The reasons for our change to

linotype ahe.many. The, availab•-
ility f skilled help in the print-
ing trade is the biggest one. Lin
otype operators are•. very, very
scarce. ,Particularly one that has
a general . knowledge of all phases
of printing as required in a- small
shop such as ours. Economy is a
,big
.reason f r the change., The
linotype machine, purchased new,
would cost .over. $15;000 .while the
IBM typewriter,, purchased new,
.was slightly over $800". The mai-.
ntenance on a linotype machine
is high while the maintenance on `
a typewriter is practically nothing
in comparison. Some months ago
we purchased a new set of mats
for the linotype which cost. us
nearly as much as the new type.
