Courier Office Adds Some New Equipment

During the past week two new pieces of equipment have been added to The Chrisman Courier's office and printing department in order to render more efficient, better, and quicker service to the public.

A new 10 by 15 Chandler and Price job printing press arrived Friday forenoon, and will be ready for use very soon. This press, and the 12 by 18 Gordon press which we already had, will enable The Courier's staff to do more and better commercial printing.

A new combination cash register and receipt machine has also been received and installed in The Courier office. This will enable us to have a complete record of every transaction, whether it be advertising, job printing, subscriptions, office supplies, or miscellaneous merchandise. In each transaction, the customer will receive a duplicate copy of the receipt.

We invite you to come in and  see this new equipment. 

Note: The image is a stock photo of the type of press installed at The Courier and which the Editor learned to operate as a teenager. Note the three rollers which picked up ink from the large plate at the top and rolled down over raised type just before paper was pressed against the type. A long lever (visible just above the wheel) controlled the press operation.
