| TEXT | One of the leading, most active and enterprising printing-houses in the metropolis is that of Messrs. J. J. Little & Co., of Nos. 10 to 20 Astor Place. The concern was founded in 1867, and has had just such a progressive and successful career as would be predicated from . a knowledge of the copartners. These gentlemen are Mr. J. J. Little and Mr. W. Jennings Demorest. They occupy five floors of one of the most centrally located, modern built blocks in the city, and which is the largest and the best organized printing-house in New York. It takes a leading position in the production of the finest book, pamphlet and magazine work, and is fitted with the most approved modern presses and appliances, and offers superior inducements to the publishing trade for the prompt execution of the largest orders in fine book work, and printing generally. The long experience of Mr. Little as a practical printer gives the-firm a great advantage in the business world, and they number among their customers many of the best and largest publishing houses of the city and country at large. They offer special advantages from the fact of their having such a large and skilled staff, excellent outfit, and the systematic management everywhere visible. They employ an average of three hundred people, and keep nearly fifty presses constantly running, often day and night. Their electrotyp-ing department is one of the largest and best equipped in New York, as is also their bindery. Their trade, which is of a correspondingly extensive character, has expanded till it covers the entire country, and reflects great credit on the enterprise and honorable methods of the firm. Mr. Little is a well known and popular member of our mercantile community, and prior to embarking in business he served for three enlistments in the federal army, during the war of the rebellion (he not being of age at the time of his first enlistment), serving during portions of 1862, '63 and '64, thus giving ample proof of his loyalty and patriotism. After the war he embarked in the printing business, and has manifested talents of a high order, both in an executive capacity as a practical printer, and as a progressive and enterprising leader in all that benefits this noble art. Mr. W. Jennings Demorest is in every respect a representative citizen. He is also proprietor of one of the leading illustrated magazines in the United States, Demorest's Monthly, a publication which is ably edited, beautifully illustrated, and wields a great imfluence for good throughout the land, its pure and moral tone being too rare nowadays in our popular magazines. Both co-partners having been connected for so long a time with interests involving large capital and the best of trained skill and good judgment, have universally inspired their customers with a feeling of confidence and respect for their talents and integrity, and this places their house in a thoroughly representative position in the printing trade of the metropolis. |
