CHICAGO ENTERPRIsE.-THE MANUFAcruRrSe
INTERESTS OF THE GARDEN CIrY.-THE Mosr
EXTENSIVE MAP AND ATLAS M~ANUFAcroRY IN
THE UNITED STATES. The Chicago Times of
August 20, under the above head, gives an ar
ticle on the Atlas Publishing Establishment of
Al Andreas. After speaking of Chicago as a
manufacturing center, etc., il says:
These remarks are suggested by a visit to the
extensive and magnificent atlas and nap pub
fishing house of Capt. a. T. Andreas, situated
In the Lakeside Building, on the southwest cor
ner of Clark and Adams streets. Mr.. Andreas,
besides being one of our most energetic business
men, Is one of the most experienced map pub
fishers in this country, and is well and favor
ably known from Maine TO California. he
launched out In the business of atlas and map
publishing in this city some seven years ago,
and as an evidence OF his character and bus.
iness ability, it is only necessary to state in this
connection that his business transactioas in
county and sectional maps during the past year
reached the enormous sum of S50O,OO0, while his
operations this year will exceed 100000. At
the present time Mr.. Andreas has los men en-
ployed in Minnesota surveying, ~draughting and
soliciting. The Minnesota State Atlas will be
completed early in October next, and from
draughts submitted to our inspection, we do
not hesitate to say it will be the most perfect
state, county and sectional map ever published
In the West. 1t will not only be perfect in Civ
ing boundaries OF counties. sections, towns and
cities, but will show all the timber, prairIes,
streams, rail and wagon roads. churches and
school houses, each county being mapped sep
arately by itself. 1t will also contain fine en-
cravings of the more prominent buildings. as
well as photographic portraits and biographies
of some of the most prominent men in the
state. In fact, SO far as can be judged from the
details of the work now in hand. 1t will be one
of the most perfect and valuable productions in
the way of a state atlas ever published. Some
idea of the magnitude of the work may be
gained when it is known that the paper en-
ployed weighs something over 20 tons, while the
card board Tor the covers alone exceeds IL tons
And when completed and ready for shipment
to Minnesota it will reqdire the service of II
ordinary freight cars. One making a visit to
the establishment of Capt. Andreas will see
hundreds Of men employed lithographing
printing, draughting, and book-binding. In
short, the establishment gives employment to
hundreds ofmen and women, and is a perfect bee
hive of Industry, aad under the experienced eye
and guiding hand ofthe Captain, everything is
conducted in the most perfect harmony. There
are few places in the city where one can learn
more by a visit, or gain a better insight into
the progress OF manufacturing in this city than
at the map and atlas publishing house of MI.
Andreas. 1t is certainly the largest establish
ment of the kind in this country, and The
Times does not hesitate in the additional
statement that it turns out better and more
perfect maps and aliases than any other house
in this or any other country. This is putting ii
pretty strong, yet the facts will fully warrant
1T. Besides the Minnesota State Atlas, Mr.. A.
has a large force engaged in preparing country
maps for the northwest portion of Ohio, and the
northeast portion of Indiana, the headquarters
and office of which operations are at Toledo,
where the business is conducted under the firm
name of Andreas & Baskin.
Under the firm name of Andreas, Baskin &
Burr, they are making aliases of counties IN
Eastern New York, and beginning the publica-
ton ofan extensive atlas of the state of Con-
n%ecticut, with an Office In New York City. Capt.
Andreas has commenced the preliminary work
for an atlas of the state OF Iowa, and If he sees
his enterprise will meet the support he has every
reason to think it will, he viii soon throw a
force of I5O men into the state to work details.
etc., and in about one years time will produce
a work which win not only be an immense con-
venience to all classes, but will show up the
beauties, wealth and prosperity of the state, as
1t could be in no other way.
