THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTThe Challenge Press Company was founded in 1875 by Messrs. Charles and J. W. Napier, two gentlemen of vast practical experience in all that pertains to the Typographic Art. They are now actively, and upon an extensive scale, engaged in the manufacture of the "Challenge Printing Press," their factory being located at No. 60 Elizabeth Street, and where they possess every facility and appliance for their manufacture upon a most exten- sive scale. Their warerooms are centrally and eligibly located at No. 438 Broadway, where they keep u full assortment of presses, with complete outfits in type and material. The "Challenge" is a marvel of perfection in mechanism, strong and substantial, and yet with outfit complete is shipped to any part of the country for only two dollars and a half. As the circular of the company ably says: "Parents can obtain no better gift for their boys, that will be so conducive to their welfare in the future, than a small printing-press. Boys in this city and elsewhere, who are now doing a good business, started with a small press purchased of us." The company has developed a large and permanent jobbing trade, which extends all over the United States, and requires the services of from twelve to fifteen men in the factory. Retail dealers can sell these presses rapidly and should not fail to write the company for terms and rates.
