Scott Co. which had furnished the Minneapolis Star and Erie Dispatch-Herald with three-color units capable of running at full speed; R. Hoe & Co. (TIME, May 2) which furnished the Seattle Times with two-color units; and Claybourn Co. which gave to the Pittsburgh Press what Mr. Wood promised the Chicago Tribune, only at half the speed...
...Hoe, it's the best." Not every pressroom foreman agrees with this proud motto of R. Hoe & Co., Inc., maker of presses since 1803.

High-speed color printing for newspapers is Mr. Wood's chief interest and in it he will recognize only one rival, the Claybourn Press (used by the Pittsburgh Press).

Thelma Lane lived peacefully on a hill farm near Glen Hazard, Tennessee mountain town. Her brother Chad lived with her; from dawn to dusk he swung a dirty hoe. Just as he had about got the farm paid for, in came City-Man Lynn Clayton who had inherited some deserted coal mines next door. The outlander, financed by his friend Lida Grant who came with him to watch his operations, planned to make coal-bricks out of the deserted coal-dust, sell it to the city's poor. His meat was Glen Hazard's poison. First he ordered the Lanes...
