Frequently in the past we have ^-•n compelled to omit imports: t items that t< sebed us too lute te ho put I*! typo *!• Urn# for * ur rev ulir edition, which must ul to press ut a certain hour in order to ^he to tho malls so pa to reach our subscribers promptly. Now all such contingencies are absolutely avoided. Tho machine will do the work of three or four hand compost tors, so that wo will never be at a loss In the future about printing a detailed story concerning whatever happens. Added to this advantage, we can •always present our readers with a paper printed from brand-new type, or elugs, as the product of the Lino type to culled. After being once for aa edition of the paper, theee elugs are not preserved, but cast bad^. into the melting pot or crucible of the machiae, there to eed to a molten state and subsequently recast Into new slogs for tho next edition. While a great many of onr readers may have seen a Linotype at some time or other, possibly very few of them have ever seen a Junior Ll- type. For tho benefit of such a have never seen either, a descript lott ef this wonderful machine is given herewith. The Junior Linotype is u modi fication of tho original standard Linotype, aad. with the exeeptlion that its scope to somewhat limited, has all the strong features which made the parent machine famous A few'worde about Itq evolution end development will he appropriate at this time. Aboqt nineteen years ago John R. Rogers invented a composing and mating machine. In principle it waa u goood deal like the present Junior Linotype, but it was rather crude lia its operation. It was op erated entirely by hand, aad its ex treme asperity would not equal the output of more than two hand eotn- nt heat. Mo aoM his pat- ijk a since that time has baeea at head of the experimental depart ment of that great company Although tho greater part of hto time has been devoted, with Phil- T. Dodge, the president of the Mer- genthaler Linotype Company* to improving the eoustruction nod in creasing the venality of the stand aad Linotype, yet he has always had a warm spot in hto heart for hto original idea. He realised however, that a one-letter, band-operated, temi-au tomatic composing machine was but a makeshift at its best, and ao about seven years ago the fint Jun lor Linotype was completed to the factory of the Mergethalern Linotype Company,, and woe a direct descendant of bis original machine. It was, to be sure, u one-letter ma chine, bat was power-driven and au tomatic in its casting and distribu tion. Mr, Rogera has admitted since, that while knowing tho first Junior Linotype a great stop in advance of hto hand operated machine, he did not know at that time, from a practical study of the conditions, just what would confront one of theee machines In the average news paper office. Since those early days the Jan lor Linotype has been steadily Im proved in construction. Mr. Rogers hss spent a great many days in offices where Junior Linotypes were In ope Ration under various condi tions. and from his keen observe Hon has teen enabled to develop the machine to meet those condl lions lu a way which has proved to be eatisfactory to the users and to the manufacturer. Since the early Jays of the Jun lor Linotype, and until February 1. 190S the machine practically sold Itself. Without advertising and handicapped by limited factory facil Itles, owing to the unprecedented growth of the standard Linotype ! business, there was still a small but steady sale of the machine, so that something over one hundred one- letter Junior Linotypes were In stalled In that period The company believing there was a large field for the Junior Lino type, 'and especially for an, automat Ic, easily operated machine which would set 1,000 erne or more of sol id nonpareil an hour, saw fit to Tho regular memorial exercises to bo hold at Drs.
