NEW YORK.
Established for the Copper-Facing of Type only. ,
Fonts of Three Thousand Pounds Guaranteed in a Week,
NO. 82 BEEKMAN ST., New York, arch 22, 1877. To the Newton Copper Type Company.
Gentlemen :- We have known of the advantages of Copper-Faced Type ever since its first introduction to the trade, and have ourselves used it as long as we have been in business. Copper-Faced Type will last many times as long as uncop- pered in electrotyping or stereotyping, and preserve to the last a better average of condition. The process preserves the sharpness of the type admirably.
Yours truly, SMITH & MCDOUGAL.
Office of WHEAT & CORNETT,
No. 8 SPRUCE ST .. New York, May 8, 1878. Gentlemen :- Having used Copper-Faced Type for newspaper and book work for a number of years, and found that we could get more than double the wear out of it, we have of late adopted Copper-Faced Type for job work, and find that in scripts and light or faney types, it considerably more than doubles the wear with- out injuring the sharpness or beauty. Yours truly,
WHEAT & CORNETT.
That one Font of Copper-Faced Type will do the work of two Fonts uncoppered, is abundantly demonstrated by the Testimonials of our patrons.
In estimating the cost of copper-facing at the following prices, the Quadrats and Spaces-usually one-fifth of the weight-must be deducted, as the letter ONLY is copper-faced, which makes the cost of copper-facing less than eighteen per cent. advance at present prices on the type-founders' bill.

Printers desiring their type coppered, are requested to bear in mind that we are not type-founders, that we neither buy nor sell type, but copper-face it only, at the order of printers or type-founders. They will therefore direct the founders with whom they deal to send their type to us, (the Patentees,) to be copper-faced. which, when finished, will be forwarded at once to its destination. Payment can be made to the founders, or directly to this company.
