CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT:
The Journal-News,
Hillsboro, IL, began printing their own paper in the late 60's with the purchase of a two unit News King. After amassing additional King units during the 80's and 90's they found themselves running full color - unit to unit - across a 9 unit press line. 2015 brought the addition of a WebPress Quad-Stack unit to their King equipment.
"We had been looking at 4 high towers for quite a while but our existing facility has only a ten foot ceiling," states John M. Galer, owner & co-publisher.
"The Quad-Stack addition evolved after imPRESSions Worldwide approached us and showed us how we could incorporate a Quad-Stack into our press line."
Galer reports that since the installation of the Quad-Stack, their startup waste is much lower. "We were selling papers after only 300 copies on the very first press run with the new unit. Registration is excellent and quality is just superb. It has melded extremely well with our existing King Press line."
The Journal-News is twice weekly award-winning family newspaper operation in central Illinois. Press run is 6,100 copies. They also own and print three shoppers and six community weeklies, as well as printing five other area weeklies, one twice weekly newspaper and several monthly accounts.

MEMORABLE QUOTE:
It is the advertiser who provides the paper for the subscriber. It is not to be disputed, that the publisher of a newspaper in this country, without a very exhaustive advertising support, would receive less reward for his labor than the humblest mechanic.
Alexander Hamilton, 1775

INCREASE YOUR VOCAB:
Amphigory
A meaningless or nonsensical piece of writing; especially one intended as a parody.
The first thing that comes to mind is Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky."
Although both words are nouns, "jabberwocky" generally refers to a type of writing or speech, whereas "amphigory" refers to the sample itself.
