KINNETH EVANS Became the general public i to closely in contact with printing and as it is quite generally accepted as a matter of course, too little attention and consideration has been given the economic importance of printing and the print ing industry. The expansion and progress of the printing trades in the last SO years has been outstanding to an al most unbelievable perfection, yet, few people have even a modicum of knowledge of its economic importance. How ever, if one will but stop for a second or two, and, review in .his mind the many times he comes in contact with print ing of some nature throughout the day, he might get some idea of its exlensivcness. Printing enters intimately into the lives of every one almost every hour, in every day of the year. The perfection of the printing In- , duMry aa It stands today ). one pernonallwd service. Integrity and renaoimy. never nas tne manage ment of the Smith-Bates Printing Company permitted an Inferior printing Job to leave the building. Where unavoidable errors or mis understandinga have come about they have all been adjusted to the satisfaction of the customer. This background of the Smith Bates Printing Co., la something for the buyers of printing, located In the region, to take Into consid eration. Frequently these buyers of printing receive in the malls quo tstions for printing from establish ments located In other sections of the country, that seem to be so low In price that they are inclined to take advantage of It. However, paper costs are universal and wages are established. There Is only one way that lower prices could be quoted, and that Is by doing an Inferior grade of work and using cheaper grades of paper. Since "first Impressions are last ing Impressions." and printing is usually the first contact made with customers, commerce end Industry, consideration should always be giv en to the class of printing used. More often than not a firm is Judged by the class of printing It uses in letter-heads, envelopes, statements, etc. These outside printing establishments, with their cheaper prices, are not available for adjustments or corrections. The Smtth-Bstes Printing Com pany has one of the latest model Linotype machines, Model 31, for setting a variety of type faces and sites which was Installed last year. A Kelley automatic Job press, a Kelley automatic letter preas, 2 platen presses, a multllith press (off-set)-v a ruling machine, Baum folding machine and, auxiliary equipment such as paper cutter, drills, punches. Including many fonts of type for hand-set work contribute to the ability of the Smith-Bates Printing Company to do only quality work of all kinds. These facilities and quality work have been recognised by almost all of the lumber mills In the Pa cific Northwest which universally, use the mill forms that have been created and printed by Smith Bates. Barney Cavanaugh is kept con stantly in the field served by Smith Bates Printing Company, as sales man. He makes regular route trips as far as Redding, Alturas, Lake view, and the four-county field ad jacent to Klamath Falls. A large printing business has been devel oped and has been retained through his efforts augmented by the high quality printing supplies. The Smith-Bates Printing Com psny acts as distributors for the Mailwell envelopes, known for their quality, and the firm handles close to 800-thousand of these envelopes annually. School annuals have been published, year after year, and oth er periodicals and booklets are designed and printed. Prom 10 to 12 local people are regularly em ployed. The company keeps con stantly In touch with advancements made In the printing Industry by memberships with the Printing In dustry of America, and Master Printers of Oregon. Otto L. Smith has served as president of the Mas ter Printers of Oregon and Is, to day, on the board of directors. vocation and perhaps the only one thnt has been handed down through the ages as far back as 4.000 B.C. The earliest known printing of record are the carved Inscriptions on tablets of baked clay which were excavated from the Chaldean city of Nippur. Such tablets were In those pre-hlstorlc days. Printed Inscriptions cut in wood, stone or other more or less durable materials, continued to be used for a long time after more convenient materials were in gen eral use. Even In thoae days ad vancementa were made, and from 400 B.C. to 00 A.D., the greater part of all writings was done on pspyrus. This wss followed by parchment made from the skins of goats, sheep or calves. Some of these scrolls of papyrus were 120 feet In length and rolled for convenience of use. THE CHINESE STARTED THE INDUSTRY Printing on paper by means of engraved blocks, which was the actual beginning of the develop ment of the printing systems in use today, wss done By tne cm nese aa early as so yeara B.C Johannes Outenberg. Mains. Oer msny, operated a printing shop In 1450 where he first experimented with letters carved from wood and later used type carved or crat from metals. The first book known to hsve been printed from movable1 type Is the Outenberg Bible, in Latin, which waa completed In about 1456, Firrv years or ADVANCEMENT ' Even fifty yeara ago the print Ing Industry, aa It la today, waa atlll In its Infsncy from the stand point of advancement. That was before the rotary perfecting presses, oft-set printing, automatic letter presses and process color work hsd been perfected. However, the commercial and Industrial world had begun to use printing more extensively, and there was a universal demand for Increased quality and diversity prompted by competition. W. O. Smith was engaged In the newspaper field and printing busi ness in Klamath Palls back In 1121 and the building which houses the Smith-Bates Printing Company, 132 South Fifth. In Klamath Falls, was built the year before, for this purpose. Mr. Smith retired from the printing business Jsn. 1, 1941, but, not before he had watched It progress to its high standarda of efficiency today. He pasted away early In the winter of Ml. Olio L.
