    • 1922, Cassell and Company, The Story of the House of Cassell, Part 2, Chapter 10:
      Yet, as the interest is still gripped by the process of printing, the mind becomes conscious that every minute or two a trolley load of paper is run through the alley ways between the machines, coloured paper for covers and "jackets," toned paper for books, and piles upon piles of sheets glistening white in the light, coming to satisfy the appetite of the machines printing the serials which bear the imprint of the House.
