New Newspaper Building.

In June a contract was made for
a building to be erected for the
exclusive use of the Ardmoreite
Publishing Company at the corner
of East Broadway and North Mill
streets, just one block from the
old location. This point was ideal
as it was but one block from the
postofhce, two blocks from the
Santa Fc and Rock Island depot
and a similar distance from the
Frisco and Ringing railroads, a
matter OF prime importance, as all
mail and newspaper bundles for
outside towns is taken directly to
the trains.
Because OF war necessities and
the consequent impossibility to Sc
cure large timbers for construc-
tion as we'll as gravel for concrete
work, the building was not COM
pleted until the first of the present
year, although it was occupied
through the month of December
and there still remains some work
to be done. This building has d
frontage of 50 feet on Broadway
and l20 feet on North Mill street
with entrances to each department
on the ground floor directly iron
the street.
The business office, the equip.
ment for which has not yet arrived
is at the left of the Broadway en-.
trance at the front, the stairway tC

on the second floor ascending iron
the front entrance. The right
hand corner OF the front with plate
glass windows at the front and of
the entrance to the building is oc
cupied by the big 24-page ncwspa
per press. In the center Of th,
ground floor is the stercotypin,
room, where the plates are mad,

pers must come south on the noon
train out Of Oklahoma City, That
means that a dcadlinc OF 1890 a.
m. must shut off wire news. The
train from the south at night
reaches Ardmore a little after mid
night. That means that the Fort
Worth morning paper coming
on that train is printed at o o'clock
the night before, while the lcgiti-
mate issue of The Dallas News
arrives in Ardmore at noon OF the
day OF publication, only a short
time before The Ardmoreite is
available with the days ncws-not
the news Of the day before.
Herein is summed up "the why
of the first news of Importance be-
ing available to the public through
The Ardmorcite six afternoons and
Sunday morning. The strategic To-
cation of Ardmorc 100 miles from
any city Of consequence and the
favorable train service makes ii
possible to serve the public with
| the Associated Press news - the
standard news service of this coun-
| try-far in advance OF any other
daily eWspaper.

Modern Equipment.

The equipment Of The ArdmOre-
ite plant is modern and complete,
embracing as it does all the requi-
sites of the present-day newspaper.
The Daily, Sunday and Weekly
Ardmoreite are printed on "a
page Hoe supplement press from
stereotype plates and with color
equipment to use in featuring news
Of extreme importance or in print
ing colored supplement, should
such be added at any time. The
stereotype equipment is complete
and each machine is operated by
an individual motor. Natural gas
is used under the furnace used in
melting the metal for stereotyping
and under the steam tables, The
page forms are sent to the stereo-
typing room from the second floor
on trucks by the connecting ele-
vator.
The composing room is equipped
with a full battery Of linotype ma
chimes for setting the straight
matter on the newspaper, while a
typecaster-known as the Mono
type-casts all the heading type,
much OF the type used in advertis-
ing matter, the leads, slugs, col
umn rules and borders, this all
being melted up each day and be-
ing cast over for each days use.
| This is what is known as the mon
| distribution" system, and not only
keeps the pages of the paper look
ing fresh and clean every day but
also saves the expense OF at least
one man in this department. The
type cases and cabinets are of steel,
electrically lighted, arranged both
with a view to saving time and
space. A saw trimmer and small
stereotype casting box for small
cuts completes the equipment OF
| this department.

for the newspaper pages. The city
circulator, who looks after the
thirty-odd carrier boys and the
street sales, has a separate room
with an entrance from North Mill
street. The job printing depart
ment has a well arranged space in
the rear, with outside entrance
also.
The second floor contains the
editorial rooms fronting on Broad
way, the publishers offices, the AS
Sociatcd Press room and telegraph
and proofroom, with "morgue and
file rooms. The rear half, with
fine light on all sides, is occupied
by the newspaper composing room
which is connected with the press
and stereotyping room with an ele-
vator. 1t is not likely that a bet
ter lighted or more convenient
composing room is to be found
anywhere in Oklahoma or Texas,
in fact it has few equals in the
country.

Neighboring Counties.

With the Improvement in facili-
ties the aim OF the management
has been to steadily reach out into
the adjoining counties and give
each one of the towns the advan-
tagc OF a local daily newspaper
This has been accomplished by en-
ploying a person in each OF the
principal towns to devote his
whole time and attention to The
Ardmoreite, sending in the news
every day, attending to the dcIiy-
cry Of the papers and maintaining
local office for the transaction
of business with Ardmoreite pat
ronS.
The result has been that where
dozens OF papers were previously
sent by mail to subscribers, hun
dreds are now being served by car
