This temperaturecontrol is of great value because the ink iskept at a constant degree of consistencywhich naturally is reflected in the qualityof printing. An economy of fuel is like-wise produced by the action of this thermo-stat, which reduces the volume of gas tothe required point. Based on a yearly consumption basis,600,000 cubic feet of gas will be used inthis plant at a cost of $500. This willmean high quality of printing and comfort-able, sanitary quarters for the an expenditure can be capitalized tofinancial advantage by this progressive firmin excellence of product and increased vol-ume of output due to the high condition ofefficiency attained.
