The Monotype

In March, 1909, The World
Installed Four Machines

In October, 1909, The World
Doubled Its Equipment

Mr. Don C. Seitz, Business Manager of The New York World, says: "We have had the Monotypes in active use now for six months and I think they have clearly vindicated their claim as a useful adjunct in the display work of a daily newspaper. They have materially cut down the amount of distribution, have saved us large sums in investment for new type and have improved the appearance of the paper greatly. The difficulty we encountered with hand type due to its elongation in the steam tables and thereby rendering figures illegible and creating bad plates in the Stereotyping Department, has vanished. Our people have had little difficulty in mastering the machine and I can say without hesitation that it is a real success."

Dear Sir: Our installation of Monotype machines has been in use a little over one year and I am free to say that we are well pleased. The appearance of tabular work produced on them is symmetrically correct, a great advantage in market reports, base-ball records, etc. For setting the body portion of display advertising we find them far more speedy than our other machines, and the advantage of being able to make corrections from the case greatly facilitates the work in the ad-corner.

The matrix service enables us to get any special face to suit the fancy of the advertiser, a matter that often induces him to increase his advertising space with us. The machines have exceeded expectations and we would not be without them. ENQUIRER COMPANY,

ED. FLICKER, Business Manager.

Mr. W. W. Leech, Publisher of the "Chicago Evening American," says: Gentlemen: It is with pleasure I report to you on the workings of the Monotype machine in our office. After a trial of several months I find that it is a great success and meeting the requirements of our office in every way. We find it very economical in casting type and a great saving in distribution in the advertising end.

W. W. LEECH, Publisher.

Mr. W. M. Dear, Advertising Manager "Evening Journal," Jersey City,

says:

1. As a type caster: We have never seen its equal. The cheapness of casting, the quickness of work and the absence of blow holes, resulting in a type of remarkable solidity, which stands up under the most severe usage, in every way equal to foundry cast type, scores one point in favor of the Monotype.

2. Casting of sorts: No time is lost in doing this to any required amount. 3. In setting ads: Broken measure has lost its terror as we are not obliged to lose the time consumed heretofore in cutting linotype slugs.

4. Facility of correction: due to the fact that the type is cast individually, corrections are made from the case with the greatest facility.

THE EVENING JOURNAL ASSOCIATION,

W. M. DEAR, Advertising Manager.

Mr. Frank S. Baker, Advertising Manager "The Cleveland Plain Dealer," says:

(over)

Gentlemen: We have now used your Monotype machine for eight months in our composing room as a type caster and composing machine. As a type caster, we have found it very efficient.

We use the Monotype as a composing machine on Saturday nights and when we need extra composition in the rush hours with considerable satisfaction. We have been able to cast all our head letters and display type of certain sizes on the machine, which is at a great advantage in cost over the foundry type.

We feel that our own men are competent to handle and operate the machine so that we can use it without any increase in our pay-roll. This, we consider an advantage, and we feel satisfied that the machine will do the work for which it is intended.

Gentlemen: We have decided to retain in our composing room the double Monotype equipment, as we find it very useful in setting our advertisements. We enclose you herewith check in settlement of our account.

POST PUBLISHING COMPANY,

By E. W. GROZIER, Publisher.

Mr. H. C. Milholland, Business Manager of "The Pittsburg Press," says:

Dear Sir: In accordance with contract we have with you under date of January 30, 1908, for one of your Monotype Type Casting Machines and Motor, we beg to advise you that we accept the same, as it has given perfect satisfaction up to this time, and we believe will do all you claim.

H. C. MILHOLLAND, Business Manager.

Mr. Edward McLean, Business Manager of "The Washington Post," Washington, D. C., says:

Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiry as to our experience with the Monotype, we have been running a Monotype equipment in our Composing Room for six months. The equipment was primarily purchased to use on ad composition, and it has more than lived up to the claim you have made for it on this work.

In ad composition the capacity of the composing machine to handle broken measure and automatically insert in the text "cut in figures" up to the thirtysix point, with no hand work, has proved a great time saver in the ad department. On especially difficult work the result has been remarkable, as, for instance, the delivery of a complete racing form of twenty thousand ems agate, double price, in two hours; copy to type on one machine.

THE WASHINGTON POST CO.,

EDWARD MCLEAN, Business Manager.

Mr. Jas. P. Considine, "The North American," Philadelphia, Pa., says: Dear Sir: Replying to your request for our experience with your Monotype machines, beg leave to state they have been in constant use in our Composing Room for the past eighteen months, and have found them satisfactory and economical in the operation of our plant.

The production of display type as to quantity and quality is indeed remarkable, and we feel as a result we are to-day equipped with a supply of display type unsurpassed by any newspaper. The producing capacity of one of your casters at times has exceeded one hundred pounds of display type in an eight hour run. As a result space material and sorts are always at hand resulting in time and labor saving.

We have found the Monotype on difficult styles of ad composition, box scores, stock tables, etc., to be entirely satisfactory. The adaptability and the facility with which the individual type can be corrected on difficult composition is a good feature.

The ability of the machine to insert automatically 36-point display figures in the text of the ads without hand work eliminates one of the most laborious features of ad composition.

Our experience with the machine, as previously stated, has been very satisfactory, and we will be very glad to confirm this to any newspaper representative who desires to call and witness the operation.

Yours very truly,

THE NORTH AMERICAN,

(Signed) JAS. P. CONSIDINE.
