GREATER 'MAKEUP' SPEED Miller Company Provides Ma- chines Which Mitre, Mortise, Rout and Cut Slugs HE, observing visitor in the com- posing room of Lloyd Hollister Inc, will see a Universal Saw-Trim- mer and a Special Purpose Saw-Trim- mer. The presence of these machines is accounted for by the need for great- er efficiency. Speed in making up and locking the forms is gained by the use of these Saw-Trimmers which were furnished by the Miller Saw-Trimmer company. The Universal and the Special Pur- pose machines are most valuable in mitering, inside and outside mortising and router work, also being used for cutting slugs and leads. In the press room there also will be found two Miller Feeders. These are attached to the job presses and en- able more accurate registration in printing. These machines have a work- ing capacity of 2,200 impressions an hour. ; i The value of these machines has been demonstrated many times when speed was required to turn out WiL- MEME LiFe, WINNETKA TArx and GLENCOE NEws on time. LINO-SAW ESSENTIAL Charles L. Mohr, Wilmette Resi- dent, Inventor of Slug Cutting Device Used on All Linotypes 'WELVE years ago a Wilmette man, Charles L. Mohr, who resides at 101 Sixth street invented a saw which cuts metal as a knife cuts a slice of bread, but accurately. This saw was i| not a big device. It was a small circu- lar affair, 34 inches in diameter, which when properly "motored" found its place on the linotype machine and thereafter it proved such a success for time saving and accuracy that it be- came known as the lino-saw, the Mohr lino-saw to be exact. Today the lino-saw is an attachment on linotypes all over the world, and Lloyd Hollister Inc. keeping abreast of the times, has lino-saws on the lino- types in its composing room. Op- erated by motor in conjunction with the operation of the linotype this de- vice saws the slug lines to proper width before they are delivered to the slug case. For instance if half column meas- ure type is desired all that is necessary is for the operator to set indicator on the scale 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 opera- tion which in times past was wasteful and costly. W. W. Lange in Charge of Big Composing Room William .W. Lange is in charge of the composing room and he is kept stepping fast seeing that all composi- tion is 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 handled with speed, accuracy and judgment. Mr. Lange somehow, finds time to handle all his important prob- lems. DO YOU KNOW-- _ That the Lloyd Hollister, Inc, build- ing will stand up for 1,000 years? That is the statement of Edgar Ovet Blake, designer of the structure.
