FROM FEATHERED PEN TO FAST PRESSES

Early books were produced in nionastries—laboriously hand-written and elaborately ornamented by monks, who took years to produce a single book. Now, however, one high-speed press can, in a single day, the life-: time production of an entire monastery. Through the .magic of modern printing, facts, information, news can be quickly spread to the masses. _ The works of Coulls, Somerville. Wilkie are geared to this modern need for speed; quill pen methods have no place here. In the Lithography Department is a Crabtree Ensign Two-colour Super Offset. This British machine is capable of printing a 33in by 48in sheet in two colours at 3,250 per hour. The seal machine, one of many interesting additions to the plant, die-cuts, prints, and embosses the beautiful seals that adorn perfumery bottles and packages, chocolate boxes and other such commodities.

But speed must join hands with quality. Whether it is .a small business card or letter heading, an advertising folder or booklet, or beautiful colour picture, elaborate package label or showcard —Coulls, Somerville, Wilkie, Ltd. have facilities for producing the work by Letterpress, Lithography, or Photo litho.
