BUFFALO, N-.Y.
N presenting this Press to the -trade, we
rely entirely upon its merits, as a cheap
tf nd desirable article, combining in a small
space, all the requisites of a Printing Press.
The fact that Printers .have long desfred a
Press which could be afforded at a low price,
has been the main inducement in getting this
up; and although not a Machine Press, yet
work cai be done well and expeditiously by
a boy. 500 impressions per hour can be made
on cards or other small work. These Presses
are made entirely, of Ironand warranted.
Prices from $30 to $'90, according to size.
