The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-06-18

Stepping into the Union block at the
corner of Fourth and Cedar streets, it be-
comes apparent to the visitor at once
that here are to be found offices which
are among the largest, best lighted and
best ventilated in the city CT st. Paul.
The building is most advantageously To-
Gated for all classes of business, being
adjacent to two street railway lines and
within hailing distance of all the princi
pal points in the business district Cne
thing that impreSses the visitor is the
abundance of light. The construction OF
the building Is such as to admit all the
light possible to get into large S:ruc-
ture, and there are no tall buildings sur
rounding it to cut off or even share in
the light. The court house and city hall
are just across the street, which increases
the desirability of the location many
times.
The Union block, which is numbered
A-51 Fourth street. is six stories high
and is divided by a fire wall into two
parts, the east half and the west half.
The west half is filed with offices and
the east half is given up almost exclu-
sively to light manufa curing concerns
and from the presence of a number of
printing establishments it has come to
be known as Printers block One no.
ticeab4e fact about the offices is that
they. all face the street, and this accoun.
in large manner for the abundance Of
light. The offices are fitted up in modern
style with 81! conveniences and essentials
and there is tirSt-clasS elevator and jan
itor service. One of the decided advan-
tages of the building is its supply of pure,
artesian we'll water. which comes bub-.

The Webb Publishing Comnanx.

The Webb Publishing company, of
which Mr.. E. A. Webb is the founder and
guiding spirit, occupies large part of
the east half of the Union block, with
one of the finest plants for the production
of agricultural papers and general agri-
cultural literature that is to be found in
the country, occupying two floors and
equipped with the best modern printing
machinery, valued at about $4,000 The
office is at No. AZ East Fourth street The
Webb companys principal publication Is

III the state, and which has the largest
circulation and the best class of readers

and eight years later it was moved to
st. Paul, on account of it's rapidly increa

facilities Since coming to this CITY its
growth has been remarkable, notably so

time Its circulation has gone up from

the circulation of the paper may be OH

The Webb company also publishes the
Poultry Herald, with a circulation of
$780, the most extensive circulation of
any paper of its class in the West. and
the Weekly Dairy Reporter, with a circn-
lation of 800.
The Webb Publishing companv nub-
fishes agricultural books generally. and
issues from its press Prof Shaw's books
on breeding, and is about to issue a re-
Vised edition of Prof. Green's book on

rect to every Office in the building. The
water Is largely impregnated with min
eral, which makes it delicious and health
full for drinking. In fact, it is just about
such water as many persons travel hun
dreds of miles to get from the springs
The east half of the building is $50 feet
deep and the west half 112 feet deep. The
building has an entrance on Cedar street
as well as on Fourth street, with elevat-
ors at both entrances. Besides the store
rooms on Fourth street there are two
Cargo ones on Cedar street. There are
vaults on every floor for the use of the
tenants
Within the last eighteen months ex-
tensive repairs have been made to the
building, which have brought it up to
the front rank of the popular sky scrap
ers. These improvements include new
roof, hardwood flooring, papering, plumb
Ing, and altogether the interior is en-
tirely new. Among these improvements
was the making of the Cedar street en-
trance. 1t IS a noteworthy fact that there
is never any fire in the building and con-
sequenty IT is free from the annoyances
of SCOT and smoke. The building is heat
ed by steam which is carried into it from
the Court block by means of an under
ground tunnel 1t is always warm when
heat is needed, but there Is never any
danger of fire.
