We have sought to show Strathmore papers in the best manner, and to emphasize their value in the pro- duction of fine printing. One who has not undertaken a similar task cannot ap- preciate the amount of labor and cost it involves. It is offered to the trade, to printers, to publishers, and to advertisers in the hope that it may be useful to them, and that it will give them pleasure as a worthy example of paper-making, print- ing, and book-making. We ask that it be accepted with our compliments. Do not mutilate it. Ask your dealer, or ask us, for sheets or sam- ples, for dummies, for proving or testing, and they will be gladly furnished. Mittiueague Paper Company 371825 MITTINEAGUE PAPER COMPANY ITS ADVANCEMENT AND PRODUCT | HEN this Company was organ- ized, in 1 892, it was the purpose of the founders to begin the manufacture of a line of print- ing papers that should be unique by reason of their quality and their adaptability to satisfy a demand that was arising in the paper market. How perfectly this intention has been realized is shown by the fact that the business of our mills has increased from a daily output of from two and a half to three tons to a daily out- put of from twelve to fifteen tons, and the further fact that the floor area of the mills has risen from 45,000 square feet to 1 75,000 square feet. The product has increased 500 per cent, and the floor space 400 per cent. These are sig- nificant facts, and they gain significance from the further fact that our product is not heavily stocked by dealers, and the output is never far ahead of the demand. Aside from the manifest fact that this is a record that must gratify any manufacturer, we are gratified, and feel that our judgment has been justified, that the demand for such quan- tities of the high grade papers we produce betokens a substantial increase in the demand for artistic printed matter. Some proportion of the great advance in the printing art, and the increased public appreciation of the beau- tiful work of many presses, is manifestly due to the "Strathmore Quality" papers that have been shipped all over the world from our Mittineague Mills during the past fourteen years. Our endeavor has been to produce papers which should be distinctive in appearance and texture, with printing qualities that would bring out the full value and beauty of type and design, and made from stock that insured long life and strength. This book is the evidence of our success. It shows forty distinct book papers, and shows them under conditions that provide the printer, publisher or advertiser, with a definite basis upon which to form an opinion. Nearly all the different methods of printing and plate-making are represented among these beautiful sample pages. In all of them the paper is given its proper place, and its true value is admirably brought out. The simple typographic effects were chosen to allow the paper to be shown in its true relation. Nothing in this book is too difficult for any good printer. The lesson of it is simplicity, artistic harmony and good paper. The printer or advertiser who studies the three elements of good printing paper, typography, ink soon discovers that value, beauty, distinction and power depend upon his knowledge of paper, type and ink; and that the first and most important is paper. It would be interesting and instructive to give here a sketch of the development of paper- making as it is practiced at the Mittineague Mills, but it is not possible. We aim, in this book, to show what we have done, and are doing, rather than how we do it. We have studied the paper question constantly, and have constantly experimented. The Strathmore product is, in consequence, different from any other paper, and it is different because the processes of its manufacture are different. It is made by special machinery, of pure linen and cotton rag stock, by workmen who have been trained in the Strathmore methods. Every smallest detail, every piece of machinery, every foot of the mills, is subject to the standard of "Strathmore Quality." We have from the first appealed to the best printers, the most expert advertisers, the most liberal publishers. We have challenged intelligence, and we could do so in no other way than by the exhibition of intelligence. We have put papers into the hands of printers, publishers and publicity experts that have enabled them to produce results that were not only unknown but impos- sible before Strathmore papers came on the market. To summarize, there are forty items of book papers in this book, some of which had not previously been shown. Twenty-one items are antique finish, seven are medium plate finish, six are plate finish, and six are fabric finish. The printing and cut processes shown include photogravures, wood engravings, four-color half- tone plates, as also three, two and one color, half-tones combined with line engravings, "mash outs" by plate and rule with half-tone and line, line engravings in colors and in black; and a beautiful showing of typographic effects, plain and in colors. All of the cuts and typog- raphy were made in the ordinary manner, and the printing has been executed as the regular run of work is put through printshops. s>tratf)tnore DECKLE EDGE MANUFACTURED BY MITTINEAGUE PAPER COMPANY MITTINEAGUE, MASS., U.

