A BUSINESS TALK.
We deem this a fitting time to say a
few words concerning the institution
kno wn as The Mitchell Printing
Company, publishing the DAILY RE
PUBLICAN and the WEEKLY CAPITAL,
and carrying on general book and job
printing business. This concern has
taken its place as one of the permanent
enterprises of Mitchell, and as such
will devote its every energy to further
ing the interests of this city and its
tributary country, as well as to build
ing up paying, investment to the
men who are putting in their money
and labor, AT present there are fifteen
men employed in the various depart
1pents of the business, each one of
whom is consumer, doing his share to
promote the general business prosper
ity of Mitchell.
The Daily Republican.
The first six weeks in the experiment
of printing a seven column folio,
morning daily, with associated press
dispatches, in town the size of
Mitchell, with even its wide extent of
tributary country, indicates that it is
to be large undertaking, and one
that can only succeed with the liberal
patronage, be it individually more or
less, of the entire community. This
paper to-day goes into every town in
this section from Chamberlain to
Canton, from Fort Randall and Grand
View to Aberdeen, and from Wessing-
ton Springs to Egan, and one member
of the firm devotes his entire time to
extending its circulation in each Of
these several towns. The advantage
to advertisers becomes apparent at a
glance, while the indirect benefit OF an
enterprise of this sort to town ought
to impress itself on those who can see
on direct return to themselves from
newspaper advertising. The town of
Mitchell is the thrifty place it is to-day,
not alone because of its location and
the enterprise of it citizens, but
because its newspapers have always
generously done their part to extend
its reputation in every direction.
While the REPUBLICAN, aims to make
for itself more than local reputation
and standing, it primarily a Mitchell
institution, and realizes that it must
stand or fall by the measure of support
and endorsement it receives at home.
1t will be just as good paper as its
support warrants, and will be improved
by the same sign.
The Weekly Capital.
1t is the intention to keep the WEEK
LY CAPIrAL,up to the standard which
it has attained as the first and Oldest
paper in Dawson county, and especial
efforts will be made to increase it's In
terest and value to its readers. 1t fur
nishes to-day lifty-six columns of we'll
selected reading matter, the quality of
which will be improved to keep up
with the times. 1t will not become a
dumping ground for stale news from
the daily issues, but its contents will be
carefully selected with a view to the
tastes and interest of those to whom
the daily is not accessible.
The CAPITAL offers to advertisers a
distinct field from that covered by the
daily, going as it does into over 1900
homes that can be reached in no other
way so effectively, and no effort will be
spared to increase its constituency as a
first-class family newspaper.
The Mechanical Department.
The recent addition of new type and
presses makes the mechanical depart
ment one of the most complete in the
west. The motive power for the large
cylinder press and two job presses is
furnished by a four-horse engine, while
two foot presses are devoted to the
lighter grades of work. The office is
now prepared to print anything that
can possibly be needed, and not a dol
lars worth Of work should be sent out
of the city. There is no reason why
money that belongs at home should be
sent to Sioux City, st. Paul, DesMoines
or Omaha, for no better quality of
printing than can be done here; though
to Mitchell's credit be it said this de-
structive policy is not followed by her
business men to any large extent.
In addition to being prepared to do
every variety of printing this concern
carries full line Of stock to supply the
jobbing trade, and will fill orders from
the other towns in this vicinity prompt
ly and at reasonable figures. 1t is not
the intention to encroach on the local
field of our neighbors, but to cooperate
with them to mutual advantage.
In General.
The year 1886 promises to be an
eventful and prosperous one to Dako.
