T'he Holly Wood type used by us on our cylinder press has proven very satisfactory, and as yet shows no signs of wear or breaking, after six months’ use. J. M. Lawton, Foreman Sentinel Job Room. Office of Riverside Printing Co., J Printers and Engravers, > Milwaukee, Dec. 24. ) Messrs. Hamilton Katz. Dear Sirs: We have used your Wdiite Holly Wood Type in our office for the past six months; some of it is in daily use on cylinder presses; it wears well, retains a smooth surface, and does not break off. Can heartily recommend it for heavy faces, such as Clarendons, Antiques, Gothics, &c. Riverside Printing Co. jL^T'he Riverside is one of the largest show printing estab- lishments in the West. It works on bags of all descriptions. Office of Hart, Bradley & Co., J Bag Manufac'I'urers, [■ 160 and 162 Lake St., cor. I.a Salle, Chicago, 111 . ) Messrs. JIaniiltoii cr* Katz, T^vo Rivers, IVis. Gentlemen: We are using the Type you sold us on our cylinder presses for all classes of bag work, and it gives good satisfaction. As soon as you have other new designs, send us samples, and we will give you other orders. Yours truly, Hari', Bradley & Co. Office of Jewell County Republican. ) Jewell City, Kan. ( Messrs. Hamilton & Katz. Gents: The Holly Wood Type purchased of J. E. Hamilton last August fills the bill to a dot. We consider it as i durable as standard Wood T'yP^? prints as clean, if not cleaner, ! and as it costs less than one-half what other Wood Type cost, we pronounce your improvement a decided benefit to the country publishers. They can now afford to carry a nice as- sortment at a trifling cost. We like it, and shall order more. Respectfully. W’ooDward & Mussicr. Journal Office, Fergus Falls, Minn. y. E. Hamilton, Esq. Dear Sir: After having given your Holly Wood Type a fair trial, as I think, I am free to say that 1 con.sider them all and more than represented. With care, 1 see no reason why they will not prove as serviceable as the standard style. The high prices of W ood Type, with the limited demand for their use in country offices, rendered it impossible for country pub- lishers to afford an assortment of wood letters until you solved the problem with your saw and Holly. The great mass of printers in the country owe you many thanks and a liberal pat- ronage. I have five fonts of your Type, not a single letter of which has yet failed me. Accept my thanks, as a printer’s friend. Respectfully, A. J. UNDERWOOD. Office of Northern Wisconsin News, ) Merrill, Wis. j Messrs. Hamilton ^ Katz. Gents: We have been using the Holly Wood Type for the past six months, and are well satisfied with it. It is dur- able, and the letters perfect. It is the cheapest Wood Type made, and the cheapest in the end for the printer. Yours truly. Canon Hetzel & Co. Indianola, Iowa. We have used the Holly Wood Type on hand and power press, and it has always done good work. Have seen no signs of its failing. Advocate Tribune Co., Show Printers. Office of The Argosy, ^ N1CKER.SON, Kan. ) Messrs. Hamilton & Katz I have been using the Holly Wood Type several months, and am well pleased with it. I have taken good care of it, and it is as good as ever now. Very respectfully, L. C. Brown, Prop. Fairbury, Neb. Dear Sirs: After seYen or eight months of use of the Holly Wood Type, I can conscientiously recommend as giv- ing equally as good impression as the “old style.” It is all right. I would like the figures of the large font I got of you. 1 am yours respectfully, F. Burl Risley, Ihib. Advocate. Miixrank, D. T. Messrs. Hamilton & Katz Dear Sirs: Your letter asking my opinion of your Holly Wood Type is at hand, and in reply will say that I have used it on both hand and job press, and have found it equal to any Wood Type ever used, doing all that any Type will do. With proper care, there is no reason why it will not last as long as any. It is just the thing for a country office, costing about one-half what solid Type does; it enables us to keep a better outfit. Will probably order further soon. Yours truly, E. W. Moore, Prop. Journal. Optic Office, Earned, Kan. I have not used Holly Wood I’ype enough to give it a fair trial, but it has been very satisfactory as far as used. I have used it on powder press with same result as on my other presses. Send me some samples of large figures and their cost. Respectfully, ' T. E. Leftwich. Marshfield, Wis. We have used the Holly Wood Type pupcha.sed of J. E. Hamilton, and it is so far equal to any Wood Type: ' Yours fraternally, C. W. Clark. CouRANT