OUR NEW YORK HOME.
The Deseret News Changes It's Eastern
Headquarters.
The Growth OF Its Foreign business
Makes n Removal TO Larger
Onices imperative.

Nearly three years ago, soon after
the present management assumed con-
troll, the Oeseret News opened an Of
fee In New York city, in order to be
In closer touch with eastern advertisers
and advertising agencies, and Mr.. B. f,
Cummings was placed In charge. That
gentleman had been connected with
the News stan for many years, and
had frequently traversed the eastern
advertising field in the interest Of this
paper.
Only few Of the very largest papers
west OF the Missouri river, probably
not more than half a dozen, maintain
an eastern office and advertising man.
ager of their own, either IN New York
or Chicago, which are the great CEN
tiers of the advertising business, West
ern and southern papers which are
represented at all In those cities, In
nearly all cases employ what are known
as special agents, each Of whom has
list Of papers. Only the strongest pa
rers, such az occupy commanding po-
sitions as advertising mediums and are
capable Of attracting to their columns
large amounts OF advertising at good
rates, care to incur the cost Of main
taining an exclusive eastern office and
an advertising manager
The result OF this move on the part
OF the News" have amply justified
the expense it involved. The
Increase Of business In the foreign adj
vertising department within three
Years, has been as surprising as it has
been gratifying For the current year
the revenue from this source will pro-
badly be five times what It was in 1895,
the year before the News" changed
hands. The amount Of foreign adver-
Using In the daily, Saturday and semi
weekly News now ranks with that of
the greatest western papers and is
constantly Increasing.
The New York office of the News"
has heretofore been located at 194-195
Times building, but the increase in the
business has made necessary more
commodlous quarters, and the Office has
been moved to 1927 Park Row building,
which viii hereafter be the eastern
headquarters of this paper. Friends
from the west or elsewhere are invited
to call wnen visiting in Gotham. All
the Salt Lake papers are kept on file.
About xix months ago the News"
also opened an Office in Chicago, In
the United States Express building, 81
Washington street, with Mr.. Cummings
in general charge, and with Mr, T.. y.
Edwards as his representative, an ar
rangement which stIll continues.
The Park Row building to which the
News New York office has been re-
moved, is the tallest Office or business
building in the world, Including the
basement, 1t has 30 stories, and It is
estimated to contain, during the day,
q population of about 5000 souls. Al
night it is almost wholly deserted 1t
has 10 large elevators, four Of them
being express" that is, they DO not
stop below the 18th floor. 1t is in the
heart Of the newspaper and advertising
district, and it is in accord with
the fitness Of things that the News"
New York home should be located in
the center OF such great hive Of bust
ness industry.
