Bruce, George - 1852

A New Power Press.-- The Lebanon N. H., Whig states that Mr. A H. Cragin of that town, who has been at work for the last year upon a new power press, has completed one which works admirably, and is capable of throwing off from 1500 to 2000 impressions per hour.  It is entirely new in its constructions, simple and compact-- being less than seven feet in length, by four feet wide, and id to be afforded for about $500.

The Whig considers it one of the greatest inventions of the age.  Mr. Cragin will secure a patent, and claim the reward offered by George Bruce, Esq., of New York City, of $1000, for the best press capable of throwing off 500 sheets per hour, with the ordinary labor of two men, and which shall not cost over $500.
