The Greenville times. [volume] (Greenville, Miss.) 1868-1917, 1906-08-04

w 18th TINS issue l. ne INES enters
upon its thirty-ninth year, and has
been under the present management
for the past six years. A great many
changes have taken place during
these last six years, and, We are glad
to say, The Times plant IS now an
up to date newspaper otflce.
Without throwing any boquets At
ourselves, and we believe that those
who have watched the growth of the
Times in all of its departments will
bear with us, we have branched out
from struggling Prouty printed
weekly in a rented hole of a shop,
into a newsy paper printed in mod
ern two-story brick building OF It's
own Old type and old machinery
has been cast aside for new job faces
and up to now machinery to meet the
demands of a growing and thriving
little city
We have tried TO keep abreast OF
the times, and while it has taken no
Ettle Individual effort and a large
amount of hustling on our part, we
are indebted in a large measure to
our patrons for the progress we have
made. And for all this we are duly
grateful and appreciate beyond ex-
preston the liberal patronage ex-
tended us.
But we will not stop at this. The
city of Greenville is rapidly assuming
cosmopolitan airs, and as the city
grows The Times will endeavor to
reflect tire progress IN all the depart
mcnts of the office. In the near tu-
ture it is our intention to start daily
newspaper, and for this a press that
will print 10000 copies an hour has
been III our building for the past sew
eral months waiting the opportune
moment when its wheels will be SET
| in motion, and then Greenv1lle will
have a newspaper published daily on
the same plan and by the same me-
chanism as are the daily papers or
large cities, though on a smaller
| scale, 1t will be some years before
the entire capacity of this press will
| be needed, but we believe in the fu-
ture and purchased this news press
| looking years ahead when The Times
daily subscribers will run up in the
tens of thousands. In all other de-
partments of the paper the march OF
progress will be noted with pleasure
| to our many readers and qualification
| to ourselves.
| In oar Job Department we will
make the greatest advancement pos
sible During the past few months
| the standard of the work Turned out
| has risen several degrees. This is
because Greenville merchants are
quitting the practice of sending away
| for a large share of their stationery
supplies, and because we have made
| a hard effort to keep the home work
here. We have employed the most
expert help, and are continually re-
ceiving shipments of the newest and
latest job type faces, and are every
day buying better quality of paper
stock-and prices remain the same.
We predict great many changes
for the betterment of Greenv1lle IN
the next few years, and we promise
that changes will be made from time
to time in all departments of The
Times to keep abreast with the pro-
gress of the city The Times Is
first and last for Greater Greenville,
and all our efforts will go to building
up the city i'll SO far as our humble
efforts can help, and we sincerely
trust that our work will meet the
appreciation of the public generally
We heartily thank the people for
the help support and patronage they
have given us IN the past, and hope
the field of our usefulness will expand
each and every year.
