The Times-Recorder announces today another step for
ward in the program of the management to give Americus and
Sunder county a better and greater newspaper. An order has
been placed for early delivery of a new linotype of the most
modern design, a Model '4, equipped with the latest devices—
a machine which is revolutionizing the printing industry. The
cut is a likeness of the new machine.
This machine, which is a monster in size, is what is
known as a ‘multiple magazine" machine, from which seven
diffeient styles and sizes of type may be set without the operator
leaving his seat.
Such a machine will prove of great value to the merchants
and others of the community using advertising space, as it will
pein.it of the use of absolutely new and perfect type for all but
the largest lines in every advertisement appearing. It will also
increase the capacity of The Times-Recorder's composing room
by permitting to be done at greatly increased speed by machine
wltal has heretofore been done by the slow hand process.
This giant machine is equipped with an “auxiliary” maga
zine. extending out to the right at the top in the picture, from
which the larger head type will be set, permitting of a great sav
ing of time and labor over the plan now.in use.
The machine is electrically equipped throughout, being
driven by electric motor and having an electrically heated metal
por. which is a great improvement over the more common style of
gas-heated pots; insuring an even temperature of molten metal,
which is necessary for first-class results.
This machine is being installed by The Times-Recorder at
a cost of $4,500, and it is but a single item of new and modern
equipment that is being added from time to time and will con
tinue to be added with the growth of the paper and its patron
age, until this newspaper is the leader in South Georgia.
The management of The Times-Recorder has great faith
in the present and future of Americus. It is willing to stake its
all on the home town, ft believes that Americus and Sumter
county have a wonderful future, and that the time to-start gra&-
bing the opportunities coming our way is right now. The
Times-Recorder under the present management has already
mote than outgrown its present equipment, and, with bigger
thing" in sight, preparations are being made to be in a position to
take care of its share of the prosperity that is coming to this sec
tion of the South.
