Suppos-
THE LINOTYPE
Newspapers, periodicals and books
are much cheaper today than they
were a generation ago and one of
the marvellous inventions which
made cheap printing possible is the
linotype. Because or the fact that
the credit has been given persistent
ly elsewhere, the Canadian people
are apt to forget that the inventor
was a Canadian, an Ottawa man,
Georgia Pringle Drummond. Drum
mond’s machine was working for
more than a decade in tbe Dominion
capital before it was introduced in
any other .country.
In the year 1877, Drummond com
pleted his invention and ran the first
molten type-metal slug or printing
surface 'bar in the world. The speed
was not very much short of the fast
machines of today. In that year he
filed patents with the Canadian of
fice at Ottawa and the United States
in Washington.
On the tragedy which deprived
Drummond of his patent rights, we
need not dwell here. Su'ffice it to
say that he never received a cent
for his invention. However, his
name lives as a great Canadian who
gave the publishing world one of its
harp advances. He died in 1890.
'There are about two thousand
machines’ operating in Canada to
day with an approximate value of
ovei* 7 million dollars, The circula
tion of daily newspapers of all 'kinds
runs to considerably over two million
copies and the speed with which
news of t'he world is presented to
readers is due in large measure to
the linotype.
This information comes from the
General Manufacturers Branch of
the Dominion Bureau of Statistics,
Department of Trade and Commerce.
Everybody iowes the world some
thing, and high budgets are keeping
them back in their payments.
I’ORTBAFT OF KING FOB NEW
BANK NOTES
On the new bilingual notes of the
Bank of Canada, tbe portrait of
King Edward VIII will be the only
royal portrait. On the present notes
portraits of t'he late King George V.
Queen Mary, King Edward as Prince
of Wales, the Princess Royal, the
Princess Elizabeth, the Duke of
York and the Duke of Kent appear
on notes of different denomination.
'The new bank notes will be out
aboiut August, next year, and a por
trait otf His Majesty will appeal’ on
all denominations except the $1,000
note, which will carry a portrait of
Sir Wilfrid Laurier as at present,
and the $100 note on which Sir John
A. McDonald’s likeness will appear.
(Sir John’s picture is now on the
$5 00 note which will be discontinu
ed.
The portrait of His Majesty chos
en is regarded as a fine one. It
will be plain in design as in the
case of the new postage stamps.
