A Giant Companion Installed.
One giant quadruple press was not
sufficient for the needs Of The Washing
ton Herald. The necessity Of another one
became apparent before the paper was
a week old. The first press was turning
on not less than 1900 copies daily. and
the paper was growing. It had started
much more fully grown than was expected.
One press, II everything went we'll night
after night, might handle the edition If
operated 10 its limit, but the double
issue on Sunday would find press facilities
inadequate, and so a rush order was given
for another quadruple press. This addi-
ton 10 the original press equipment came
from the Goss Printing Press Company.
Of Chicago, which, fortunately, was able
TO ship and install such a press as was
needed within the required time. Al
though OF similar general capacity. this
