Instead of spending 3 vera 1 hundred dollars, plus time, energy t and advertising space, we deem- t ed it k-tter for both the paper t and its jKitrons to invest the mon- f ey that we have earned afx>vc I openrting expenses in new material ] and lalx>r-savingmaehery, so as to ( semi out a county paper that i would eompare favorably in mejchanicnl api>earance with any j weekly newspaper in this State ' and a!s<> t?? facilitate the work 1 of printing, folding, addressing ] and mailing the* sheet, which when done by hand is a very slow and laborious process. 1 We are pleased to announce to 1 our readers that, thanks to the lil<cral patronage they have favor- ' eil us with, we have been able 1 to put in most of the machinery, s etc., that has been so long need- 1 til to complete our equipment. J As will Ik* noted all the IhhJv ' type and head letter used in this 1 i.-.-u is brand new and of the 1 i i .M popular design. The body 1 type is just a little smaller than 1 tht old face which was really too ' : large and took up too much space. ' J Then, too, practically all our ad- 1 vertising display type is new and * we have added hundreds of dollars i worth of new type and material < to our job department, which is i now equipped to do bettor work i on shorter notice tlian ever before. And, last but not least in the 1 way of improvement, we have 1 added to our plant a newspaper 1 folder of the most approved make, * I that will fold, trim and paste one 1 thousand to fifteen hundred eight 1 to twelve page newspapers in an 1 j hour's time. ' 1 When all our new machinery is ' J installed and in operation, we ( I shall he able to print, fold and * / | address our entire edition of near- 5 !y two thousand papers in less 1 than two hours.
