REPUBLICAN IMPROVEMENTS.

The improvements being made by
The Republican company mean more
thai prosperity. They mean that the
stockholders have entire confidence in
the future of the city and the develop
ment of the Laramie plains and that
they are willing to stake their money
on it.
During the past five or six years
those who have been at all cognizant
of the volume of business being per,
formed by The Republicans news and
job offices have appreciated the fact
that more roo was needed and that
a good book bindery must be added to
the equipment. For the bindery, which
will be up to date in every respect, we
have planned a building 22x3S, two
floors, just to the north of the present
office. 1t is our purpose to build a high
basement, for the bindery, similar to
the one nov used by the job depart
ment, and one story above. This up
per floor will have a nice glass front
on Third street and will be used by
the book mt job office and the news
department.
For doing first-class book and job
printing the fame of The Republican
has extended throughout the state and
at the present time fully 5 per cent
Of our business comes from beyond
the limits of Laramie. For the pur-
pose of successfully handling this
volume of business from outside, the
bindery will be a valuable aid. 1t will
employ some people and will therefore
be a benefit to the town in this respect.
The Republican has grown famous for
employing men with families-men
who have established themselves here
and who have provided themselves
with homes. In the bindery it will try
to do the same thing. 1t has no pre-
judice against single men but believes
that God did not intend that man
should live alone. 1t here and now ex-
tends to the beautiful young ladies of
the Gem City a cordial invitation to
lead any single man found around this
establishment to the altar at the first
opportunity.

Is the best medium through which ad-

During the past three years, The Re-
p~ublican's circulation has been going
upward by leaps and bounds and 1t de-
sires to return to its subscribers and
to the merchants and other advertis-
ers of Laramie its sincere thanks for
tho very liberal patronage they have
been pleased to accord it. The money
We have received has all been spent
in Laramie-in the building of homes
and in the improvement of The Repub-
lican's place of business. This policy
will be continued for several years to
come, as the homes are not entirely
free from debt and the place of bust
ness is not clear up to our ideal of what
1t should be.
Meanwhile we will not be stingy or
parsimonious. The very best paper the
town can afford will be given to our
readers-telegraph service right up to
4 o'clock every afternoon and all the
local news when it is fresh.
