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. writer. • We hope yon`will grow accust . omed to our new appearance.
