TO INSTALL A LINOTYPE.

The Democrat Contracts For a New “Model 5” Hachine.

The Democrat has contracted for a Standard Linotype of the latest make of the Merganthaler Linotype Co., at a cost of about $3,500, and expects to have same on its floor aud in operation by April 1. or as soon as the machine can be shipped to us from the factory in Brooklyn N. Y.

The installation of this machine will do away with all hand composition on The Democrat and place us in a position to do almost any olass of work that comes along of work that comes along expeditiously and in a more satisfactory manner, in every way. This machine is of the same kind and capacity precisely as those used in the big city offices and the fact that no other office in Jasper or our adjoining counties Newton, Benton, Carroll, Warren, Starke or White counties has a Standard Linotye speaks louder than words can express of what this means to The Democrat’s mechanical equipment. Benton and Pulaski' counties have one

each of the older model of these machine—the Leader at Fowler and the Democrat at Winamac. By its addition The Democrat, with its Babcock cylinder newspaper press, two jobbers, folder, large paper cutter, Boston Staple Binder, and its excellent selection of job type and other equipments, becomes one of the best filled offices in northwestern Indiana for newspaper and general job printing. We print herewith a cut of the new machine and when we get it in and in operation we will tell you more about it and we want i The Democrat’s friends to call in i and see it in operation. Its in- ! ventiou was one of the wonders iof the nineteenth century and marked on epach iu the newspaper and printing business. The great cost of the machine has prevented their general introduction in the smaller cities and towns, and only a few of the more progressional ! newspapers haye added them to 1 their mechanical equipment.
