WHAT THEY SAY OF THE DEMOCRAT'S NEW LINOTYPE.

The Jasper County Democrat will install a linotype machine of the latest design.—Fowler Republican, The Editor of the Rensselaer Democrat has ordered a new Linotype setting machine, and has not inherited any money either. —Benton Review, The Jasper County Democrat has invested in a linotype. In other words, a type setting machine like those used on the big dailies. This is an advanced step for country weeklies, as the machines cost in the neighborhood of $3,500. —Kentland Enterprise. Bro. Babcock, editor of the Democrat, is evidently prospering and we are glad of it. He has contracted for a $3,500 linotype machine which he will put in in a short time. It is one of the most modern models and together with his already well equipped office he will have one of the most up-to-date printing plants in this part of the state. —Goodland Herald. Bro. Babcock, of the Jasper County Democrat has contracted to have installed in bis plant a linotype machine, Mr. Babcock is already getting out a “rattling” good paper and with the aid of the new machine will no doubt do still better, which will place his paper in the front rank in Northern Indiana. His success at Rensselaer has been rather surprising in such a field for a Democratic paper, but he has merited it all. —Lake County New. The Jasper County Democrat at Rensselaer, has contracted with Mergenthaler Co. for installation of one of their late model No. 5 Linotype type setting machines to be installed in its office by April Ist. That the Democrat is enjoying unparalled prosperity is evidenced by its ability to put in a machine of this kind. The cost of the machine ordered is $3,500. Brother Babcock gets out one of the best papers that comes to our table and certainly deserves the success he enjoys.—Morocco Courier. Frank E. Babcock, the ever anxious to improve editor of the Jasper County Democrat, has taken a step which will make his office one of the most complete and best furnished offices in Northern Indiana. At the expense of about $3,500 he will install a Mergenthaler linotype machine, which will do away with all of the hand composition in bis office. This machine is identical with those used in large city offices and its installation in the Democrat office means that Editor Babcock is not in the business for his health, but is significant that he is doing an ever increasing business.—Mt. Ayr Pilot The Jasper County Democrat is coming to the front with one of the best equipped printing offices in Northern Indiana. Bro. Babcock has contracted for a standard linotype of the latest make at a cost of about $3,500 and expects to have it in operation by April 1. The Democrat adds that its new 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 its adjoining counties of Newton, Benton, Carroll, Warren, Pulaski Starke or White counties has a standard linotype speak louder than words can express of what this means to the Democrat’s mechanical equipment, except Benton and Pulaski counties which have one each of the old model of these machines.—Winamac Demo-crat-Journal.
