INC Anderson mtelligencer, having

A. Pepper Building at the northeast
corner OF West Whitner and North
Peoples streets. is moving its news
PAPER and job printing business from
the Watson-Vandiyer building. on
North Main Street, to the new Ioca-
tion. The newspaper department of
the business was moved yesterday and
the transfer of the Job printing de-
partment VIII be completed this week.
While not originally constructed for
newspaper purposes, the Pepper
Building. perhaps more than any
other structure in the city, comes
nearer being the type of home beet
suited for such business than could
be found almost anywhere. Certain
alterations Of q minor nature have
put the building in convenient shane
Tor newspaper home, and from these
quarters 1t is hoped to issue even q
better paper than subscribers Of The
lntelligencer have enjoyed in the past,
The Pepper Building is one of the

Christian Advocate. Z
Those who have never lived through
newspaper plant moving haven't the
remotest conception Of what a task
1t is, both gigantic and tedious. The
very intricate and delicate linotype
machines present q problem In the
moving Of these alone. And with the
press, with It's hundreds Of parts,
ranging In size from the smallest
thumb screw to great bases weighing
each into the thousands of pounds, 1t
is ever a greater task But in, no in
stance has The Intelligencer had to
send out Of town for expert help to
move its plant. Brains, talent and
q willingness to buckle down for long
hours without rest and work like
beavers were responsible for the
linotype machines OF The Intelligen-
t5f omee being m1yaa ysatsEtiay Iy
the operators and their assistants.
The machines were. dismantled, J. load
ed on wagons, transported to the new
building, uhioaded, set up again and
started running in record time, It ts
believed, for a Job Of this kind. The
moving was accomplished without n
hitch i0r a tujay,aD -.
The Intelligencer's big press Is t;s be
Ing taken to pieces by Freshman Kim
ney,s who will assemble the various
parts in the, press room Of the new
location and erect the big maehiie
again. His is one Of the biggest Jobs
CT all.
Through the courtesy Of the Daily
MaiL The Intelligencer Will be print
ed on the formers press Until The
Intelligencer's press has been start
ed going again.

cordially invited to visit the papers
