The significance OF the above is of much
greater importance to the newspaper man
,hAn il i u the general public, and in these
days of boiler plates and fast freight tel
egraph" news IL seems good 10 see il hang
lng ia the Office Of newspaper located IN
city which has erstwhile been the verta-
ole home aud harvest field of the stereotype
plate makers. That is why il hangs in the
sunuiest spot upon our walls, that is why
We read il over and over.
In all the world there are just two great
news gathering agencies-the Associated
Press and the United Press. For many
years the former held monopoly, and il

il steadily grew in excellence, until some
two Years ago the latter was uni
versally acknowledged To be the
peer, and in brightness and
promptness the superior of tbe Did associa-
| ton. Then II was that many leading papers
| forsOOk the aged institution whose reports,
always verbose and arbitrary, had become
/ dull an0 targid and turned TO the brilliant
/ dispatches complied aud edited by the active
representatives of the United Press. The
| latter association having perfected It's cables
and become absolutely perfect in its service
the night was over and the United and
| Associated Press quarrel no more.

HERALB Is the only United Press paper in
Michigan, with the exception of the Detroit

the fall aight dispatches of the I nited Press.

! rupled service of telegraph wire and the
