Several months ago our readers were In
formed Of the proposed addition to the pub
fishing and business portion OF the Times
building, rendered necessary by the papers
increasing business. The same reasons do
manded corrcspondingiy extensive improve
ments In the mechanical departments Of the
establishment. These improvements have
been almost completed. New fonts Of type,
Hoes patent cases, new engines, new boilers,
larger space for our printing machines and
pressmen, a new Walter pross, with the pc
euliar process Of stereotyping connected with
II. Chambers folding machines, Otis Broth
ers patent elevator, and everything that
could insure the most rapid and satisfactory
issue Of great journal, arc now In use.
The offices and general outfit of the publish
ing house, by Nogel Il Co., Of this city, are
the subject Of commentator for tho facili-
ties they afford to transact business easily
and without delay. II was tho object Of the
proprietors TO give tho subscribers, adverti-
sers and everybody doing business with them
tho best accommodation possible. There
fore Mr.. jackson, the architect, took the
work In hand with that view, and the result
Is In every respect satisfactory.
The furniture Of the Office IS Of solid black
walnut, and the cabinet fittings are of tho
same material. These apartments, carpeted
with Administer, arc arranged In the follow
ing manner: The cashiers Office fronts on
Park row, next to 1t are Mr.. George Jones'
business and private offices, with the vaults
or safe for the deposit of books aud valuable
documents; then Mr.. &. L. Jones' office;
while beyond are several others. The iron
glrdcrs and ceilings are frescoed. and the
walls are painted French gray with u line Of
frescoing Just above the black-walnut border.
by the removal Of the publishers and cash
ier't rooms from the old office the space for
the clerks to work In was materially increased
on the Park row side, and the counter having
been extended from that eide to the Nassau
street entrance, greater accommodation for
subscribers and advertisers was obtained.
The black walnut iittings, with French panels
and fine glass partitions, set oil the old Office
In an entirely new dress Of tasteful as well us
useful design. The work Of the clerks, too
eau be got through to the better satisfaction
of the persons with whom they are dealing.
But these improvements have been de-
scribod before by our contemporaries. We
desire now TO Inform our friends OF the i'm
portant additions since made 10 other depart
ncnts, by which the faculties for publishing
The Times can DO made equal to all tho de-
nands upon us. In the first place, then, our
has received new fonts of
BREWER, minion, LOnperell, agate and large
variety OF display type for advertisements.
But probably the most important acquisition
IN this department will be recognized by our |
readers in the new agate figures we now use.
they were patented by Bruce's Son q Co., OF
No. 10 Chambers street, and arc o marked
Improvement on the old style. Bruce's In
lentlon gives clear and distinct impression,
he beauty and usefulness Of which will be at
,nco appreciated by our advertising patrons.
