Printikg ai^d Bookbinding. 

 Judges — John W. Hunt, Madison ; M. E. Congar, Whitewater. 



The Committee on Printing and Book-Binding, having per- 

 formed the duty assigned them, respectfully report, that they 

 found on exhibition very superior specimens of job and orna 

 mental printing, (No. 160) from the office of B. E. Hale & Co., 

 Beloit. As no premium is offered for this class of printing in 

 the premium list, the committee leave it with the society to 

 make such award as they may think proper. They also find a 

 very good article of book printing from the same establishment, 

 and award to it the first premium. Mr. Hale also exhibits first 

 class specimens of card printing, and the committee award him 

 the first premium. 



No. 410 exhibits very good specimens of card printing, and 

 the committee recommend for it a second premium. 



Isaac A. Poole, of Chicago, 111, had a collection of books, the 

 binding of which may be seen in any bookstore or library, un- 

 worthy of notice. 



Bliss, Eberhard & Festner, of Madison, exhibited several 

 samples of binding, both plain and ornamental. The committee 

 regret that this collection was not earlier on the grounds, as it is 

 well worthy of attention, and could not fail to attract the atten- 

 tion, praise and commendation of all. Each of the books pre- 

 sented, reflect great credit, upon the skill and workmanship 

 of these gentlemen, in all of the departments of book-binding, 

 ruling, and the manufacture of blank books, which the commit- 

 tee are satisfied cannot be surpassed in the State or the West.
