Book and Job Printing Press,
wishes TO announce that the
work of consolidation has been
practically completed and that
all three enterprises are now To-
Gated in the same building on the
corner OF Northwest street and
Church Circle.
Greater Facilities Afforded
For the past several weeks tho
work of reconstructing the Gazette
Building has been in progress, and
with the completion OF this work and
the removal of the Evening Capital
equipment from the former location
on West street. the present quar-
ters of the triple enterprise are
found to afford even greater facilities
for the publication of the two news
papers and the handling OF the job
printing business than heretofore.
Business Offices On Main Floor
The main floor of the building has
, been entirely reconstructed and 1t is
here that the business offices OF The
Gazette. The Capital and The Capital
Gazette Press are located. On the
| South side OF the floor is conducted
the business and news end OF The
Capital and the Gazette while on the
opposite side is to be found the busi-
ness Office of the job printing plant.
The enlarged space provides plenty
of room for the Office forces of each
of the businesses and for the news
and editorial departments and all this
work is, as previously, transacted In
separate departments.
With the installation OF metal
ceiling, attractive electric fixtures,
| fine new floor and other innova-
tions the general appearance of the
whole Office section is one entirely
pleasing to the eye and in thorough
keeping with the most modern OF
Offices.
Newspaper Plant In Basement

issues of both The Capital and The
Gazette. and which has a capacity

This press, which Is well suited to
the requirements OF both daily and

cept on unusually dark days or dur
ing night work. The linotypes and
all the other facilities used in the
production OF the newspapers are
set up in the basement-this branch
of the work being kept entirely sep
arate and distinct from the job print
ing department.

torial Department, the Circulation
