readers.
| Always Ready.
Throughout the long period of time
| in which il has been in operation, il
has been the instrumentality in laying
before Argus readers wondrous story
of local history and the affairs of the
universe day by day, with all the lights
and shadows that mark the flight of
time and the ups and downs of men
and institutions. During the Spanish
American clash it was perhaps put to
! its best test In the turning out of two
or three or more editions a day for
| weeks and months as events in the
the war drama developed, it did not slip
cog. Through its efficiency and reli-
| ability The Argus was enabled to lead
the three city field in all those stirring
events, as it subsequently did when
the dreadful tragedy of the murder of
President Mckinley stunned the ma
ton More recently in the instance of
the San Francisco disaster, The Argus
again. through the advantage its
press offers in its condition of prepar-
edness for emergency, brought forth
the first news of any paper in the three
cities of the appalling calamity that
startled the universe. Innumerable
instances of this nature with which
the public is familiar might be recalled

Growth With the Community.
So that the "old boss" is not being
retired because it has proven unfaith-
full or has passed the day of its useful
ness. In the march of time, and in tie
progress and growth of the field The
Argus scrves-and the progress and
growth of the field has marked the pro
gress and growth of The Argus-the
demand has simply exceeded the capa-
city to fulfill. More pages and better
facilities for the assembling of the
same in book form, and more speed as
provided through modern invention,
have made the change essential.
Confronted by these conditions, The
Argus has for months had under con-
sideratiOn' propositions and proposals
from the various printing press manu-
facturers of the country. 1t has finally
let the contract to the Duplex Printing
Press company of Battle Creek, Mich,
for the construction for its special use
and purposes of the latest model and
most completely equipped press built
by that company. The press will cost
S10,000-and the transaction is a
strictly cash one. The press is to be
built on rush order, the manufactur
