Increase of Work.

THIS office has been running to its full capacity the most of the time during the year, but the past week has been one of more than usual activity, and we have been obliged to run presses night and day, and this will continue for some time to come. More work has been turned out the past week than ever before during the same length of time. To give our readers some idea of our facilities, we would say that an order was taken to print and bind (in cloth) ten thousand copies of a book of 200 large pages, and within three days from the time work was commenced on the job, complete bound copies were in the hands of the author. Other large jobs were also being carried right on during the same time.

Over one hundred hands are now employed in the various departments of the office, and our pay-roll amounts to $1,000 a week. The prospect was never better for a large run of work, and we look for continued prosperity.
