Reproduction of documents and
leaves missing from books is effected
at the General library with precision
and economy, by the photostat meth-
od, according to Librarian W. W. Bis-
hop.
A photostat is produced by a photo
developing machine which copies by'
means of a camera, any object in black
or white. It will not photograph col-
ors. To secure a photostat of a chart
or page, first a negative is taken on
a film which changes it to white let-
ters on a black background. ThenI

background, just as the original was'
"You can reproduce a short article
'for less than the cost of transporta-
tion both ways," said Mr. Bi'shop. "It
is also a tremendous ttime-saving
method. But the best points about!
photosta'ting is that you can have a
copy without revision and, that you'
can keep your copy."
If a card list is to be reproduced,.
by placing them in such a position
that only the data to be copied re-'
mains in sight, a great many cards
can be duplicated on a single page.
A photostat cannot make a mistake
and no revision is necessary, nor
can one "doctor" a photostat as with
a p otograph plate, to produce false
results.
A photostat of the originMal copy can
be eitJer reduced or enlarged to any
size desired, the largest being 18x22
inches. "Suppose you' have a very
rare books that lacks the title page
and pcrhaps one or two others," said
Mr. Bishop, "we can supply these
from a photostat of another copy from
the iibrary and you can have the book
rebou'nd and it will then be complete."
This, the University is ,doing now for
other libraries. One particular enter-
prise the University has undertaken
is the rep'roduction of more than 100
books, in .ten copies each. These are
all books of which only one printed
copy is known to eist. The Clements
library here is one of ten libraries re-
ceiving a share of this enterprise.
The University has rendered by
means of the photostat, complete file of
tside of the University.

vertising-classifieds.

"Commercial photostating is done in
the large cities at fairly high rates,"
explained Mr. Bishop, "but the Uni-
versity does the work at cost. The
charges are 25 cents for an ordinary
page and 50 cents for a page the
size of a newspaper. This is what it
costs the University to do the work.
Mrs. Alvina M. Woodford is the photo-
stat operator but applications for
photostating must Lz obtained through

Stage-This Week
A whole lot of the make-believe has been
eliminated from selling operations in the
past ten year's. The old idea that sales-
me'n were born to the sample-ease, that
they carried some sort of a special diplo-
ma from the University of Pooh, has had
to break camp, along with the other
exploded theory which insisted that a
salesman must be a "good fellow", a-man
of strange habits, tremendous stories,
and unquestioned' qualities both as a
mixer, and as an assimilator.
Now we believe-nay, we know-
that, the best salesman is the man who
knows most about his goods, and can
talk most interestingly about them.
This being the proven case, it i6n't so
queer thatengineering should find a real
and effective application in the selling
field, especially if the merchandise iar-
keted is an engineering pioduct that is,
bought and operated by engineers.
Every engineer who now engages in
the sale and distribution of Westinghouse
products feels that 'he vis doing work
worthy of his training-for he is carrying
Service and Sincerity to Industry, and
to mankind! He is out where the fighting
is often the fiercest, and he is putting up
a battle for the things that he believes
are right. And a man can't expect, nor
ask, a bigger chance than that!
Sixty percent, approximately, of the
engineering graduates who come to
Westinghouse find their way eventu-
ally into some phase of selling. And
-we are prod to have them there-and
they are 'glad to be there!
