LINOTYPE AD AND JOB BORDERS

Brother Publishers Invited to Look Over Those Made By The Democrat. The cheapest and best borders for advertising and job printing in use to-day are linotype borders. They are easily handled, wear well, and cost only a small fraction of what regular type-foundry borders cost. The Democrat makes several styles of 6-point borders on its linotype, most of which are shown in this issue in advertisements. These bor“ ders are cast 30 ems long, and can be cut to any desired length. They can be used single or double or, in in combination, making any width of border desired. A 24-point border sufficient to go around a page ad costs at least $3, and can be used where a heavy border is required,. Six point linotype borders can easily be doubled up where a heavy border is desired and cost but little for enough to reach around a page. They can also be used for 6, 12 or 18 point border while the expensive 24-polnt type-foundry border can only be used for the one purpose. For an economical, time-saving border, use the linotype border 30 em lengths, which is sold by The Democrat at 5 cents per slug, or 50 cents for 12 slugs equaling 60 inches.
