THE JOURNAL INSTALLS
A LINOTYPE MACHINE
The editor of The Journal
is pleased to announce to the
many readers of this paper
that we have just completed
the installation of one of the
latest model Linotype ma
chines and the type for the1
paper will hereafer be set
on this machine.
The installation of this ma
chine which does the work of
five or six printers will enable
us to publish a much better
paper and meet the require
ments that are constantly
being made upon the live
and progressive newspaper
that strives to keep in line
with the onward march of
progress.
The decision to install this
machine was reached only af
ter careful consideration. It
is true that the present fi
nancial conditions are
not such as to encourage one
in the expenditure of large
sums of money for additional
equipment in any line of
business. But as The Journal
has often said before, we
have an abiding faith in the
future of Newark, Indepen
dence county and the entire
state of Arkansas. Present
financial conditions have not
shaken our faith in the least.
We have, right here around
Newark, the greatest commu
ity in the entire state. Our
possibilities are unlimited,
and great developements are
bound to come.
The present temporary fi
nancial depression will soon
give way to the coming of
general prosperity, and a
great era of progress and ad
vancement lies just ahead.
The installation of this ma
chine is costing The Journal a
large sum of money and we
will sincerely appreciate it if
all our friends will get busy
and do a little substantial
boostng for the paper by
giving us a little more busi
ness or inducing your neigh
bor who is now borrowing
your paper to come in and
subscribe. We need and are
expecting your assistance in
paying for this machine and
we do not believe that you
will disappoint us.
