Excerpt from From Paper-Mill to Pressroom

In the following pages I have endeavored to present a treatise on paper free from confusing technicalities, yet sufficiently, yet sufficiently intimate to be of service alike to the manufacturer, the salesman, and the consumer of paper viewing the subject in a broad way from the paper mill to the pressroom. The manufacturer and the consumer may notice the omission of some details, as I have aimed to touch mainly on such points as are essential to a good understanding of the work-a-day problems of paper after it reaches the printer.

I am convinced that in many cases the problems of the pressroom are too slightly understood by the "paperman, " while the technicalities of paper-making are only too vaguely comprehended by the printer. I also feel that both should have at least an acquaintance with the history and progress of paper-making.
