Workings Of a Press
Clipping Bureau.

1t has come to be a necessity that
any one whose name ever appears IN
a newspaper must be subscriber to
press clippings, still there are few who
understand anything about the work
ings OF such a bureau. People take
press clippings because in no other way
can they learn how many papers
throughout the country print stories
concerning them They must have
bureau to read every paper published.
Then every line concerning them
reaches their hands.
There are some forty press clipping
bureaus In the United States, but be-
fore becoming subscriber one should
understand Just what bureau to deal
with. This is necessary, because in or
der. TO read 5000 different publications
a bureau must have a large area Of
working space and employ many peo-
Pile. Some bureaus work in one room
with three and four workers. The
largest bureau In the world. that is the
Burrelle Press Clipping Bureau in New
York, reads every publication issued,
has 1000 square feet OF space. and has
100 workers.
There are dozens of departments in
the Burrelle Bureau, but the one spec
tacular feature is the work OF those
who actually read the papers. These
readers sit before an inclined desk on
which the paper rests. The reader
scans the column, her pencil following
the lines with lightning rapidity.
The moment she sees the name Of a
client, down goes the pencil and a
mark is put under the name. The mar
Vicious part Is, that The reader must
bear in mind something like 10000
names. 1t Is feat OF memory that al
most passes human understanding, and
V is done day in and day out, The
readers mind Is kept active on these
subjects in n daily school of instruc-
ton. For an hour each day the read
ers sit silently before their desks while
a forewoman takes up list of GUS
toners, and one by one calls off the
names and explains their wants. 1t
takes ten days an hour each day, to
complete the list on the eleventh day
