THE DAILY HERALD'S NEW AHD WONDERFUI; HPESEnillG MACHINE The Merganthaler Linotype machine, recently ordered by the French Broad Hustler Company, is really one of the most marvel ous products of the brains of man. It was invented, 'not so very many years ago, by Merganthaler, a German machinist, and the first machine made represented an amount of patient labor, wonderful skill, and heavy expenditure of -money not equaled by any other labor saving device on the market There are three thousand and three hundred different, and distinct fparts to the machine. It does the work of seven skilled workmen and does it better. It is fascinating to watch the wonderful apparatusat work, and if, as some people believe machines have souls, surely a Mer-genthaler has one.

This will be, of course the first typesetting machine ever owned in Hendersonville and will be the first standard machine ever brought herel At the Press convention, some two years ago, there was a Junior on exhibition at the Gates Hotel, but a Standard machine is entirely different. The Merganthaler purchased by The Hustler Company is ther latest improved Standard No 5 two magazine machine. It is new and has been shipped direct fiomthe factory, shobld jbe here about June FlOth Whett assembled andjn operat ion a cordial invitation will be extended to all interested to come in and inspect it and see it actually at work. It will be well worth while, for while this age of machinery has produced many wonderful devices not one is more wonderful than a Merganthaler Linotype. Mr.

Vance Norwood, of States-ville, who recently become associated with The Hustler, will be the operator-machinist in charge of the machine. Water Cot Off." City water will be cut off Friday evening between 2 and 5 o'clock, to clean reservoir. J. W. Mclntyre, Chairman.
