the above caption, I, endeavored to give
your .readers a description of that I saw
of interest in and around New York, but
finding that by finishing Illy_ subject. I
would be encroaching upon both the tin:
and patience of the reader and the apace
of the Editor, I was forced to divide my
lettit. •
On Monday morning I visited the oflice
of the leading Democratic organ ' of :the
city, the .Neto York World. The printing
press used in this establishment for the
issue of the daily is' a very interesting and
Complicated piece of machinery. . The
press prints, cuts and folds the paper, re-
quiring no other assistance than that which
is afforded bythe engine, the paper being
fed•from several• immense--rolle'atIhe-rate
• of 300 per minute. It would semi mono-
tonous to your readers were/ to recount
my experience in the different printing of-
fices, suffice it to say, that the .smetier* was
to.. ilia one .of__great :pleasure_• and profit
However, I cannot forego this opportunity
of giving them the benefit of my observa,
tions • i.i the colossal' publishing house of
Harper Brothers. The world-widerepu-
tation and immense wealth of :this concern
was . only obtained hya thorough know -
`ledge of, and strict attention to business,
which has now: beent,established .over half
a century; and enjuys'the one enviable po-
sition of being the largest of the. kind in
the world, .From 1825 t'o 1869 the •firm.
consisted Of -the -lour Harper' brothers, all
'of whom• have since died.' • The 'firtn.now
consists of sons of the original members.
The buildings of. this ostablishment•occupy
a plat of ground, about half an acre,, on
Franklin.Sq'nare running through -to Oiifle
street. The Franklin square building' is
seven stories high with iron front, and is
principally used aft offices and warerooms.
Phe. Cliffe .street building is also seven
stories high, `but is wholly of brick, and is
regarded -;I the manufactory proper Be-
tween the two. buildings is a courtyard,
which serves a variety • of purposes. In
the centre;' of this yard stands a round, iron
tower, inclosing a staircase, being the only
means of , access to- the upper ,stories of
either -building , the buildings-LLbeing-con ;
atructed.withou.t openings in the,floors as
a precaution against 'fire. • They • are said
to be built hi such a way thatit is.imposi-
bre that a fire could communicate from one.
room to another;,In •this'yard May 'able
be seena steam elvator fur raising or low-
ering gouda.: ;The buildings are connected
from each story. by'►neans 'of light iron
bridges thrown .across the court.
;L pon entering the building• 1 found my-
self in^au elegantly furnished apartment,
which is the sanctum of 'the Brothers. In
this room were desks, sofas and easy chairs
for, persons having business with. the house.
Upon signing my namo in a register, I re-
ceived an order "pees" to go through the
estatlishment, without • which no . per-
son is allowed'in the buildings. And now,:
if the reader will accompany mo to the,
lower'stories of the beildings, we wilt re-
view the manifold operations of "making.

first floor of the ,Cliffe street building.

circular iron stairway, mbntioned'.above,
and make our; way to the second ,floor of
the Cliffe street b]rilding,•which: is occupied
by book presses of, all:the improved kinds.
Extra fine book work has'always been.the
aim of .the Harper Brothers—to be Sur-
passed .by no one -and no one will' dispute
the fact that they have been eminently
successful.: This house issue annually

Shipping ,room for Hfaliiers,' 'Weekly ;and
Bazaar, ° We neat visit the third floor Of
the Cliffe street building, which is used as
a drying room.When the sheet of paper
leaves the ,press, it is datnp and wrinkled,
and.•has a rough uneven initiate, caused by
the indention made upon it by the .type.
These sheets are brought to this room, and
a number of boys and girls are employed
inlaying them'io •largo piles; consisting of
a 'sheet of pasteboard and ono of paper all
ternatel3 . They are then- submitted. to -a
pressure equal to upwards of a million,
•pounds. Under such a pressure all inden-
tations, of course, disappear, For this our-
pose the hydraulic press is used- worked
1]y means of a steam pump—ten of which
stand at one end of the room. We next
cross over to the third floor of the Pearl'
street • building, ; whore we fines a, large
number• more of book presses. There is
'Moo a mailing department in this roam.
The fourth floor of Cliffe street building•
next occupies our attention, where are to
be seen a largo number of folding machines.
These are certainly a great improvement
.over the old style of folding by hand, and
my only' wonder is that so many book
binders in Canada should be satisfied to
follow•tho old method of their fore -fathers.
The machines are operated by girls, and
the folding is done very accurately', and at
a very rapid rate, The fourth floor of
Pearl street is occupied principally asstore
rooms. In the •fifth • floor of Cliffe street
building, stitching and .covering books: is
carried on—a11•d'one by machinery.. The.
editorial, engraving, and artists rooms ate
on the fifth floor of Pearl street building ;
the visitor is not allowed to visit there,
Sixth floor, Cliffe street building, is occu-
pied as the bindery. Here a' large staff of
competent men -are employed, who, do the
e work, with the aid of maohtnery, at a very
rapid rate. Woolen are employed to de
the embossing on the covers. Sixth floor,
Pearl street, is used as .stock rooms. Iii
the seventh floor of Cliffe street building
the electrotyping is done. In all •o£ the
daily offices in New York' the paper is
never printed direct- from the type; as the
• large number of copies to be'.printed Would
wear out type in a few weeks. After the
typo had been "set" and put in shape in
pages, a oast is, taken of each page, and.
the paper or book is printed from these
-casts, ...When- it -•is :--not--dtesirable� •ta prem•
.serve these casts•or plates, they are usual-'
ly cast from the. same, material from which
type is' made,but when these plates are
required'to be kept, as of a book, for fu-
ture use, they. are made by..a more tedious...
and expensive Process, 'called electrotyp-
ing. ' , Electrotype plates• have a copper
surface; so that they ' will. endure fully.
double the wear of the other kind. This,
then, is what is done in the electrotyping,.
room, The last roolns now to be visited
are the composing rooms. These are situ-
ated in the Pearl street building,, seventh
floor, a great'many employees are engaged
in this building, both men°and women.
Here, then, :is this immense establishment,
employing upwards of 600Ylpinds, and we
hold it up as a wonder. 13ut New York
has hundreds .ofmanufactories, many
of them as large and employing as many
hands. I think it would .be well if:we
would oftener hold up for imitation the
businees tact and "push" of our neighbors
across the line, by showing what they have.
accomplished. It must be with a certain
degree, of sadness that a Canadian views.
