Preparing the Thanksgiving Review Special

By Editor

The special number of the REVIEW, to be distributed Thanksgiving week as a means of calling the attention of the people generally to our work, and securing financial help therefor, has been prepared, and is now being printed. Two of our large presses are running twenty-two hours out of the twenty-four each day on this paper, and will continue to do so until a sufficient number has been printed. The present outlook is that the edition will be at least five hundred thousand. Some idea of the amount of work involved in supplying such a large number of copies of the REVIEW will, perhaps, be better appreciated when it is stated that in order to do this, each separate paper has to be handled four times in feeding the paper through the presses, the folders, and the stitcher. This is in addition to all handling in bulk. Such large editions are more commonly printed on rotary presses, which print from a continuous roll of paper at a very rapid rate; but as this Office is not equipped with such a press, the separate sheets must be handled in feeding the presses. Those who have examined copies of this special number express themselves as much pleased with it, and we hope it will meet the expectations of all the workers in the field.
