dollarsper week, to nearly 81 800 per week.
1t owes nothing outside its current bills,
which are promptly settled. "Pay as you
go" is its motto. Its business has so increas-
ed that some six months ago it was found
| that its power press was inadequate for its
circulation, and Il splendid Hoe press was
purchased. 1t now has an entirely new
dress in which this issue is published, and
has in its composing room material enough
| for two newspapers ofits size. With its new
! press, its new dress, its new folding machine,
It's new mailer and its new home, Of which
We will speak further on, the Daily HERALD
| is a living evidence of what newspaper en-
tcrprise, properly directed, and intelligent
energy, will accomplish. The
WEEKLY HERALD
has grown and kept pace with the daily as
it has advanced and developed, and it is
now one of elargest and widest circulated
in the entire state. From this day on, the
weekly, like the daily, will be constantly
improved in all of its branches, until it
arrives at such degree of excellence that
no citizen ofall this section of the country
will afford to do without it. Having said
this much for our paper, we now propose to
say few words of
THE HERALD BUILDING.
The business of the HERALD has been in
creasing so rapidly that it soon became evil
dent that the quarters ii occupied so long
were not large enough, nor were they stu
ated sufficiently convenient to answer its
purposes; therefore. arrangements were
made last spring for the construction of an
exactly adapted building. In this connec-
ton we cannot refrain from remarlling that
our landlord, Mr.. H. p. Lantz, has ever
been as accommodating as gentleman
could possibly be, and although he knew
that there were tenants ready for his house
f1,a III IrrDA 7 N r1nN
still, that he might be of service to the pro-
prietors in their efforts to make a great
paper of the HERALD, he offered to add
another story to his building, and other
wise enlarge and improve it so as to
meet all requirements, but the propretors
deemed it more to their interest to Sc
cure permanent home of their own, and
in part of the city more convenient TO
their especial wants. To this end, Messrs.
Kahn & Campbell, of this city, proposed to
erect building to conform in every partic-
ular. with the needs of the proprietors of
their growing business. Plans and specif-
cations were at once prepared for a model
newspaper office, every detail and arrange
ment being studiously made for the conven-
fence of every department, and these gem
tlemen forthwith began the building, and
since the day that dirt was FIRST broken the
work has progressed as regularly as men
and money and the procuring OF material
would permit, and although not line OF
writing has been made, these gentlemen,
whose word is as good as their bond, and
whose reputation for honorable treatment
and integrity, wherever they are known, is
have gone on with the work,
expressing their entire willingness to make
any changes of plan that might seem
best. The brick for this build
ing were made especially for. it
and arc ola superior character, and every
foot of lumber used in its construction has
been scrutinizingly selected. The building
