| TEXT | The business of lithographing has much of art connected with it. To get the best effects in coloring and the finest shades and tones in stone work brings into play the same taste, skill, and talents that mark the work of the painter or crayon artist. A representative, and one of the leading houses in St. Louis, transacting a general lithographing, printing and engraving business, is that known as the Great Western Printing Company, Nos. 511 and 513 Market street. This business was established in 1881 by the Globe-Democrat Job Printing Company. It was eventually succeeded by the present company, which has been duly incorporated under the laws of Missouri with a paid-up capital of $60,000, and its trade now extends not only throughout the entire United States and Canada, but also Mexico, South America and Australia. They occupy a spacious and substantial four-story and basement building, 32x110 feet in area. The basement is devoted to press work; the first floor to offices and stock; the second to composing, while the third is occupied by artists and engravers, and the fourth is the cutting and trimming room. The plant of machinery is one of the finest in the state, including fifteen presses and other modern appliances, which are operated by a forty horse power steam engine. Here from seventy-five to one hundred skilled workmen are employed, and they keep as transfer artists some of the leading professionals in the United States. All kinds of first-class lithographic and pictorial work is done by this company, from the neat card to the largest and most conspicuous poster, and among their samples of work done may be noted some real works of art. Their facilities also for getting out large catalogues and bookwork, newspapers, railroad and commercial printing of all kinds are unsurpassed in the city. Orders are promptly and carefully executed in the highest style of the art at exceedingly moderate prices, and entire satisfaction is guaranteed to the most critical patron. The officers are enterprising, honorable and able business men and popular citizens. Mr. Donaldson is a well-known member of the St. Louis bar, while Mr. Allen is ex-mayor of the city. Mr. F. Swick, the manager, was formerly connected with the Globe-Democrat Job Printing Company. He is an authority on all matters pertaining to printing and lithography, and carefully supervises all work. Estimates are promptly furnished for all kinds of printing, lithography, etc., upon application, and those giving orders to the company will secure the greatest satisfaction in the thoroughly artistic manner in which all work will be accomplished. |
