GENERAL INFORMATION

Directions tor Ordering Supplies

»-v UBLISHERS are earnestly requested to carefully consider their supply orders before placing them. We cannot exchange or give credit for matrices, molds, or other supplies furnished on order, as the labor and expense of testing, inspecting and sorting forbid our doing so. Supplies thus furnished are therefore useless to us if returned.

K

Customers are cautioned to carefully observe the instructions given below when ordering supplies. By so doing they will avoid mistakes, and save time and trouble.

When ordering matrices use printed Matrix Order Blanks, which we supply free on request.

State plainly name of font and number of face desired, specifying whether fractions are wanted, and if so whether they are to be on an "em" or "en" or "figure" "set," and whether they are to be run in keyboard, pi box, or in special channel.

When ordering sets of caps or lower case matrices, state if a to z only are wanted.

If you are using No. 1 faces with No. 2 table characters, or No. 2 faces with No. 1 table characters, or any other combination of faces, please specify this in your order.

When ordering italics, black faces, or special matrices, always specify whether they are to run pi or in the magazine.

When ordering 1 1 -point Gothic head letter matrices, state whether they are to be used on 9-point or 1 1 -point body.

Matrices for sorting up can be furnished, independent of sets, in any quantities.

If you are in doubt as to the number of the face you are using, send a lower case "n" matrix.

Fractions in German faces are always furnished to run in the pi box.

We carry in stock pine trays to hold a full set of matrices, which will be found very convenient for handling and storing sets of matrices not in actual use. These we supply at $1 each.

Always state plainly how you wish goods shipped — whether by freight, express, or by mail ; and if a special route is desired, name it. Other- wise we shall exercise our judgment.

It is important that supply orders should be sent either to one of the agencies or to the factory direct, not to the General Office, New York.

Remember that unless your order is plain and in accordance with the above instructions, vexatious delays are liable to occur.

One and two-letter sets in any face from 5-point to 14-point inclusive, if made up according to standard list, are $40 and $66 respectively per set; if changes are required an additional charge will be made.

DUPLICATE CHARACTER MATRICES are made with identic- ally the same character in both positions and can be used in either upper or lower position in connection with one- and two-letter matrices, with- out shifting the line.

TWO-LINE MATRICES are used principally for initial letters and "ads," casting on the first slug and overhanging the second. They can be used for head lines by casting them on an 11 -point body.

SECTIONAL MATRICES are used for advertising work requiring large figures. The top section casts on the first slug and the bottom on the second; the two complete the character.

VERTICAL SLUG MATRICES have the character punched cross- wise of the matrices and cast it horizontally on the slug, permitting the slug to be turned vertically to produce a column of figures in print.

RIVETED MATRICES represent two or more characters combined to produce a single character, logotype, or word. The charge for this style of matrix is 3 cents for each matrix composing the character and 10 cents additional for riveting. For two-letter the price is 4£ cents for each character and 10 cents for riveting.

HAIR SPACES are very thin spaces, grading in .001 of an inch from .012 to .020. They are similar in shape to the "en" and "em" spaces, but are inserted in the line by hand and automatically returned by the

GENERAL INFORMATION

machine to the quad box. These should not be confounded with the regular thin spaces measuring .028, .031, .035, .0385, .042, and .049.

ACCENTED CAPITALS can be furnished reduced in height to cast on a regular body, or made full height to cast on a larger body, the increased thickness to go on the top of the slug.

Superior and Inferior Figures can be used for extended fractions, foot- notes, powers, etc.

Should you return matrices to us at any time, please see that they are carefully assorted by font, face and character — that is, put all A*$ together, all B's together, etc., of each font. By so doing you will save time and expense, as we invariably charge for this work.

If sets are required to be broken and other characters substituted in place of those regularly supplied, it will be done upon request. There will, however, be a charge of $1 per font for doing this, as it entails extra labor and a second handling, as well as inspection and recounting.

ITALIC / AND g REMODELLED. Attention is called to the re- modelled Italic / shown in the following faces: 6-, 8-, 10-, 11-, and 12-point Old Style No. 1. We are remodelling the Italic / in all of our faces, and as rapidly as completed they will be placed in stock. We are also remodelling the Italic g in our Old Style No. 1 faces. When either of the above is desired it should be specially requested.

BORDER MATRICES, to be assembled in lines and used in any Linotype machine in connection with the ordinary mold, do not demand the use of any extra parts in the machine. Order by number and note that the corner pieces have special numbers. Sets of 26 matrices $2.50 ; single matrices 10 cents.

MATRIX SLIDES, complete in one piece, are used in the machine with the regular mold. One quad block must be had to hold the slides, which are interchangeable and produce rules, dashes, and borders in great variety, in every way as perfect as those of brass. Quad Blocks, 13£ to 30 ems, $2.00; 13 ems and under, $1.75. Matrix Slides, any pattern, 13£ to 30 ems, $1.25; 13 ems and under, $1.00.

SPACEBANDS are now made in three classes — thin, thick, and extra thick. The thin bands present a minimum thickness of .032 of an inch and expand to .095 of an inch. These are for use where very thin spacing is desired, as, for example, in connection with very small faces.

Thick bands present a minimum thickness of .0375 of an inch, and expand to .100 of an inch. These bands are most commonly used and are made for use with one- and two-letter matrices.,

Extra thick bands present a minimum thickness of .047 of an inch, and expand to .147 of an inch. They were especially designed to save hand spacing where large German matrices are used on short newspaper measure, and can also be used with 12-point faces, or where wide spacing is desired.

THE MOST ancient materials employed for recording events were bricks, tiles, shells, and tables of stone. The modes of writing on these different substan- ces were various. The tiles and brick were impressed with a stamp when in a soft state; the shells and tablets of stone were etched or graven, the fig- ures or characters being cut in their surface, and in some cases also stained with various colors. It was by the ancient art of stamping that the walls, palaces, and towers of Babylon were covered with hieroglyphics, which have but recently been brought to light from under the immense mounds of Meso- potamia by Layard and other explorers. The patriarch Job, who is supposed to have lived about 2,300 years after the creation, exclaimed, "O that my words were now written!

THE MOST ancient materials employed for recording events were bricks, tiles, shells, and tables of stone. The modes of writing on these different substances were various. The tiles and brick were impressed with a stamp when in a soft state; the shells and tablets of stone were etched or graven, the figures or characters being cut in their surface, and in some cases also stained with various colors. It was by the ancient art of stamping that the walls, palaces, and towers of Babylon were covered with hieroglyphics, which have but recently been brought to light from under the immense mounds of Mesopotamia by Layard and other explorers.