It is a valuable addition to the limited number of fine papers now on the market and one that possesses qualities and characteristics not heretofore developed in a machine-made paper. The finest quality of new linen rags obtainable constitute the elements of this paper, and their manner of treatment throughout the entire process of manufacture is such that the rag fibre is preserved in its full strength and permanency in the finished sheet. Never before has a paper been produced that combines such strength and durability, long fibre, characteristic "flower," purity and permanency of texture and color. In these respects it embodies the best qualities of the wonderful Imperial Japan, but omits the harsh, severe printing surfaces of that famous paper. Instead of which STRATHMORE JAPAN is manufactured in three practical finishes: Plate, Medium and Antique, thus making the paper applicable for all the various printing processes employed in modern repro- ductive work and adapted for high grade book, catalogue and circular work.

Sf rtifljmorc EXTRA THICK ^ I "^HE regular weight STRATHMORE JAPAN _A_ has created a demand for a paper having the same characteristics, but a heavier weight for cover purposes, folders, programmes, menus, book inserts, etc. This demand, therefore, is the rea- son of the Extra Thick STRATHMORE JAPAN, as shown by this and the two following signatures. It is carried in the Natural color only, Plate, Medium and Antique finishes, and is accordingly fitted for use with all the various printing processes that would be employed for its uses. This new weight is in every way equal in qual- ity to the regular weight and has all its many beau- tiful and original features, and will be of great assistance to the artistic printer in satisfying the demand for something new and attractive for high grade jobs of the above nature. For photogravure work this sheet offers the best opportunities for the finest results. Notice the beautiful and realistic effect secured in the frontis- piece showing the STRATHMORE QUALITY Mills.

An examination of these specimens, which show three distinct classes of subjects, and represent practi- cally the range to which photogravure is put, will show the adaptability of this paper in the various items for this beautiful process. Note the " lifting qualities " of the paper as well as the manner in which it assists the plates in bringing out the different tones of the sub- jects and the delicate line work and shading of the title. The advantages of STRATHMORE JAPAN, regular weight, for edition purposes where the photogravure process is used for illustrations, is very apparent, and the extra thick for inserts, titles, etc. STRATHMORE JAPAN 25x38, Regular.

Straightway I was 'ware, So weeping, how a mystic Shape did move Behind me, and drew me backward by the hair ; And a voice said in mastery while I strove : Guess now who holds thee?" " Death," I said. But there Thesilver answer rang: "Not Death, but Love. 1 Specimen Page of "Sonnets from the Portuguese' Designs by Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue By permission of Small.

The unequalled quality and original fea- tures of these papers are responsible for the establishing as a standard the Strathmore Deckle Edge Book Papers and in a great measure for the success and prestige of the name " Strathmore." As is well known to the trade, these papers are made in narrow widths between Deckle Edges, as shown by oppo- site schedule, which permits of the Deckle Edges on each page instead of every two alternate pages as in this book* and to this feature is due many of the handsomest and most artistic pieces of work ever produced in the way of booklets, brochures, and other similar light work. The quality of the stock is plainly discernible. It is positively 99% pure clean rag fibre and contains no chem- icals. The Deckle Edges are even and feathery, nothing scraggly or coarse about them, and the two sides of the sheet are so similar there is no noticeable difference. *In order to include the papers in this book they had to be folded to the same size as the other papers, but as there is no flat size made in Strathmore that will fold as required, it was necessary to cut down from the largest size, thus allowing only one Deckle Edge in the flat sheet or two in the folded, as shown.

For the purposes of study and research the advantages of the National Capital are not surpassed by those of any other city in our country, and it is not difficult to imagine a time when it will be the world's greatest educational centre. It is essentially the city beautiful, and one of peculiar charm. Here are beautiful parks, broad streets, statuary and galleries of art, all making a strong appeal to our sense of the beautiful. Here are gardens and fountains and magnificent architecture in a city whose atmosphere is one of repose, quiet, refinement and happiness. Wasr^gton's climate is the soft and even climate of the Seaboard, and the number of those who come from the north, east, south and west to enjoy here a winter's residence is annually increasing. A more delightful and appropriate place to spend one's student days than the National Capital can hardly be found. Here it is one's privilege to meet men and women of eminence in our national life, and to hear discussed THE PIED PIPER Wood Engraving from "The Jones Fourth Reader" Ginn & Company, Publishers STRATHMORE DECKLE EDGE BOOK White, Medium Plate Finish See Schedule for Sizes and Weights This Medium Plate finish is specially suitable for the finest line work and stipple effects. The texture and the formation of the paper permits of the best possible type work on all of the finishes ; no ragged edges or pin holes. Nor is it necessary to push the type away into the paper to secure an even impression. Owing to the uniform thickness and the absence of lumps, grit or other hard substances there is no perceptible wear on either type or plates in the longest runs on Strathmore.

