The "GlObe" Keeping Pace With the Flour

Call its Home.

On a cold winter morning, January 18th,
1878, the first issue of the ST. PAUL DAILY
GLOBE was presented to the public.
Since that date, without the intermission
of single day, Sunday or holiday, the GLOBE
has made its morning round, and, from small
beginnings, has now reached metropolitan
proportions.
When the GLOBE began it had many we'll
wishers, but comparatively few had faith in
its being able to fight its way to success. The
point which it has now reached was even
beyond the real expectation of its protector,
though the secret hope was entertained that it
would some time be able to tell such story
columns.
1t is not necessary to detain the public by
recounting the early struggle and the contin-
GUS labor which has been required to bring
the GLOBE to the position which it occupies
to-day. 1t is sufficient to say that the sue
cess has been secured and the record is given
herewith
In June, 1881, the St Paul Globe Printing
company was organized with the following
officers:
Presidential. H. Sibley
Vice President-P. H. Kelly.
Treasurer-Albert Scheffer
secretary-Ansel Oppenheim.
General Manager-H P Hall
This organization remains 1vifbo,7+ obon0a
save that at the end of the first year Mr..
Hall was also made secretary of the company.
The GLOBE has among its directors
and stockholders, besides those named
above, Col. A. Allen, Commodore
N. W. Kittson, Gen. R. W.
Johnson, Col. VIM. Crooks, Col DeGraff,
Crawford Livingston, R. L. Frazee, P. H.
Rahilly, John F. Meagher and others, max
y ing an association of gentlemen which com
mand the respect and confidence of all who
know them.
The capital stock is now $15O,OOO nearly
fifty thousand of which is now being ex-
pended in inagurating the ''new era''
The invention of printing machinery has
reached such proportions that no complete
newspaper can be made without it. It was
with this view the GLOBE company
decided to purchase, at a cash outlay of
thirty thousand dollars, the magnificent press
which is depicted upon this page.
To make the institution complete it was
further resolved to obtain a site and
erect building, expressly for the
GLOBE A lot was accordingly pur-
chased on Fourth street, one hundred feet
above the corner of Fourth and Wabashaw,
and on that site a fine five or six story block
will be erected the present season Upon
tne rear OF this lot separate building has
already been erected for the magnifi-
cent press and the GLOBE was
issued upon the new machine, for the first
time upon last Sunday morning.
The press is from the celebrated establish
ment of R. Hoe & Co., of New York, the most
famous press manufacturers in the world.
With unlimited capital at their comand. this
firm has, through the invention of its
own employees, and the purchase
of improvements from other sources. secured
every advantage which is known in printing
machinery up to this date. The last patent
upon the GLOBE press was obtained in July
1888, and that invention, with all previous i'm
proyements, will be found concentrated in
he wonderful piece of mechanism which
produces this issue.
Upto this date but three machines have
been produced containing all of these mod
ern Improvements, and the GLOBE was suffi-
ciently fortunate to obtain one of the three
machines.
