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. three years.
