One day last week Sir. Perkins, the general sales manager of the Nystrom Map conipany, asked-us to, corne down and ;visit -the place wbere be works. We took Craiwford avenue to Elstonl avenue and about -tbreeblocks south- east on ElIston we came to the factory. Wben we arrived,, Mr. Perkins showedý us some atlases. These atiases ranged ail the. way f rom aGoode' s scbool atlas to a, German two-voum atlas. The maps in the Germnan atlas had every town and burg imaginable marked on them. Then we, went upstairs to wvhere the workers wvere putting -the rollers on the-wall maps. There is no chance of the. rollers coming off. because, tbey are £oth glued, and tacked ,together. On, this floor *we also watched the making of j ig-sawv puzzles. Some of these puzzles- are* cui into as many as 200 piecés. The part whicb I thougbt was the most iteresting was the place wbere the workers made the zinc plates. from which the maps are litbographed. For one colored map seven zin~c plate must be made. Five of the plates are color plates in red, pink, blue. green and yellow, the other two being the plate with the printing on and the one with the- mountains. There is no- chance of raised $1.65; the second, 70 cents, and1 the third, 95 cents. - Altogether we havei $3.30., the. window will' cost us ol 91 cents.
