II REPUBLICAN.

ings of busy life, sometimes the things
right within itself, and which are of
vital interest to the public. are over
looked. 1t has beer so with The Re
publican. From time to time it has in
stalled new and extensive improve
ments almost without the knowledge
of the editorial department
Sixteen years ago The Republican
vas established, with an equipment
then right up to date. Five years later
a linotype machine became a necessity.
A new press, many pieces of labor
saving machinery and almost innumer-
able faces of modern job type were
added from time TO time. Then came
another linotype, suitable for book and
job printing, closely followed by a
Meihle book press-the finest made.
A bindery became necessary, in order
that a large lot of work of this class
might be performed in this city in
stead of being sent TO Cheyenne, Den
yer n the east. To accommodate the
bindery a new building was required,
making a total expense in this depart

Merchants and bankers who desire
first class ledgers, journals or other
books made to order now come to The
Republican where they not only receive
full satisfaction but spend their money
in their own town with people who re-
turn it to them again. Reciprocity
and mutual aid are the policies hat
make thriving cities.
But this was not all. From time to
time changes in power. have been in
troduced. At first a steam engine car
ried the load. 1t was found in CON
slant need of attention and steam gave
way TO gasoline. The Republican has
owned a number of gasoline engines,
but has longed for the time to come
when the gentlemen of the Laramie
light works could see their way clear
to furnish a day current. 1t has arriv-
ed and The Republican is the first Lar
annie business house to give substan-
tial encouragement to the enterprise
of the company, Four motors are now
installed n doing business and two
Others are on the way. 1t is the best,
most convenient and ~cleanest power
known. Every industry and business
house in the city that uses power
should change to electricity and thus
not only benefit themselves but encour-
age the light company in its stroke OF
enterprise. The power is econimical
and is made at home out of Wyoming
fuel and Wyoming labor. The splendid
in which The Republican mo
tors are now operating are a good ad.
yertisement for the company. Those
interested are invited to call and see
them.
The evolution of tins paper has not
been without pleasures n disappoint
ments, but the former predominated
1t has been hard work to build up to
the present high standard, but the eff
fort has been fully appreciated. The
greatest happiness in this life comes
through well-directed effort. Patron
g has come to the office beyond the
fondest dreams of the management and
1t has been a source of satisfaction to
note that customers do rot turn way
dissatisfied, but come again and again.
Each succeeding year has brought
The Republican to a higher plane of use,
fulness, alike to the community, the
reader and the advertiser. Since the
beginning OF the first Mckinley admin
istration its daily circulation in this
city has considerably more thar dou-
bled, and The Weekly Republican goes
into almost every ranch home in the
county. Both circulate to a large ex-
tent in the broader field of state m
nation, and The Republican is quoted
constantly throughout the west. 1t ap-
preciates TO the fullest extent the gen
erous patronage accorded it during the
sixteen years of its existence-practi-
cally under the same management
and expects to continue to grow and
improve as the years roll on.
New methods and new inventions
will find a home in The Republican of
Williams.
