THE BULLETIN WILL INSTALL
ANOTHER PRESS
The Bulletin has purchased an-
other newspaper press—a high-
speed Miehle—from a large pub-
lishing house in Abilene, and will
install it this week. Marvin Hay,
our shop manager, will go to
Abilene today to get the press, and
Troy Pingleton will bring it down
to Bandera with his large trucks
and equipment. The Miehle is
said to be the best newspaper and
book press, and we feel fortunate
in securing it to help us take care
of the growing needs of our print-
ing establishment. The Abilene
concern, the Christian Chronicle
Publishing Co., has just installed
a $30,000 press in their big print-
ing plant, and as soon as we heard
they would sell their Miehle we
lost no time in buying it. Our old
8-column quarto Walter Scott
newspaper press is now fur sab’
at a bargain.

“Yes”, replied the lad, pointing
to one puppy which was wagging

Besides being the autobiography of an old time itinerant court
try printer and newspaper man, it is full of humorous remi-
niscences and some,good history, in it you will find mention
Df many people you knew personally in different Texas coun-
ties. This old printer tells in pleasing style the story of his
peregrinations (wanderings) through West Texas, New Mexi-
co, Arizona, and even Old Mexico; how he and a fellow news-
paper man had to leave “between two day8" and ride in n
side-door pullman (box car) through to K1 Paso with thi
Mexican rttrales hot, on their trail; of his experience as a sheep-
herder; of two uneasy days he spent, entertaining a noted
outlaw in his sheep camp; of meeting noted characters, both
famous and infamous; and of many other thrilling events and
at last he “settled down” in Bandera to spend his remaining
years among the best people on earth.
