The daily Minnesota pioneer. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1854-1855, 1854-11-25

Removal OF the Pioneer Office to the I,
Corner Of Third. and Jackson Streets.
This warnings Pioneer is the last number
we shall issse from our present location. a
Oh Monday I'VE shan be regulated II curl
neg Office, corner Of jackson and Third
streets, in the second story Of the building
heretofore known as "The Minnesota Store"
and the building adjoining. In this new To-
cation, where we shall have more room, and
better facilities for prosecuting our business,
we shall be happy to see the, old and'new
patrons of our'establishment
We cannot part with the old shell which
has covered the material Of our office for so
many years,without feeling Of half regret.
Five winters ago, the whole Office was cram
med into the small part which now fronts
on Third Street - and, that was SO loosely
constructed, that not unfrequently it was
necessary to clear the types of snow which
had blown in Of windy night, before ope-
rations could be commenced the next morn
ing. The small medium press on which the
Pioneer was printed in its early days we
still retain, quite as much for the associations
connected with it, as for any purpose of
utility. This press was one Of the first, if
not the first, ever brought west Of the lakes.
We cherish feeling of regard for the IMAM
innate machine, almost as strong as if it had
borne sentient port in producing the week
" sheets which were loaded with the strong
intelligence and brilliant wit Of the Founder
of the Pioneer.
The changes which have occurred since
then, are in some degree indicative of the
growth of the establishment Materials for
building being scarce, Col. GooDHUE first at
tached his dwelling, and then his stable
making in all, the somewhat Enthusiastically
shaped building from which Pioneers have
been ground out" these last five years. -
The business Of the paper has outgrown its
tenement, and We are forced to quit the
rickety old specimen of architectural patch
work, for the spacious and convenient build
ings which have been arranged for our &C
comimodation
In this new location, we shall be ready,
as soon as the n1achinists permit, to transact
business in regular "city" style. We have
been obliged, by a regard to our own, and
the public, interests, to discard the old
fashioned, slow and easy hand-presses, for
the latest and best make Of TAYLoRs
CYLINDER PRINTING MACHINES, which will
be driven by STEAM. Corresponding inn
pruTenents have been made in every de-
parlment Of our establishment, which,
together, will enable Us to do Jobbing and
Book Work at much lower prices than could
he afforded under the old system We shall
anticipate large increase Of business in
these departments. .' " .'1
The occasion weaM Ec a1s appropriate
one for reviewing the growth and progress
of St. Paul, which, daring the existence of
the PIONEER, has arisen from nothingness
into the dignity and importance Of psos-
porous city. But the tongues are all
around US in our busy streets, our imposing
blocks, our spacious warehouses, our sub
stantial public buildings, our elegant private
residences, which speak louder than we can
in her praise. We can only add, that, as
the PIONEER ushered into being with the
birth of ST. Paul, and has grown with its
growth, and strengthened,with it's strength"
it shall hereafter keep pace with the require
ments Of its business, and, so far as we can
make it so, remain consistent with its title,
as the PIONEER in all enterprises which are
necessary or advisable in first class print
ing establishment Fo1thhs" s.
