OF LIVERPOOL Leading Fire Insurance Company of the World SOUTHERN DEPARTMENT EMPIRE BUILDING, ATLANTA, GA. A Very Rich Man Says "The American people are prodigal, and our extravagance will have to be paid for by some one. People have taken advantage of prosperity, such as has never been excelled in this country, to be wasteful and extravagant. We are not saving up for the rainy day, for the time of need." How is it with you? Are you saving and creating a fund which will work for you when you can no longer work yourself? Your common sense tells you that it is better to Save Your Money Now even at a sacrifice, if necessary, than to want or be dependent upon others in your old age. But saving is only half your duty. You must invest your savings wisely. An ideal form of investment is a Certificate of Deposit in THE AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK of Nashville, Tennessee, These Certificates are issued for deposits of $25.00 and upwards. They bear interest payable quarterly, semiannually or annually, are negotiable, good as collateral security, and can be renewed at interest periods. AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK Capital.....

It is a valuable contribution to American biographies, and should be in every public library. The book has a photogravure portrait of General Kirby-Smith as he appeared in war time, and facsimile reproductions of the "last official order issued in the Confederate Army." 12 mo; cloth; about 300 pages.

The University Press of Sewanee Tennessee of Sewanee Tennessee THE PRINTING PLANT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF THE SOUTH THE UNIVERSITY PRESS was established in May, 1904, as a place where scholarly printing could be done in a manner harmonious with the tastes of scholarly men of artistic appreciation. A new and perfectly adapted building was erected, housing a plant well equipped and suited to executing the class of work contemplated. The plant consists of three power presses and a type-setting machine, with other necessary machinery, and a large assortment of type. THE PRESS stands as a protest against the fads of modern type design. It seeks for simplicty in the use of type letters, and employs ornament only in harmony with and subordinate to the text illustrated or decorated. It is one of the offices of the typographer to give an added grace to the written message by an intelligent utilization of the principles of appropriateness in the type composition. The thought or idea to be communicated acquires or loses force, directness, clearness or lucidity, or beauty in proportion to the fitness of the typography employed as a medium. The workers at THE PRESS have made a careful study of these principles, and keenly appreciate the need for the judicious assembling of types for pleasing and harmonious effects. The Printing Art, the scholarly magazine of the craft, has recognized this, on several occasions, by awards in its competitons and otherwise. The establishment of THE PRESS seems to be the fulfillment of the dream of the founder of the University, Bishop Polk. His son, Dr. William M. Polk, of New York, has made the following allusion in his Memoirs: "In time it was expected that presses would be established, from which a native literature should be issued. In short, the University Domain was to be fitted and prepared for a home of all the arts and sciences and of liberal culture in the Southern States." In its spirit and aims, however, like the University itself, THE PRESS would not remain provincial, but seeks to make its appeal to the lovers of art in printing and the making of books wherever they may be found. Feeling a measure of confidence in its ability to give entire satisfaction to the most discriminating, THE PRESS solicits correspondence and requests for any printing worth being done well, and will gladly submit specimens of its work.

"From the University Press of Sewanee Tennessee comes a book that makes us of the North to wonder, for bookmaking has been reckoned as among the lost arts below Mason and Dixon's line.... Of this book only 250 copies were made-a number totally inadequate to meet the demand were its graceful beauties known to admirers of fine bookmaking.-Chicago Evening Post. COLLEGE FRIENDSHIPS. By President Charles Cuthbert Hall. French hand-made paper, full Levant, $5.00; limp leather, $2.00. EMERSON'S ESSAY ON COMPENSATION. With an Introduction by Prof. Lewis Nathaniel Chase. Marbled boards, $1.00; paper wrappers, 50 cents. THESE Verses were written by President CHARLES CUTHBERT HALL, and read at the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Delta Psi Fraternity at Williams College. They express the faith, held by many in common with the author, in the continuity beyond the years of the real friendship of souls. The message will be a stimulus and consolation to all to whom it comes. As a piece of bookmaking, the volume is the best that has come from The Sewanee Press. The type used is the beautiful Caslon, and the paper is "Arches" French hand-made. It was dampened before printing and the sheets afterwards smoothed in the dry-press. There is a touch of antique red on the title-page and the colophon is likewise rubricated. Otherwise the volume is without decoration, making its appeal through its dignified simplicity. The entire edition consists of only 180 copies. Of these, ten copies will be bound in full levant with silk ends, stamped in gold; the remaining 170 copies will be bound in limp leather. The special copies are sold for $5 each, and the others at $2 each. THE UNIVERSITY PRESS |
