For sometime past The Evening
World has felt that the location of
the office and plant has been a draw
back 70 its further PROGRESS and de-
veiopment. Not only was the loca-
tion undesirable but the present mar
tiers were found entirely too small for
the increasing business of the paper
With theseconditlons in mind, The
nageme has been seeking a more
centrally located place where the
Evening Wo-li could have a eommo-
dious and conveniently located bust
n ess Office. The only place for a
newspaper office is on the prlncipa!
business street of the city. Such a
location, as the people Of this city well
know, was hard TO tind, n it was a
long time before the opportunity of
securing such a location presented it.
self.
A new home for The Evening
World and The Martlnsburg Herald
II has Der n secured. The property has
h cen secured and a building in which
the mechanical department of tbs pa
pers will be located is now in curse
Of erection.
The property. until recently occu-
pled by Mr.. p Il. Deatrick, as a resi-
dsnce has been leased bv The Evening
World an6 the entire front of the
building. including that now occnnied
by 2. II. Deatrlck & Go. as a store
room will be changed and. improved
A large glass front will be placed
in the residence portion of the build
ing and handsome offices arranged for
the use of The Evening World and
The Herald. In the rear of the spres-
emit building is being erected a large
building which will be used exclu
sivelv by the mechanical department
of the papers.
This Will give the Evening World
the finest offices and best equipped
newspaper plant In this section of the
country. There is nothing i'll the
way of a location that can surpass it
and the arrangement of the offices
will be such that they will give the
greatest possible facility for the
prompt handling of the business Of
the two papers.
In addition TO the improvements
stated above The Evening World will
install in it's mechanical department
a fine new press, the equal OF which
Toes moi exist in this valley. A Bah
cock .'On.imus'' is conceded by all
to be one of the finest presses built.
1t was desired that the removal
should take place about july /. From
present indications however he new
building will not be completed by
that date but in a few DAYS after that
time it is expected that the newsna-
per plant will be in operation in its
new quarters. The arrangement of the
front and the completion of the bust
ness office will not be undertaken I'M
TIL the building In the rear is com
pleted.
When The Evening World is thor
cighly established in its new quar-
tbrs 1T will be equipped to do all
kinds of printing. Not only will the
paper itself be greatly improved by
the new machinery and material
which it is proposed to install, but
the job department as well, VIII be
fully equipped to handle all kinds of
work on the shortest notice.
In making this mov= the manage-
ment feels that the public and ma
irons of the two PAPERS will apprecl-
ate the effort TO put them in closer
touch with the paper which has be-
come an almost INDISPENSABLE part of
their every dav life The @ office
friends from all parts of the city can
reach it without having TO go out of
their way. A present those who have
business with either paper, have to
make a sneciaI trim to the office, in
the new location every person almost,
who has business up town will pass
the office of The Evening World.