It takes a perfect im- pression and the effect is especially soft, deep and rich without the glassy and shiny look of the coated stock. Strathmore has a pure white without the blackish white mottled look of many coated papers. Neither is it possible for the surface to ""pick for the printing surface is the paper itself. The harsh, brittle feel of the coated stock is also entirely done away with in Strathmore. These papers are delightful to the touch, being soft and velvety yet having a firm- ness that denotes their ingredients.

Surely we owe such a one a pass- ing tribute, particularly as the future is apt to remember him when our names are forgotten. The painter, especially, has claims upon us, for he, more than others, is called upon to be faithful to his ideals. Ceaseless struggle and actual privation often mark his early career. Not infrequently they prove his gaunt com- panions to the end, even though fame pause later in her flight to weave a magic round his name.

WASHINGTON, D. C. OLD STRATFORD 25 x 38=80 Ibs. Medium Plate White Wove. No. 294. N establishing a school for girls and young women at the National Capital, we chose to form one of distinctly College grade, as offering the most inviting grade and field for school work in the city. The wisdom of such choice has been fully attested. Education may be distinguished as Primary, Academic, College, and Univer- sity. The place of the College is between the Academy and the University. This place we occupy offering also some years of Primary and Academic work in our Prepar- atory School. Every young lady, if possible, should have a College education, no matter what her work in life may be. Only a few women will, or can, enter the professions except that of teaching, and for that the College may prepare. All who can, should first do the College work, and then, if a higher or a professional training is desired, go to the University for that. The mission of the Young Ladies' College is to fully prepare young women for their places in the home and in society. Its work is necessarily more extensive than the Academic and distinct from it; and, necessarily, less exten- LE MANS CATHEDRAL: NAVE, FROM TRANSEPT From "A Little Tour in France" by permission of Houghton.

These disagreeable features are ever present in the cheaper grades owing to the necessary use of mineral filler and wood pulp, both of which destroy the life of the color and texture.

This finish has a half tone printing surface without the repel- lent glare and stiffness of the coated papers. For illustrated books, this finish permits of the text and illustrations being run on the same paper, thus obviating the expensive and objectionable insertion of coated stock, thereby securing a much more attractive and durable book. Note the beautiful, soft, restful effect obtained with half tones on this paper, as shown by illustrations. We advise that the screen of the half tones be not finer than 120 line for the best results. OLD STRATFORD 25x38=80 Ibs. High Plate Finish. No 295. Five years have now passed since he left us and the world that will forever love and mourn him. Five times have the seasons run their course since he fell asleep beside the Avon, never to waken more. Five long and lonely years! And yet and yet to me it seems that he is never far away. Lonely in body have I been, but never hath my soul dwelt solitary. My grief for him is as no other's; yet my joy is such as none can ever take from me. I was his, he was mine. The world's poet was my beloved, too. It makes me almost catch my breath to say it, and I often marvel why this crown of my life was given me. 'Tis a mys- tery sweet as strange, a very sacrament of wonder and of love. And a mystery, whether human or divine, we may adore, but never comprehend. For I was Shakespeare's sweetheart verily and alone his sweetheart, even after I became his wedded wife. From that first wondrous day when we read in each other's eyes the new-born love which was to live forever, to the time when he left me for awhile, five years ago; nay, even until now, I am Shakespeare's sweetheart. And so it is my right, as it is also my pride and delight, to tell the story of our love for the great multitudes who held Will dear, for the shadowy, unborn multitudes who shall pay homage to his mem- ory in years to come. Truly, the story is sacred to me ; but he is not mine alone; he is also the world's, the world that loved him, that he loved. After all, however, Master Ben Jonson is respon- sible for my trying to tell this tale of mine. For yes- terday, with a great noise and bustle, as is his wont, he rode up to the gates of New Place and called loudly for me. I was sitting in the garden, sewing, and the instant after he had bellowed forth my name he be- held me. "Good-morrow, Mistress Shakespeare," he cried, waving his hand to me. " Thou art the very dame I wish to see. Art weary, art busy ? If so, I will leave my errand until later. This sorry nag of mine must be stabled at the inn;" and he gave a vicious dig at the poor beast he bestrode. Master Jonson is not at his best on horseback. OLD STRATFORD 25x3860 IDS. Rough Antique White Wove. No. 296. " I am neither weary nor busy, Master Jonson," I replied, walking down to the gateway, that we might converse more freely. "Prythee, come in at once; Will's friends are always welcome at New Place." " Marry, it is about Will that I would speak with thee," he said, bluntly, looking at me with shrewd, kindly eyes. "Moreover, I am mistaken sorely if my errand shall not please thee. Natheless, on my way hither I ordered dinner at the inn, and I must e'en go there first. Then I will return, an it like thee. I have many things to talk about." I expressed my pleasure at the prospect, and he looked delighted. "I will return, then, as speedily as may be," he said, beginning a somewhat unsuccessful attempt to turn his horse about. "Au revoir, Mistress Shakespeare, and may all the gods of Olympus The devil take thee, thou evil-faced, sorry steed! Ac- cursed be the day I hired thee ! Wilt thou obey my rein? Ah, at last. Go on, thou imp of Satan!" With which cheerful adjuration Master Jonson ambled away, too absorbed in guiding his steed to take further notice of me then. I laughed a little as I watched his ungraceful progress; but as I turned from the gate I sighed. a H3 C/2 ^3 0) O o .S * ffi S w 0) .S M H W) - Q) K} I ^ ? 8 ^ *" H "2 The opaqueness, bulk and firmness of the 60 Ib.

