RICES

RESSES.

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 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 T> 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 passing 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,

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 eacli
impression, giving perfect distribution, and the rollers pass twice over the
form at each impression. Gripping fingers attached to the platen bold sheets
in place for printing and remove them from the type. The advantage of the
self-inker over the hand-inker is mainly in speed, bpeed 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 run, 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.

TREADLES.

CABINET FORM.

When it can be afforded, order your press
with a Cabinet, as shown in first engraving.
It has places for 10 type cases, drawer for
tools, etc., and brackets for holding a case
when setting type. Price only $3.50. (With
10 cases, $9.50.)

Nos. 1 and 2 Se lf-Inkers carry one Roller and no Grippers, being used mostly for cards.

Foot Treadles furnished for any press
above, with spring complete, for $2.00 extra.
In some cases it is an advantage, though
it is seldom necessary.

FEED TABLES.

At side of the self-inker is shown a little
table on a bracket. It makes easier feeding.
One bracket, given with every press, on
which any shaped board desired may be
fastened. Extra brackets 30 cents each.

jD OTAEY power Machine l'or 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
;i rocking Platen, giving powerful,
steady, easy, and rapid action. Good
dwell on the impression,— which is
necessary to good work — and rest for
feuding. 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 3U00 impressions per hour.

Size of Chase 8 1-4= by 12fI-4 inches. Weight, boxed, about 475 potfnds, Price $115.00.
Fitted with power fixtures, pulleys, $6.00 extra. Boxing and shipping. $4.00 extra.

J^A

CTS

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 onr 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 vert little work to pat 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.

With these prices in view all can i

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. ; Envelopes,

cost on Excelsior, 75 cts. to $2 ; Milk Tickets, per 500, $2 to $3 ; cost on Excelsior, 30 ctB.
Nearly everything else in proportion.

that a small job office win pay in any place, and that a business man cannot save money as fast

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."
{^"Many take hold instantly, and have a very presentable job done in a few hours after receiving their Press.

T'Ul^r 14- A fine outfit, Excelsior Press and materials, requires but a comparatively small outlay. Suppose, for instance,

1 fllllK 01 II. $60 be invested ; the interest on that sum at 10 per cent., is $6 a year. One small job often more than pays that!

W* Postal Cards offer an exceedingly neat, novel, cheap, and convenient mode of circulating an advertisement. They may be
printed on an Excelsior of either size.

Simply the printing of Visiting, Address, and Business Cards can be made a good business anywhere. Everybody
wants them, and they pay a good profit.

J3F" Sharp, Ingenious Advertising Dodges are daily invented. If you have a Press at hand you can take advantage of
them and make them pay you.

WE never make any such claim as that no other good press can be built beside own
portable presses, and the Centennial test proved it.

but we do claim that the Excelsior is the best of

fe know of one $6 Excelsior Press on which the owner did over $700 worth of work inside of three months.

r ~pHE EXCELSIOE is no new untried press, and its proprietors are not green in their business. The press has been before the public
