The Adding Machine illustrated above mechanically adds up 
all the cash received each day and balances the cash besides ; 
it does the work of three men. Twenty years ago my mail was 
often not opened until ten o’clock at night; in 1909 my mail 
was opened and cash balanced never later than five o’clock. 


this machine and the young lady operator, 25,000 to 40,000 
bags per day are mechanically filled and pasted. Ten expert 
girls could not fill as many bags as this machine in one day. 




This illustrates where my bags and other small printing is' 
executed. The Harris Press in the foreground printed last 
summer 12,600 catalogue wrappers per hour. This book was 
wrapped in one of them. It enables me in the shortest possi- 
ble time to print seed packets by the thousands an hour.

The above illustration is a Type-Setting Machine, which en- 
ables us to set type in a hurry. This page has been set 
with it. It cost $3,500 in 1901, is as good as ever today, and 
has cost less than $100 in repairs since it was first purchased.
