AHEAD IN PRODUCTION The New Cleveland Models operate at speeds 50% faster than older models. This feature, together with the continuous feeder- no stops for reloading- assures hourly production far in advance of any other folder... Ask for literature- ask for a representative.

Three GREAT CLEVELANDS!
"Greatness is Achieved - not Accorded" The achievements of these three Modern clevelands have won for them the motto: "Years Ahead in Performance"- and no wonder! When you install one
of these Models you are getting the cumulative benefits of years of investigations, surveys, mechanical engineering and invention, and the most modern production methods.
First in Production and Earning Power THE GREAT MODEL "W" This Smallest of Clevelands folds the great variety of small work, circulars, package inserts, letters, greeting cards, etc., in one to five folds, at top speeds with the greatest accuracy. The Continuous Reloading Feature of its Feeder, with no stops for reloading, gives you the highest possible output per hour at unbelievably low cost per 1000. The Air Wheel Feature provides for folding of high class work having heavy illustrations and bleed edges without marking.
with Continuous Feeder Folds Sheets 4 x 6" to 22 x 32" THE GREAT "DOUBLE-O" This Middle-Size Folder gives you the quick Folding Service present day Direct Mail and Job Printing demands. A check-up of thousands of Direct Mail pieces reveals that 96% come within the size and folding range of the "double-o." The "double-o" is unequalled for accuracy and variety of folds. Its high speed and continuous feeding- no stops for reloading- assure the high volume that often makes folding your most profitable operation on the job.
THE GREAT "DOUBLE-M" Every fold, as far as we know, that can be made on all other types and makes of jobbing folders, comes within the folding range of the "double-m", in sheet sizes up to 28 x 58". In addition, the "double-m" makes a great variety of folds that cannot be made on any other folder, in parallels, right angles or combinations of parallel and right angle folds. Equipped with Continuous Feeder- no stops for reloading. Fifty per cent faster, and far more versatile and convenient, than its predecessor, the old MODEL "B" CLEVELAND.
For your FOLDING requirements it will pay you to become better acquainted with these three great clevelands that will improve your folding service, with extra profits to yourself.
