THE FRANKFORT PRINTING CO.
WILL INSTALL NEW MAcHIN-
ERY IN THIRTY DAYS.
ROUNDABOUT CHANGES name

Frankfort is soon 10 nave one OF Ihe
best afternoon daily papers and one
of the best-equipped printing and
publishing houses in the State. The
Frankfort Printing Company has de-
cided to add to their original plans
and arrangements have already been
made for the installation of new ma
chinery and presses, insuring an es-
tablishment of such character as will
be a credit, not only to the Capital
City, but to the State. The new ma
chinery will be installed in less than
thirty days. and the management
hopes to be able to start its daily
paper not later than April 1.
Realizing that Frankfort is the
natural center for much. of the impor-
tant news of the State, as well as be-
ing one of the principal centers for
first-class printing and binding, the
Frankfort Printing Company, desiring
to keep abreast of the times, and feel
ing that Frankfort is entitled to a
printing and publishing concern that
will be commensurate with the dig
nifty of the Capital of one of the
greatest States in the Union, has con-
cluded to spare no pains or expense
in the consummation of its plans.
The Company, on Thursday, ordered
from the Miehle Printing Press and
Manufacturing Company, of Chicago
one of it's large presses, which is
guaranteed to run OF 1900 papers an
hour. and which can be speeded to
run off $500, if necessary. This press
will print a seven-column paper, and
this size has been definitely decided
on by the company. The paper will
give all the local and foreign news up
to the minute and every effort will be
put forth to. make 1t paper that Ken
tuckians will be proud Of. The com
pany has decided to name the paper
1.-The Frankfort News" while the
Roundabout, which will be continued
as a weekly, will be styled 1.-The
Frankfort Weekly News" In view oi
the fact that tho Roundabout has
been in existence over thirty years
and in that time has never missed an
issue, the company has decided to ado
the words "and Roundabout" to the
+A~ xuaolr1xy
since the organization of the Frank
fort Printing Company, the work II
the printing and binding departments
had increased to such an extent thai
IT became necessary to purchase two
additional 1inotypes and the Miehlt
press in order to keep up with the
work. The new press will give the
company seven presses and another
large press will be ordered shortly.
The company now employs thirty
three people, and within thirty days
the force will be increased to forty.
For the first time in many years the
citizens of Frankfort can have their
first-class printing done at home.
In this connection it might be well
to add few words about the Round
about which has visited the homes OF
a large number of people in this and
other counties in the State for so
many years.
The Roundabout was first issued in
September. 1877, by the late Mr.
Claude Buckley, as editor, shortly
thereafter associating with him Mr..
Geo. A. Lewis. The partnership last
ed only about three years.
Mr.. Buckley then retired and
from that time Mr.. Lewis continued
the publication until January 4th,
1908.
The paper, from the start, was sim
ply local and society paper, and
took no hand in the many existing
and vigorous political fights that have
shaken the city and even the whole
State.
Its policy was to treat impartially
such matters as were. necessarily,
brought to It's columns.
1t faithfully and correctly recorded
the joys and SORROWS that have come
to the people who SO kindly, so con-