Office, Howard, Kan. Cents: Your Holly Wood Type, for general purposes, is as good as any Wood Type, and less than half as expensive. Yours, &c., Tom. E. Thompson. Fonda, Iowa. I have been using several fonts of your Type for about eight months, and like it very well. Very truly. Geo. Sanborn. Eau Claire, Wis., Messrs ^Hamilton ^ Katz. a 'I'he best recommend I can give you is to request you to forward without delay lower case fonts of Nos. 3 and 4, to fill in with 3 A cap fonts which I already am using. Also send 3 A font of Nos. 55 and 14. The type has been in use for 10 or 12 months on Gordon Presses and have given great satis- faction — no breakage as yet — and I think the Holly Wood Ty])e a God-send to printers generally — particularly those of .small means. • Yours trujy, Chas. B. Walworth. Rossville, Kan. Dear Sirs: We like your Holly Wood Type. W^e use it only on our job press. Kansas Valley Tlmes. Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: We have been using your Holly Wood Type for five months on our Power Presses and have no fault to find as yet. Not a single letter has failed us. We thing bag work the hardest kind of work on type and if your type will stand our kind of work they will stand any other work. We shall soon give you a large order for more. Respectfully, Raymond Bag Co. Monitor Office, Mankato, Kan. Dear Sir: The Holly Wood Type purchased of J.E. Ham- ilton gives entire satisfaction. We use it on a Campbell Cylinder Press, and it works up equal to metal Type, and if properly cared for, we think its lasting qualities good. It is just what printers want — good Type for little money. B. J, Thompson, Publisher. Record Office, Detroit, Minn. Dear Sirs: After using Wood Type of your manufacture in this office for upwards of one year, and having given it a thor- ough and severe test, I do not hesitate in pronouncing it “just the thing.” It does not warp, check or crack, and the faces of my Type are as firm upon the bases as when new. I think the 'I'ype are fully as good as the old and high-priced article, and will stand fully as rough usage. With the aid of this TyP^> there is no reason why every country newspaper office should not have a good assortment of poster work. Very truly yours. Geo. D. Hamilton. Midland, Mich. Air. y. IV. RJiines. I have been using Hamilton Holly Wood Type for some time in the Sun office, and as far as my experience with it has gone, must pronounce it eminently satisfactory. When one reflects that it costs only one-half as much as other Wood d'ype, and w'ill do better work, its value will begin to be appreciated. Yours respectfully, Franks. Burfon, Publisher. Reporter Office Sharon, Wis. Mr. 'y. E. Ha 7 nilton. Dear Sir: Are using several fonts of your White Holly- Wood Type, on a jobber and hand press. Have no fault to find. It gives a clearer impression than any other Wood Type, and takes ink more readily. It is good enough for us, and we shall order more. Very respectfully, Phelps & Fiegans. ' Two Rivers, Wis. Messrs Hamilton cV Katz. Dear Sirs: In reply to your inquiry, I will say that the Holly Wood Type purchased from you something over two years ago suits me beyond anticipation. It takes ink better, and makes a smoother letter than the old-fashioned Wood Type. I am convinced that it will wear, and as it costs less than one- half what other Wood Type costs, it is just the thing for small newspaper and job offices. I gladly recommend it to printers and publishers. Respectfully yours, W. F. Nash, Pub. Chronicle. Times Office, Missouri Valley, Iowa. J. E. Hamilton, Esq. Dear Sir: We have given your Holly Wood Type a thorough trial, and are more than pleased. We find that ink “takes” better from your Type than the old style Wood Type. The cheapness is a great item, as a man can put in a regular show supply of Wood Type for a small outlay. We like the Holly Wood Type. D. M. Harris Son. Aurelia, Iowa. Messrs. Hamilton & Katz. Gents: In regard to Holly Wood Type, I have to say: j It is durable and prints well. Will answer all the purposes of i a ])rinting office. S. L. Bailey. Salem, D. T. Type received and are well pleased with s.Tine. You may depend u])on it, that should we need any more wood type you shall have the orders of Whi i e &: Rutan. We can name hundreds of other offices using our Type, but think the above sufficient to show that it is no an ex- periment, but a success beyond disputel ‘ ) ■if 0 0 ifl .0 0 r ■* ■i • 1 No. 74, 4 Cents. •M V - 4 No. 62, Six I.ine, 3 Cents.
