THE GLACIER MOVES.

THE GLACIER MOVES.
Today will be moving day for The
Glacier. The Office will be moved
bodily into the north room of the new
First National Bank building on Third
street. Every thing will be taken
along, from the editorial sanctum
where the typewriter clicks, to "the
devils punch bowl" in which the type
is washed. We are glad to be moving
into quarters which will mean more
room and more convenience. Increase
of business, both in the newspaper and
job printing departments, makes
it necessary to change and when we
are located in the new building, we
will be equipped and able to do more
and better work than ever.
The new Glacier office, which will be
the first room of the new bank build
ing to be occupied, will allow us to
have practically the whole newspaper
and printing plant on one floor and the
basement will be used for storage,
The entire front is glass, giving album
dant light, and a high ceiling allows
the light to get to the back of the
room. The location is very near the
business center of the town, which will
make it much more convenient for
the natrons of the office
At the time we will move consid-
cradle new equipment will be installed
which will make for better and faster
work. The principal addition to the
plant will be new cylinder press for
printing the newspaper and for doing
fine Job work. This one addition adds
greatly to the value of the plant and
will greatly simplify the task OF
getting out the paper. The circula-
tion of the Glacier has steadily in
creased during the past year and the
increased size of the paper has almost
doubled the work of getting it out. A
year ago the paper was only eight
pages, but increase in advertising and
the amount Of news matter handled
has made ten and twelve page editions
necessary. The new press is much
faster than the old one, and will make
it possible to get the paper off much
more quickly and eliminate the neces-
sity of printing some of the pages
several days ahead of publication day.
We also expect to be able to get much
better printing done on the new press
80 that with the new type the paper
will be cleaner and easier to read.
Not only is the new press most
valuable addition in connection with
the newspaper work, but it will enable
the job printing department to do
extra fine work on anything from
letter heads to large posters which
should be printed on cylinder press.
The new press is especially adapted
to job printing and as an illustration
of what it will enable US to do, the
apple wrappers for the Apple Growers
Union will be printed in Hood River.
This is a very large job and it is the
first time that home industry has been
able to handle the work of printing
the label of the Hood River Apple
Growers Union on the fruit wrappers.
There will be several millions of the
wrappers to be printed and one car
load of the paper to be used on the job
has been stored in the basement of
our new quarters for over week and
Just as soon as we are settled the big
job will be commenced.
The Glacier has been printing the
news of the Hood River valley for
more than q years and it will be our
endeavor, with better equipment, to
cover the local field even more
thoroughly than we have in the past.
We invite your cooperation in helping
us to publish the best newspaper in
Hood River devoted to the best in.
terests of Hood River. We will be GLAD
to receive a call from all of our friends
and will take pride in showing then
how we do "better printing" W.
heartily thank all our friends who hav,
by their patronage made our moving
and enlargement necessary and WI
will do our utmost to deserve in the
future the support which we have
been accorded heretofore.
