Our Type Foundry.

By Editor

WE cannot say that we have had greater trouble and disappointment than is common, when enterprises are undertaken by those of no experience, with very limited means. Every enterprise upon which our people have entered has had its days of trial. The REVIEW establishment struggled through years of hardship before it came to be self-sustaining. The Sanitarium, now so large and with such fair prospects before it, was literally carried for a long time in the fostering arms of its charitably-minded sister institution.

The loss in money, which we have sustained by reason of mistakes and failures, is a small part of that which we have had to bear. The necessity of presenting our paper with type not perfectly fitted, has been exceedingly mortifying. We are thankful that we are able to inform our friends that this difficulty has at last been surmounted, and we can now present type as nearly perfect as may be made. Our NEW BOURGEOIS, of which this article is a specimen, is a sufficient recommendation of the establishment as now conducted. We are determined that nothing imperfect shall be cast, and we think our arrangements are so made that this determination can be fully carried out. We ask our friends to pray for our prosperity.
