North American Type Foundry, (Established by Binny & Ronaldson in 1796, on the base of Sowers's Germantown Foundry of 1739.) THE long experience of the several proprietors of the Philadelphia Type Foundry enables L. JOHNSON & CO. to offer to the Printing Craft the largest variety of Types, and all the appurtenances of a Printing Office, to be found in any establishment in the United States-and of a quality, too, which is deemed to be unrivalled. The composition of the metal is calculated to afford the greatest durability; while the scrupulous care exercised in the fitting up of the type, is such as to insure accuracy and squareness of body, &c." L. JOHNSON & Co.'s facilities are so extensive as to enable them to fill orders of any amount, either in PLAIN OR FANCY TYPES, Music of unparalleled beauty, (cast in this foundry only,) Scripts, Flowers, Cuts, Brass or Metal Rules, Brass Braces, Labor-saving Rules, etc., etc. PRESSES of all kinds, and all sorts of Printing Materials, (most of which are made by L. J. & Co.,) will be furnished at manufacturers' prices. Stereotyping, in ancient and modern languages, from the largest volume to the smallest label. Electrotyping of Books, Wood Cuts, Jobs. Type used in stereotyping for sale at reduced prices. Wood Cuts designed and engraved in the finest style of art. L. J. & Co.'s "Minor Specimen Book" (acknowledged to be first of its class in the country, and original in its conception and getting up) will be sent to all printers who have not received it who direct how it may be transmitted. Newspaper printers who publish this advertisement entire three times before Sept.1, 1855, and send to us a copy of the paper containing it, will be allowed their bills on purchasing type to four times its amount.

NO. 1 LODGE ALLEY, BACK OF NEW MASONIC Agents for Hoe's, Adams', Ruggles' and For- It is with pleasure we announce to printers, that since our last advertisement in the "Lady's Book" and the "Ink Fountain," denouncing the monopoly, designed to be created by certain Type Founders, we have received so liberal a supply of orders from all parts of the country as to satisfy us that our protest against the monopoly has been deemed just by all reasonabie men. We would now direct the especial attention of printers, who usually purchase for cash, to our very liberal terms-terms which no other Type Founder in the country dare It is certain that no counpublicly offer. tenance or support is due to those who, after having signed the resolutions adopted by the Convention of Type Founders, shall sell below the scale of prices which that Convention has assumed the authority to But one course is, on their part, establish. manly and honorable: Either to discard the authority of the Convention, or to abide by its standard of prices. The inducements we offer for cash on type of our own manufacture, are: A discount of twenty per cent. on all orders over $800, and a discount of fifteen per cent, on all orders over $100. These terms are so eminently liberal for these stringent times, that printers who are mindful of their own interest will, we think, not fail to embrace them. When the fact is borne in mind, for proof of which we can unequivocally appeal to the most reputable and celebrated printers in the Union, who are constantly using our type, that we furnish an article equal, if not superior, to that of any other Type Founder in the country-despite the spe cious advertisements to the contrary d would-be rival manufacturers-we are ju tified in expecting to receive the most m nificent patronage. Every article necessary to a Printing Office constantly on hand. jun1-3t] COLLINS & MCLEESTER, 1 معاد "I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong." VOL. VI.] AUGUST, 1855. [No. 8.
