The Miehle press was recently installed

best manner possible. •

There are eight correspondents .'from
nearby towns who bring to our "attention

We invite your kindly criticism of pur
changed number, cordially invite you to
visit our plant and.solicit your co-opere-tion
not alone in the growth and devel-opment
of our own department but in
the building up of the little town in
which we live, of which we are a part
of, for which we should have a special
pride.
The present issue was printed on the
new Miehle press which is probably the
leading press on the market. " It is the
same as the ones that 'are in use iri the

press is ten and one-half tons* and; its
practical speed is 2,000 per hour. "I With

The Hershey Press is in the midst of a
progressive, developing, enlarging en-vironment;
it has corresponded with its
environment and it too has 'lived, has
grown and enlarged itself. We, are
pleased to present to our readers the
19th number of the 2nd volume of the
Press, a number considerably changed
iri form and style. ,
The first number of our local paper
was presented to its readers on Septem-ber
3 and consisted of 8 pages. On De-cember
12 • it was increased to twelve,
and on March 18 it was again increased,
this time to 18 pages. The paper will
still have the same number of pages,
but the size of the page has been con-siderably
increased. The front page
has been changed three times.
For some time the equipment of the
Hershey printing plant .was not ade-quate
to meet the demands of the in-creasing
business. To meet this de-mand
the amount of type has been dou-bled,
including every size and style
