The Chicago Times Of August
Goth. under the above head, gives an
article OH the Atlas Publishing Es-
adjustment of a. r. Andrcas.
After speaking Of Chicago as man
ufactaring center, etc, it says:
"Ihese remarks are suggested by
visit to the extensive and magnit::-
cent atlas and map Publishing house
Of Capt. \. L. Andreas, fi:uated in
tie Lakeside Building, on the south
west corner OF Clark and Adams
streets. Mr.. Andreas, besides being
one of our most energetic business
men, is one ofthc most experienced
map publishers in this country, and
is well and t.iyorably known from
Maine to California. He launched
out in the business Of atlas and map
publishing in this city some seven
wears ago, and as an evidence Of his
character and business ability, it is
only necessary to state III this con
nection that his business transactions
in county and sectional maps during
the past year re9chcd the enormous
sum Of five hundred thousand dollars,
while his operations this yeai' will
exceed one million dollars. At the
pr sent time Mr. .Andfess has one
hundred and eight men employed iii
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
rot hesitate to say it will be the
most perfect state, county, and see
tioral map ever published i'll the
west. 1t will not only be perfect III
! giving boundaries of counties, see
ITEMS, towns and cities, but will show
all the timber, prairies, streams, rail
! and wag IN Dads, churches and
schocI.houSes, each county being
mapped separately by itself. 1t viii
! also contain tine cngravings OF the
mos; prominent buildings as we'll as
photographic portraits and biogra-
phics OF some Of the most prominent
men in the state. In fact, so far as
can he Judged from the details of the
work row in hand, it will be one OF
the most perfect and valuable pro-
ductions in the way of state atlas
ever published. Some idea Of the
magnitude Of the work may be gain
eli when it is known that the paper
employed weighs something over
seventy tons, while the cardboard
/ for the covers alone exceeds seven
teea tons. And when completed
and ready for shipment TO Minnesota
it will require the service OF twelve
ordinary fright cars. One making
IA visit to the establishment Of Capt.
.Andreas, will see hundreds Of men
employed lithographing, printing,
draughting and book-binding. In
short, the establishment gives EN-
ploymcnt to hundreds Of men and
women, and is perfect beehive OF
industry, and under the experienced
eye and guiding hand of the Cap
tim, everything is conducted in the
most perfect harmony. There are
few places in the city where one can
learn more By visit, or gain bet
ter insight into the progress of man
utacturng in this city, than at the
map and atlas publishing house Of
Mr.. Andreas. 1t is &c tainly the
largest establishment Of the kind in
this country, and the 7in'N= does not
hesitate in the additional statement
that 1t turns CIT better and more
perfect maps and aliases than amy
other house in this or any other
country. This is putting it prett,'
strong, yet the facts will fully war
rant i. Besides the Minnesota St"tc
Atlas, Mr. \. has a large force en-
gagged III preparing county maps for
the northwest portion Of Ohio, and
Ihe northeast portion Of Indiana, the
headquarters and Office Of which OPP
cra.ions are at Toledo, where the
business is conducted under the firm
nanlc Of Andreas & Baskin.
Under The firm name of Anlrcas,
Bas!in & Burr, thcy are making at
Eases Of counties iii Eastern New
York, and beginning the publication
Of an extensive atlas Of the State Of
Connecticut, with IN Office iii New
York City. Capt Andreas has com
menced the preliminary work for an
atlas OF the state Of Iowa, and if he
sees his enterprise will meet the sup
port he has every reason to think Ii
viii, he will soon throw a force Of
one hundred and fifty men into the
state to work details, etc, and in
about one year's time will produce a
work which will not only be an i'm
mcnsc convenience to all classes, but
will show UP the beauties, wealth and
prosperity OF the state, as it could be
