ESCRIPTIONS AND SRICES OF PRESSES

EXCELSIOR HAND-INKING PRESSES,

The engraving represents the Press open as it stands when not in use. The
frame A is one solid casting with the bed of the press, against which the chase B,
in which the types are held, is placed. The chase is made on our patented plan,
having a bottom, which has proved an immense success. The use of this chase
will render the expense of an imposing stone unnecessary ; makes it possible to
set forms directly in chase if desired ; renders it easy to move forms about in
chase, for correcting, etc., without danger of making a* pi, a very annoying
mishap which often occurs in using other presses. With any other press,
accidents and delays retard progress, which is impossible with the Excelsior.
On the swinging platen D rests the sheet to be printed. The impression is given
by a downward pressure on the lever E. The lever is double, making two
connections with platen, giving immense power, and rendering a spring or twist
impossible. This Excelsior lever is a most perfect thing, giving the advantages
possessed by a side arm press, but without the annoyance the side arms prove to
be to the printer. Hence, a sheet of any desired margin may be printed. The
impression is regulated by hand screws pissing through the bed of the press and
raising or lowering the chase to the finest adjustment, easily, quickly, perfectly.
The chase is placed in press without any hand-fastening ; it is self-locking. On
the ink table C, which is removable for cleaning, is placed the ink, which is
applied to the type by a light, convenient hand roller. To this ink table is
applied a novel and original contrivance which prevents handle of ink roller
becoming daubed. The speed of the press depends upon circumstances. From
300 to 1000 impressions per hour are made, according to size of the sheet.

EXCELSIOR SELF-INKING PRESSES

I

The mechanical arrangements are almost precisely the same as in the
hand-inkers, excepting that inking rollers are added which are operated by
the action of the press. The arms which carry the inking: rollers are moved
by a connecting bar from the platen. The circular ink table revolves at each
impression, giving perfect distribution, and the rollers pass twice over the
form at each impression. Gripping fingers attached to the platen hold sheets
in place for printing and remove them from the type. The advantage of the
self-inker over the nand-inker is mainly in speed, Speed is increased because
both hands are free, one to feed in paper, the other to work the lever. Any
printer having a good run of work, or expecting it, needs a self-inker because
from 600 to 2,000 impressions may be ran, saving 50 per cent, in time. And
anyone who will frequently have jobs of several thousand copies needs a fast
press. But those whose work is limited to an occasional job, or small jobs of
a few hundred, will be entirely satisfied with a hand-inker, and we advise it,
unless they feel willing to pay slightly higher for the sake of a more complete
machine and a little easier work.

jy OTARY power Machine for faster
work, in private or job offices.
Carries two rollers, revolving ink-
plate, and gives very thorough distri-
bution. It is extremely simple in all
its arrangements, having precisely the
same regulation of impression, patent
Chase, and Grippers, as all other
Excelsior Presses. Balance-wheel
about 100 pounds weight. Solid Iron
Stand. The power is given by a com-
pound lever, having connection with
a rocking Platen, giving powerful,
steady, easy, and rapid action. Good
dwell on the impression, — which is
necessary to good work — and rest for
feeding. No side arms to obstruct
feeding of large sheets. Built of the
best materials in the most substantial

manner, and warranted to do perfect
work. It is a Press for work, has all
its gears and levers inside of frame,
out of dust and danger, and is built to
do good and long service. Its price
is below anything of equal merit.

An Automatic Card Dropper is ar-
ranged on each press without extra
charge, for which other press builders
charge extra. It consists of a Gauge
for feeding cards, tags, tickets, etc., on
which is arranged an ingenious device
which trips it at each impression, drop-
ping the card into a box beneath the
Press, and again resuming its position
to take another card. The printer has
simply to feed the cards. This proba-
bly doubles the speed, giving from
2000 to 3000 impressions per hour.

Size of Chase 8 1-4 by 1211-4 inches. Weight, boxed, about 415 poimds, Price $115.00.
Fitted with power fixtures, pulleys, $6.00 extra. Boxing and shipping, $4.00 extra.

Each Press set up complete when shipped, ready for use the moment it is unpacked. It is accompanied by Rollers, Patent
Chase, Ink Table, Feed Table Bracket, Wrench, and Cabinet Drawer under the Press.

l^T If desired, the ordinary open Chase may be used on the jobber, and it will be so titted if ordered.

teur use, than the verdict of SE VEN . Cen-

Exchanging Presses.

