New Addition Now In Use AL
most Doubles The Floor Space
OF Plant.

The new business, editorial and
news offices of the Milford Chronicle
were occupied on Monday morning
of this week, and during almost all
of the week workmen have been
busy adding to the equipment of the
offices which will greatly add to the
convenience of the public and add
efficiency to the Office force. A large
general Office equipped with the lat
est office appliances for newspaper
work will greatly quicken service to
our patrons. Private offices for the
officials and editors are to be found
adjoining the main Office. All are
well lighted and furnished in keep
ing with the general scheme laid
down for the complete plant. A
feature added in the new offices is a
room and desk wherein persons de-
string to write copy for their ad-
veTtising may find convenient at
hand cabinets containing illustra-
tions for almost any line of business.
The customer may take his time and
look through the thousands of illus
tratiOns on file to find just what he
needs. While the Chronicle for sew
eral years had supplied all advertis-
ing mats required by the advertiser,
lack of floor space made it some
what incOnvenient for the customer
to look through the proof sheets.
This has been eliminated under the
new plan. Some of the furniture for
the offices has not arrived as yet
but until it is in place the Office
force is putting up with the incon-
venience.-
While the Chronicle has had a pri-
Vate telephone switchboard for a
long time, the publishers have added
several phones to the board for use
in interdepartmental work. Another
trunk line running to the outside
has been added so that the public
should have no trouble in reaching
the Office during business hours. The
old phone number was Milford 10.
The Chronicle may be reached now
by calling either 19 or 20, and ask
ing for the person or department de-
sired when the connection is made.
The old business offices have been
thrown into the large press room
and the bindery moved into the sec
ton formerly occupied by the Offices.
The foreman's office is on the first
floor of the building in a portion Of
the old section formerly used for
the business Offices. The second
floor of the new addition is now in
use as a composing room for the
job and newspaper departments. The
second floor of the old building is
used exclusively for the newspaper
department and the job press de-
partment.
In the bindery several new steel
bindery tables have been installed
and throughout the plant needed
equipment has been added. The
Chronicle plant, for years the larg-
est and best equipped printing es-
tablishment on the peninsula, now
far outstrips any of it's competitors
in the matter Of equipment and
buildings. 1t ranks with the largest
in Wilmington and handles much
work that cannot be done by many
of the printers in that city. Work Of
shifting machinery and remodeling
the old section of the plant is not
complete, but we invite any persons
who desire to inspect the plant to
visit us at any time. They will be
gladly shown through this modern
printing establishment.
