IT'S A WAY WE HAVE.
The Great Northwest Wanted a Live

the Lead.

with frontage of twenty-five feet and a
depth of $50 feet. But, with the change of
management two years ago-from which
time the history of the GLOBE really dates
the facilities for the proper transaction
| of business were sOrely taxed, and IL was
| soon evident that a move must be made
| to secure the room which was absolutely
necessary. Within the short space of one
| year the business of the GLOBE had in
creased more than it had amounted to dur
| ing all it's previous existence, and it was
plainly evident that its popularity had come
to stay and that its future was assured. 1t
was conceded to be the marvel of North
western journalism, and its staid and sleepy
| contempOrarieS-which had been accuS-
| toned to having everything their own way,
| because they had no competitiOn-Opened
! their eyes in wonder and aStOniShment. At
| first they were paralyZed with dismay, and
| at loss to know which way to turn or
| what to do to head off the audaciouS strip
| ling. All manner of schemes were resOrted
to, but still the GLOBE marched forward,
cutting into their territory right and left
| and spreading CONSERVATION in their ranks.
| Finally they fell to initiating the GLOBE,
and the introduction of new features by this
paper was quickly patterned after by the old
| timers. But it would not avail, and gradu-
ally they fell behind, conceding
the lead to the GLOBE and admit
ting their inability to keep pace
with it. And so, in the space of two years,
the GLOBE has jumped to the front rank in
| the Northwest, and on the eve of moving
| into its new and handsome quarters, is pre-
! pairing to still further strengthen the pres
| tige i t has achieved and prove itself worthy
OF the proud position which has been ac-
corded it by the general public. The new
| GLOBE building, now being erected at the
corner of Fourth and Cedar streets, will be
one of the most complete newspaper struc-
| lures in the United States. 1t will be both
| attractive and convenient, and no expense
will be spared to equip it with every neces-
sary modern appliance. The building will
| have frontage of eighty-fve feet on
| Fourth street and 100 feet on Cedar. 1t
will be ten stories IN height above the base
ment, which really makes it an eleven
story building. This is the tallest structure
| in st. Paul and one of the most imposing
in appearance 1t is built of red brick,
| with stone and marble trimmings. and is
| absolutely fire proof. There will be three
| large elevators in the building, of the latest
| approved design. The first floor will be
! occupied by the GLOBE counting room and
| business firms; the next six floors and part
of the eighth floor will be used for offices; the
balance of the eighth floor for the editorial
and local forces, and the ninth and part of
| the tenth stories for the composing, stereo-
| tipping and proof rooms. A cut of the
building. printed in this issue, will give the
reader an idea of its magnitude and archi-
tectIral beauty. 1t is an honor to the great
city in which it is located, and to the leading
newspaper of the Northwest which will be
issued from its walls. The cost of the
building will be about $3.50. 900. exclusive
of grounds. 1t Will be ready for occupancy
| early in the coming spring. 1t is the hand
soonest structure and most convenient Office
building in st. Paul. The location is also
one of the most eligible. Rooms in the
buildingare supplied with either the Ed
s0n electric light or gas. The GLOBES
first issue from the new building will be in
an entire new dress. Two new web per-
fecting presses will be put in. The GLOBE
is the leading paper of the Northwest. and
the only and representative Democratic
daily newspaper published in ST. Paul or
Minneapolis. 1t has the largest circulation
of any paper northwest of Chicago, and it
intends to have a circulation larger than
any paper printed in that city.