Any one ordering a Press of either size, and wishing a larger one
at any time, can exchange on satisfactory terms by payment of
difference in price. Presses for exchange are to be delivered to us,
charges paid, in good order. The best mode of packing for return
is in box large enough so press will not hit at sides, and pack
tightly with dry, clean sawdust.

With every Press we send out Is included frill
printed Instructions on every point, by which
any purchaser can manage type-setting, press-
work, etc., successfully and satisfactorily. The
Pamphlet also gives hints and suggestions 011
advertising, starting Papers, prices to charge for
Job Work, etc., etc. (Price 15 cts. if wanted
without a Press.)

JSPECIAL j^OTICE IS J^ALLED TO THE j^OLLOWING y ACTS

There is no danger of the Excelsior getting out of order. It is simple, strong, durable, and its working understood instantly. It is positively
the most economical Press in use, as no imposing stones are necessary, and a great saving is made by our manner of locking up forms,
ruining no expensive furniture ; the combination metal and wood furniture we sell, lasts, while all other Presses require a constant
supply. Everything we have figured with the idea of getting up good, practical outfits at moderate cost, so that all desiring
can afford to buy. It takes very little work to pay for one of our offices. Many an extensive, wealthy publishing
establishment has started with a small office of the kind we sell. Full and explicit directions for use, and a list of prices
to charge for work, accompany each Press. The extreme compactness of the press is admirable, and renders it
convenient and portable to a greater degree than any other. Ordinary printers' types are used in the Excelsior,
eleven-twelfths of an inch long. The short, hand-stamp type will not work in a Press. The Excelsior prints
a single line of type or a chase full perfectly. To ascertain expressage or freight charge on goods to any
point, inquire of your express or freight agent. To ascertain how much type is needed for a certain
job, count the a in your^copy (manuscript), and order accordingly.

READ CAREFULLY.

We want everybody to examine these figures.
We give prices usually charged by regular printers,
"on quite a number of articles, and then name price
it averages to cost to print with an Excelsior:—

Business Cards, per 100, $1 to $3; cost on an Excelsior, 10 cts. to 50 cts i.; Envelopes,
per 1000, $1.25 to $3: cost on Excelsior, 15 cts. to 50 cts. ; Letterheads, per 100, $1 to $3;
cost on Excelsior, 25 cts. to 50 cts. ; Billheads, per 100, $1 to $3; cost on Excelsior, 25 cts.
to 75 cts. ; Labels, per 100, 75 cts. to $3; cost on Excelsior, 10 cts. to 50 cts ; lags, per
1000, $2.50 to $6 : cost on Excelsior, $1 to $3; Note size Circulars, per 1000, $3 to $6;
cost on Excelsior, 75 cts. to $2 ; Milk Tickets, per 500, $2 to $3 ; cost on Excelsior, 30 cts.
Nearly everything else in proportion.

With these prices in view all can see that a small job office vtiMpay in any place, and that a business man cannot save money as fast
in any way, as in doing his own work.

IT IS .A. MISTAKE

If any one imagines it is a long job to learn type setting and to do good printing. Any one of ordinary intelligence can, by the aid of the
very excellent, concise instructions we send, learn the first principles very quickly, and then " practice makes perfect. 1 '
^=Many take hold instantly, and have a very presentable job done in a few hours after receiving their Press.

a more convenient pre -, and business men will find it a lasting
benefit." The Merchant's and Manufacturer's Review says :—
" For beautiful simplicity, great strength, durability, and cheapness,
this press is without a rival." The Phrenological Journal, says :—
" We are acquainted with no small press superior to it, and certainly
not one can rival it in cheapness. It is at once a source of amuse-
ment, instruction, and profit." The Spirit of the Times, says :—
"Furnishes a world of amusement in the home circle, instructing
as well as entertaining? ' The South says:— "Said by parties
familiar, with all the known portable presses to be the very best.
It economizes time, it fives money, and it insures promptitude,"
The Iowa State says:— "Many a man has commenced

with one of these o&'e.es and made it the beginning of a fortune."
The Meriden Daily Recorder says :—" Messrs. Kelsey & Co. are
selling presses at prices below all others, they do the finest work,
hence give unbounded ; ;,; !sfaction." The Meriden Daily Republi-
can says : — " The best presses we have seen in all our experience,
