NOUS monthly publication called Com
fort He had, however, what in this
business is infinitely better than capt.
| tall natural talent and adaptability.
With a genius peculiarly his own, he
cultivated a field not distinctly oc-
cupied by others, and sought to bring
to the homes of the people literature
| which heretofore had been beyond
their reach. His is a paper for the
Ill /,
| that forms the bone and sinew of the
nation. His success has been phe-
nominal, his publication having a cir
culation of one million and a quarter
copies, and reaching large proportion
of the postoffices of the country. On
account of this extensive circulation,
| the rates of advertising are very large.
The publishing house, situated on the
| east bank of the Kennebec, is a veri-
| table hive of industry, employing a
large force of skilled workmen. and
supplied with the best modern ma
chinery, among which are mammoth
color presses, wire stitching press,
and two mailing machines, which
together are capable of addressing
some one hundred thousand pa
pers every day. Every man and
woman and every machine there en-
| ployed works in perfect harmony, step
| by step Comfort is produced, and at
| last the mighty edition, weighing at
| least 125 tons per month, finds its way
to the postoffice and special mailing
| cars, and is forwarded to the ends of
the country. Mr.. Gannett's elegant
residence on Western avenue, is built
| in an elevated position near the north
ern boundary of his estate known as
"Ganeston Park" containing $50 acres
of garden, field and wood. An extern
sive, restful and inspiring view may be
had here of the city, the winding river,
and the far famed valley of the Ken
nebec. 1t is an ideal home where lux
ury contentment, happiness and re-
finement are happily intermingled.
