THE ONWARD MARCH OF THE
aGElREI

"GLOBE."
1t is something over two years ago since
the GLOBE arranged with Commodore w.
F. Davidson to erect for its use aad occu-
pancy building upon the corner of
Fourth and Cedar streets. The site was at
that time occupied By bill board, but as
the result of the GLOBES application to
the philosophical owner of the ground,
the elegant six-story block, which is an
ornament to the city, is now approaching
completion. The building is the largest
and most imposing structure in the city
and commands the attention and edmira-
ton of all. 1t is to be supplied with cleo
trio light throughout, rapid passenger
| elevator as well as freight elevators, and in
fact all the advantages which money and
modern ingenuity can provide. The steam
will be supplied through street tunnel to
the Opera house plant of boilers and the
building will not have fire within its
walls.
The large and rapidly increasing circu-
lation of the GLOBE, has for some time
rendered its press facilities inadequate
to thu demands of business, and with the
removal to its new home it has been de-
cided to give the GLOBE all the facilities
which the most improved machinery can
supply. To this end cash purchase has
been made of thirty thousand
dollar press, the manufacture Of
R. Hoe & Co., of New York, the
most celebrated printing press builders in
the world. The machine is of the most mod
ern invention, only two others,
with the same Improvements, eve r
having been built, and with the exception
of the fortunate possessorsl Of those two,
the GLOBE will have the best piece of
printing press machinery ever constructed.
None of the great New York papers have a
press equal to it, simply because more
modern inventions have been made since
they were equipped, but both the Herald
and the World land perhaps others) of the
great New York papers, are disca riding
present machinery and employing Hoe &,
Co. to build them machines similar to the
one secured by the GLOBE. The GLOBE
could to-day take several thousand
dollars advance for its bargain in
this wonderful piece of machinery,
because go great. is the demand that no
new order can be executed under six
months time.
The machine is of the Web perfecting
stereotype pattern, printing from a con-
tinuous roll of paper from stereotype
pages and has the capacity of printing
both sides Of the paper at the same time
and delivering them cut, folded and past
ed ct the rate of 5000 copies per hour.
One Of the marked Improvements of
this modern machine is tho capacity
which it affords of printing sheets of diff
ferent sizes. Instead of being obliged to
issue supplements to gain more space, the
GLoBR will be able, with its new press, to
add column to each page, printing an
eight oolumn quarto or seven column
(its present sizs) as it may elect.
This machine will be shipped from the
factory the present month and early in
January the GLOBE will be able to place il
in operation. Some idea of the extensive
character of the machine can be formed
from the fact that it will require month
of skillful labor te set it up and place it in
RAINING order after its arrival in St
Paul.
With these facilities the GLOBE will be
able to supply the mails and deliver the
paper to the most remote city subscriber
by O'Clock in the morning, feat which
with its present equipment, it is en- abso-
late mechanical impossibility to perform
If our patrons will bear with Us q few
weeks longer, we trust to be able to moro
than meet all possible demands of an APP
preoiative public.
The GLOBE has numerous other plans fol-
Improvements to be inasguratsd, to sup
plement the wonderful mechanical facili
ties it has secured, but of thess we do moi
|
to say thEt when all arrangements are psr-
footed, it will 50 far outstrip sll comPsti-
ton in this region as nc! to be men
toned in comparison with any other
shsst. 1t will be positive competitor
and rival of the great Chicago papers aud
will in fact be SO superior as to have no
competition save from Chicago and New
York journals.
} The growth and advancement of the
GLOBE is simply in keeping with the city
in which it is established, and we trust the
people of St. Paul will share with Us the
local pride which we naturally feel in
making the announcement. The GLOBE
will remain, as it always has, with undivided
affections for St. Paul, and will sndeavor
while pursuing a political course in keep
ing with the organization it represents, to
make newspaper so complete and CON-
handing as to be the pride of every resi-
dent of the city and state.
The GLOBE trusts that its efforts to keep