The elevation is unusually high, the location sufficiently removed from the noise and impure atmosphere so common to the more congested sections, and is generally recognized as one of the most healthful in the city. An excellent view of Eutaw Place and Madison Avenue may be had from both buildings, while the main entrance to Druid Hill Park is only four blocks away. The architectural scheme is designed to reflect simple elegance and is especially free from that quality of cheap ornamentation which often mars the outward appearance of buildings of this character. The basement extends entirely under both buildings, but above the ground floor they are separated by a large open space beautified by grass, flowers and fountains.

By permission of Houghton, Mifflin & Co. 1 signature shows the Toned, Laid, Smooth Antique Finish, OLD STRATFORD, and it will be noticed that the shade has been deepened and is more pronounced than that formerly manufactured, which was hardly distinct enough. The present Toned is a very beautiful shade, especially soft and restful to the eye, and its presence as a color is barely perceptible and, therefore, one that never becomes tiresome or offensive. Its permanency is absolute and in combination with OLD STRATFORD quality represents a most admirable sheet of paper. The piece of half-tone work shown on the opposite page is exceptionally striking and extremely unusual in that it is executed on a Laid sheet and its duplication on any but OLD STRATFORD texture is doubtful. This was accomplished by mashing out the paper with a hot brass plate on a job press and a 120 line cut run in the usual manner. Notwith- standing the tremendous pressure brought to bear upon the stock there is not the least indication of a break and the paper feels as firm and substantial as the rest of the signature. The effect is certainly very beautiful and the depth and richness of tone of the subject is much enhanced by the surrounding Laid marks. This class of work may also be repeated with gratifying success on the other Antique papers in OLD STRATFORD either Wove or Laid. OLD STRATFORD 25 x 38 80 Ibs. Smooth Antique Toned Laid. No. 264.

That a successful paper along these lines has been produced is shown by these sam- ples of ALEXANDRA BOOK. ALEXANDRA is not a pure rag paper as are the other papers shown, nevertheless it contains about 90% of clear rag stock and does not contain any starch or chlorides. The sheet is well formed, has good body and strength. It is soft and pliable to the touch and the deckle edges are even and feathery. The bulking qualities are un- equalled by any other moderate priced paper and the nearly identical appearance of the two sides of the sheet is also a distinct advantage. The specimens of work shown here- with, which were executed under ordinary conditions, dem- onstrate that the different finishes in which the papers are carried give entirely satisfactory printing surfaces and oppor- tunities for the finest press work. It will be further noted that owing to the excellence of the manufacture of ALEXANDRA the finished printed form more nearly approaches the results obtained on the all rag papers shown in this book than any other medium price stock.

One is stupid and can take few studies, another is bright and makes rapid progress. One begins his school work at fourteen, another at five. One has lived abroad and speaks French and German, another is strong in English, but weak in mathe- matics. One is being prepared for a college requiring Greek, another for a technical school where he will specialize in science. In a word, in previous training, in mental ability, and in future plans, no two boys are exactly alike. Corresponding to this wide difference in the boy there should be a similar difference in his mental training ; each pupil in a school should be considered not as one of a class but rather as an individual ; a careful study should be made of his peculiar needs ; he should take few studies or many as is best for him > his advancement in one study should not affect his standing in others ; he should begin each at that point for which his pre- vious training has fitted him. In a word, the school unit should be the boy not the class. The Washington School was one of the first in the country to recognize fully the difference in the intellectual needs of its pupils and it is one of the few which, by discarding entirely a rigid course of study, carries the principle to a logical conclu- sion. In place of the fixed curriculum, the grade, or the form found in most schools, there are offered in The Washington School seventy-eight different courses each representing from a half-hour to three and a half hours of class room work a week.

