EUROPE: GERMANY. 



149 



(19 by 24 inches). Below I submit the different sizes in centimeters 

 and in inches; also the local names of each size. 



All of the above sizes are furnished flat in "double;" for in- 

 stance, "double writing" is 43 by 68 centimeters (16^ by 26 inches). 

 For circular, book, and catalogue printing there are only three 

 standard sizes, and, as in the case of writing paper, they differ from 

 our regular sizes. I quote the sizes of book paper in centimeters and 

 inches: 



The book paper is also divided into three classes and sells to pub- 

 lishers and printers as follows: No. i, lowest grade, from 18 to 30 

 pfennigs (4. 2 to 7. i cents) per kilogram (2. 2046 pounds) ; No. 2, good, 

 from 36 to 50 pfennigs (8.5 to 11.9 cents) per kilogram; No. 3, best, 

 from 62 pfennigs to i mark (14.7 to 23.8 cents) per kilogram. 



The mills are perfectly willing to make paper in any size and 

 weight required without additional expense. 



Terms of sale are as follows: For writing papers, or general news 

 and book papers, for which there is daily call, 2 per cent if paid 

 within thirty days, or three months, net cash; for book paper, to be 

 used for a special work which will not be completed for six or nine 

 months, and upon which there can be no collection until finished, 

 the time for payment is generally set by the printer or publisher 

 (twelve months' credit will be given). 



Stettin has but two firms of any importance dealing in paper, as 

 follows: 



Ewald Gentzersohn, Heumarkt. 



Kinkel & Krause, Gr. Oderstrasse. 



There are about 16 publications, 15 printers, and 10 publishers.
