the maximum output. In most offices there is a decided weak-
ness in this respect, and constant shifting of type matter is
necessary, with much pi and damage to valuable material.
This is particularly true of country printing offices, where
She paper forms monopolize the stone surface seven days in
the week, and the job forms are made ready on wooden sur-
faces, and in odd corners, all of which is wasteful and ex-
pensive.
The utility of a stone frame is doubled by utilizing the
space underneath for letter boards, chase racks, furniture,
reglet, etc. We show a full line of modern imposing stones on
following pages.
These low-priced, square-legged frames will answer ad-
mirably in country offices where space is not at a premium.

Price of Coffins-When coffins only are desired we can furnish them, made in any size, at 75 cents per running foot the long way.
The prices of tables without stones include the coffins. Imposing stones only for larger frames list at $1.00 per square foot.
Imposing frames are made of hardwood in knock-down form. This insures convenience in handling, and large frames can be taken up
stairways and through narrow doors.
How to Bed a Stone-To properly bed an imposing surface it should be laid in putty. Take the stone and place on skids on the floor
face down. Roll strips of putty and lay on the stone where the supporting strips will rest. Take coffin and reverse, placing it over the
stone. Lift coffin and stone together and place on the frame. Tap stone to thoroughly bed and see that it projects evenly above the inner
edge of the coffin the thickness of a brass galley bottom. Fill space between edges of stone and coffin with putty.
Iron Surfaces-All stone frames listed can be furnished for iron surfaces. Such surfaces do not usually require a coffin, which
reduces the list price of the frame 50 cents per foot the long way. For instance, a 36x60 frame without the coffin would take a reduction
in the list price of $2.50. When iron surface is to be used customer should determine the exact size of the iron surface which should
conform with the size of the frame. It is usual to allow iron surfaces to overlap the edges of the frame one-half inch all around.
Write for full particulars covering frames with iron surfaces.
Notice-All imposing stones are crated separately and are shipped at customer's risk. No claim can be made on us or the transporta-
tion company if breakage occurs. As stones are very heavy this is necessary in order to get a low freight rate. If shipped released they
take the 4th class rate; if not released they take 1st class rate. Orders for imposing stones are accepted only on this basis, unless other-
wise specified.
IMPOSING STONE FRAMES WITH LETTER BOARDS
These frames are strongly constructed to sustain the great weight to which they will be subjected. The frames and coffins as well as
the letter boards are made of hardwood, and all the material entering into them is carefully selected, and free from imperfections. The
outside is filled and varnished like all cabinets. No better disposition of the space underneath an imposing frame can be made than to
use it for letter boards. If the type is dead it is shifted from the stone to the board without any loss of time; if the matter is alive, it is
handy for imposition.