ART TO BE VENERATED MUST NEEDS BE OLD ANTIQUE ART AND ITS SURVIVALS THE PAST IS THE FASHION PLATE OF ART OU are cordially invited to inspect our incomparable stock of High Class and Original Antiques, both restored and in tke rough. Our showrooms include many of the finest and rarest specimens of Colonial, Chippendale, Hepplewhite, and Sheraton Furniture , extant. Especial attention is called to our exhibit of fine old original Chairs, a line well worthy of critical inspection. From the prodigal periods of Louis XV and XVI we are showing many exquisite pieces, resplendent with those rich and extravagant embellishments which speak more eloquently than words of the gilded decadence and refined degeneracy of the times which they have survived. In this connection we are also offering some very beautiful types of Empire Art. L Especial note is made of the very fine and curious old Grandfather s Clocks and the old English Mantel and Chime Clocks which will prove of exceptional interest to connoisseurs of this line. C. Our display of old Silver Pieces in rare and exquisite designs, Sheffield and other renowned makes, is most generous and worthy of review. HEN shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy rearward & Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and He shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; ^ And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday: j* And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters fail not J^ And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places; thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

Buff Laid Antique No. 510. CERTAIN features of a Casualty Company's work should be looked into with great care in order to be sure that the company's dis- position is broad and fair, and that it is finan- cially able to live up to its contracts. IjThe Company's many appreciative letters from policyholders present the best possible proof of the fairness of its disposition and methods. IjThe unusually well selected character of the Mary- land's investments, and its very large surplus to policyholders, furnish conclusive evidence of the ability and conservatism of its financial management. J It is a well known fact that certain securities appear to be favorites with speculators. When there is a boom in the stock market, they advance with it ; when the reaction comes, they drop. These conditions are reflected in the financial statements of companies holding them, so that in boom times their surpluses increase, and when the drop comes, they shrink. The securities of the Maryland, however, are not that kind, as a reference to its statement will show. J Every investment proposition which is offered to it is most carefully scrutinized and investigated so that the company's holdings are limited to only the most approved and safest securities. No investment which has the slightest speculative feature is tolerated. IjThe Maryland has built for itself an enviable repu- tation for fairness in its dealings with claimants. An agent of the Maryland will get for his clients the quickest settlement of all claims consistent with rea- A CORNER. IN TOE / Courtesy of FAIRMONT SEMINARY, Washington, D. C.

Buff Laid Antique No. 510. ffvu<1)s Slliotit ROM the pre-historic pots and crucibles of primitive man, to the beautiful products in wedgewood, faience and illuminated tiles of the present day, CLAY and its products have held sway as one of the essential elements in the arts, sciences and manufactures. Its dura- bility and sanitary properties, even under the crude processes of the ancients, are evidenced in the excavations at Pompeii, and by the ceramic ware handed down by the Aztecs and the Cliff Dwellers. C. The evolution from the coarse vessels of the ancients to the wares of today is not more marked than from the mud houses of the savages to the products in terra cotta, faience and tiles of modern manufacture, but the material, good honest CLAY, is the same, and will endure forever. C. Tiles were used freely by the Orientals in the Middle Ages, some of the best examples of which are still found at Damascus, Cairo, Moorish Spain and in the Mosques of Persia. From the twelfth to the sixteenth century the beautiful lustred tiles were much used, and in the sixteenth century majolica tiles were produced in southern Spain, rare examples of which still exist in the Alhambra, and in Italy there are many fine speci- mens from the master hand of Lucca Delia Robbia. C. From the twelfth to the sixteenth century, floor tiles were produced in the northern countries of Europe, but as late as the sixteenth century tiles for mural decoration were imported from Spain into England.

In the last century England, Germany and France have made great advancement in the manufacture of tiles, but it was not until the latter part of the last century that the attention of American manufacturers was turned to this product, and while we still import from Europe certain lines of ceramics, particularly in the mosaic, yet the commercial enterprise of America prevails, and there are today some eighteen factories in this country, using the most modern methods, and producing tiles, particularly in the encaustic, hydraulic and glazed kinds which are unsurpassed in the world. C. Ceramic mosaics were only introduced in this country after 1880, and there are many excellent examples of them in the large buildings of Baltimore. They possess many advantages over marble mosaics, are imperishable, and in pavements the wear of a lifetime is scarcely perceptible, and on account of this, and because of their close texture and wide range in colorings, they have practically supplanted marble mosaics in Europe and will do so in this country.
