FOR PIONEER
Location OF Offices No. 40
and 4S N. Laurel St.
NOW MOVING
For a Litrle While the Standard
of the Paper May Not Be
Maintained.

Very shortly the Daily Pioneer will
announce that the Pioneer newspaper
printing plant and offices will be op-
Grating on the first floor of the build
ing Nos. 46 and 4S North Laurel st.
This location is just north of Church
Lane on the west side of tne street.
Announcement is now made owing
to the fact that for few days at least
the appearance OF the Pioneer, and
mayhap the standard of the paper will
indicate the change that is for the
better. Moving a printing office with
its heavy machinery and vast equip
ment is not slight task and especi-
ally when each day a daily paper is
to be issued and once a week a week.
ly edition, with the busy job plant
operating at capacity filing the many
orders that are upon the books.
The Pioneer has taken long lease
upon the property Nos. As and As N
Laurel Street, and is building there
an entirely new and model plant for
the Pioneer business. With a glass
frontage of 40 feet and depth of
nearly 100 feet the offices will have an
immense floor space upon the street
level. There is concrete basement
under all this great floor space, which
is also available for the use of the
plant, which adds tremendously to
the capacity of the place.
In taking possession of this prop
erty, the large rooms are being re-
modelled to make the most modern
and complete printing plant in South
Jersey. The big power presses upon
which the newspapers and large book
forms are printed, will be in the base
ment of the print shop No. 4S North
Laurel Street. This makes an abso-
lutely substantial foundation, and the
big presses can whirl away with
scarce a sound escaping and nothing
akin to vibration. The three job
presses will be upon the first floor in
the job department, and the linotype
machines and other machinery will
all be in the north room of the build
ing.
The business offices and editor al
rooms will be in the street front of
No. 46. the south room, of the build
ing, with the composing room and ad.
setting department for the newspa-
Ipers in the rear.
There will be no partitions or pri-
vate offices maintained, the entire
floor being in the open and nothing to
catch Or hold dirt or to accumulate
rubbish. The new Offices with the
broad glass front exposed to the east
will give excellent natural light.
There will be no steam power, over
head shaftings, betting, etc. All of
the machinery will be driven with in

will be vast improvement over pres
ent conditions. The plant will be en-
tirely operated by electricity and the
artificial lighting will be by both cleo
tricity and gas.
The new location and the modern
plant will give the Pioneer opportun-
lty to be greatly improved, and the
printing business will be augmented
by new equipment and new styles and
methods.
Just how long it will pe before the
final announcement is made of the
change of location cannot be definite
ly liked. 1t takes time and must be
done between busy business rush and
at night times. 1t is during the NOV
ing time that the Pioneer finds it ne
cessary to ask the public to excuse
irregular hours of publication and
sometimes appearances. This is done
with the promise that the improve
ments to follow the moving of the es-
tablishment will justify the effort and
fully compensate the patrons of the
office for any temporary inconveni-
'ences now endured.
