This issue of the Fort Frances Times you are now reading is a product
of the first "run" of the new Goss Cox-O_Type automatic roll-fed
newspaper press which has been installed in the Fort Frances Times over
the month.
This modern newspaper press, of the latest design in its class, produced
by the world famous Goss newspaper press company, it is equipped with a
Goss Cox-O_colour attatchment which permits the printing of colour on certain
pages on the same "run" as the black ink is printed.
The large press was of course installed by factory representitives who have
been working on the job for the past two weeks.
Of interest is the press foundation, which alone entails an expenditure,
including press pit and concrete floor of over $3,000.
The press room, located in the building adjoining the Times building on
the east is one of the most modern anywhere.
It has double door access so that paper rolls are brought right into the
building with the truck unloading motorized protable cranes.
The building, when double dooors are tightly closed, is air conditioned
with positive humidity and temperature controls, two vital essentials to
good press operation and good printing.
The newsprint used is, as hereforto, entirely the product of the Fort Frances
papermill, made form wood fibre supplied by district farmers, pulp cutters,
contractors and company operations from their own timber in the district.
