i 1HE MILWAUKEE CkNTlNkl5 tno ledulllS pa
per, in influence, enterprise nd circulation in
the State, gives the following account of it
self, at the close of the old year:
! The SENTINEL issues fIom 1000 to IA, 600
copies of the Daily, over 1000 of the Tri-
| Weekly and nearly $1,000 copies of the
| Weekly edition, and four editions OF the daily
per day are printed during the business sea-
son of the year. Now it has complete Ed
itorial staff, paid correspondents at the State,
and National Capitols, i'll Europe, and in the
army,-employs over sixty persons in the va
rious departments of the establishment, and
enjoys an advertising patronage second to but
one or two papers West of New York City.
To accommodate the growing wants of
their increasing business the Proprietors of
the Sentinel have erected anew building which
they now occupy, of which they give the fol-
lowing account:
TIE SENTINEL BUILDING
The SENTINEL BUILDING, we will say for
the benefit of strangers to the city, s situated
on the south side of Mason street, between
East Water and Main, and Immediately east of
the Walker House The building has a front
of sixty-four feet and eight inches and runs
back to the end of the lot In external ap-
pearancs it presents plain, yet tasteful and
substantial boxing front OF the best quality
of Milwaukee brick, the caps and stills being
of smoothly dressed white limestone. The
handsome central doorway, the height Of the
STORIES the general neatness of architectural
appearance, and the bronze statue of Frank
lin in the centre and near the summit of the
building, would especially attract the atten-
ton of all observers.
| In internal arrangement and complete
adaptation to the wants of a large Newspa-
per and Job Printing Establishment, we be.
lieve that The SENTINEL BUILDING is unsur-
passed anywhere i'll the Union, if indeed it
can be equalled. The large amount of
ground room has enabled the proprietors to
concentrate nearly all the business of the es-
tablishment upon the first and second floors,
thus securing a degree Of convenience not
generally even approached in newspaper
buildings.
Upon the first floor are the large Job Rooms
containing six fast steam Presses and every
other facility for doing job Printing; the
| Mailing Room i'll which is a substantial vault
for the security Of the mailing lists; a large
| Press Room with one OF Hoes Double Cylin-
| DER over IT6SSCS. on NlllCl lib le
printed, aud patent Folding Machine; all
Engine Room, and Wetting Room in which
the paper for the various editions is dampen-
ed. The propelling power of the various
Presses, is a splendid twenty horsepower en-
CINE, made at the extensive Machine Shops
of our feIIow-citizen, William Goodnow.
On the second floor are the Counting Room,
which will compare with that of any Bank in
size and elegtnce,-a consultation room for
the proprietors, large common Editorial
Room, and the Editors Sancturn solidly
built vault for valuable papers and the files
of the Sentinel, composing room,-a room
for line Job stock, and Book Bindery.
On the third floor is the spacious and ele.
giant Library and Reading Room ofthe Young
Mems Association. A more cheerful, better
arranged, Or better lighted Reading Room cal
not be found anywhere.
On the fourth floor is another Composing
Room, connected by dumb waiter and speak
ing tube with the Editors Room. In this
room ten female compositors are employed, ii
addition to the force of male compositors EN-
ployed in the News Composing Room on tbs
second floor. This feature of the establish
ment is somewhat new, but has proven al
entire success.
