Printers Abandon Useless Work.
Daily newspapers in part owe their cheapness to an omission that at first seemed bold enough. For many years printing paper, made in continuous rolls each of a mile or more, used to be cut into sheets, fed one by one to the press. It was a long stride in economy when the printer left the roll alone, and let an automatic press feed itself from the unwinding paper, cutting off a sheet only after the printing.
