Klopp & Ba ILLUSTRATED BEE August 17, 1902, rtlett Company LITHOGRAPHERS, PRINTERS Of the many places of Interest to the sight- neeing public Is the modern printing estab- lishment; although one of the oldest arts, it is one of the least understood. Printing was known in anclent China in the twelfth century. In the fourteenth century playing were printed In Frankfort, Germany. The first real ad- vance in printing was the Invention of the movable types, about the middle of the fifteenth century, and the letters that are in vogue today were first introduced in Hogiand in ihe year 1470, B0 on dowa the ages untll we come to our own city and take a trip through the modern printing and press rooms of the Klopp & Bartlett Co. cards 'BOOK BINDERS BLANK BOOK MAKERS Mr. Charles Klopp, the senior member of the firm, formed a partnership with Mr. Wdward Bartlett, his brother-in-law, now Jdeceased, in 1885, both men being experi- eénced printers. Later the firm was in- corporated as Klopp & Bartlett Co., his brother, A. T. Klopp, joining them. They started in a small room on Farnam street, business increasing so that the two top floors of the Lytle block_ were used. Within the last month the company moved into their own building on the southwest corner of Tenth and Douglas streets, three stories and basement., covering a floor space of 17,424 square feet. The buillding is fully equippéd with all modern improvements. The walls are of brick and painted white throughout. In the basement the machin- ery s run with a 38-horse power motor, the electricity being supplied from the Omaha Street Rallway company. Of the other machines used in the different press rooms on the second and third floors, each has its own individual electric motor, and with a 48-horse power boller for heating makes it one of the most perfect structures of its kind anywhere, also private tele- phones connecting from one floor to the other. Goinz down the stairs through the main office into the basement, we find the job- bing and nress rooms. The floors are ce- ment and the windows on the four sides give a strong light. There are nine large presses, two of these being the latest im- proved model of the Meihle machine, which Corner 10th and Douglas Streets, $5,000,000 MABK PASSED. The Loyal Patrons of Home Indus- try and Believers in' Upbuilding Home Institutions Will Re- Jjoice to Know Th it THE BANKERS RESERVE LIFE Has Now More Than §5,000,000 Risk Upon the Best Selected Lives In the West. B. H. Robison, president of the Bankers Reserve Life Association, published a bulle- tin last week announc'ng that the week's applications carried the association by the $5,000,000 mark. This is a most remarkable record, for the company wrote its first policy five years ago. Organized before the Iowa stipulated premium law had been adopted Iin Ne- braska, the first two years of the company's career contained nothing phenomenal. Three years ago adapting its polici's to the present law, the Bankers Reserve Life Assoclation immediately began to make its presence felt in the western insurance fleld. Three years ago only about half a mil- lion was at risk. Today more than $5,000,- 000 is in force. The premium receipts and assets of the company have correspondingly increased. Five dollars of assets have been accumu- lated to meet every dollar of actuarial lla- bility. The year 1901 was a banner year, but 1902 breaks all records and the Bankers Re- serve will go into 1903 with $6,000,000 of in- surance in force. In another year the business will reach $10,000,000, and the beauty of it all is that overy dollar of assets 1s In Nebraska. It is a western institution, officered by west- ern men, full of western enthusiasm, de- termined that this western enterpr'se shall not only win, but win triumphantly. B. H.

In the rear of the basement are the electric power, fur- nace or boiler rooms, also the elevator which runs to the top floor, carrying freight or passengers. Oa the first floor is the main office, with two private office rooms adjoining, and to the right and back is the room of the litho- grapher, where is done all the stone en- graving preparatory for the reproduction on the lithograph machines, which are in the back of the first floor. Lithographing work is Klopp & Bartlett Co’s. specialty, employing men of ex- perience and of necessity artistic taste. To really appreciate the exquisite work a per- son must go and see for themselves. On the second floor is what is called the binding room. Twelve different machines are in use here, thirty-five girls being em- ‘ployed during the busy season, some letter- ing the leaves, some stitching the cata- logues or blank books that are so univer- sally used and manufactured by this com- pany, others folding or ruling the sheets, all employed and not a single idle hand at rest. The top floor is used for stock or supply, and here we are, at the end of our trip, 1 irust, with the way our postal cards are litho- graphed or our blank books are made and catalogues printed a litlle wiser and beller acquainted Omaha, Neb.
