"We have been altering over our office somewhat during the last week, in order to economise space, laid 350 pounds of new agate, 200 pounds of minion, besides small founts of diamond and Greek type, notwithstanding the hard times; and six extra journeymen compositors besides our usual complement of hands, are busy as bees picking up the little jewels which are to write for future generations to read, and their cheerful 'click&mdash;click' as they tumble into place under the printer's hand, makes music all the day." (The Union and Journal: "Local Affairs", 1869-12-24, Biddeford, Maine, USA)
