LATEST MODEL JOB PRESS NOW ROLLING
 ON EMPIRE PRINTING

To all sidewalk supervisors who held their breath while the four-ton press was lifted high and eased through the window:
 The big fellow is solidly set in The Empire shop, and hard at work.
 Already it has lived up to extrava- gant advance claims. It is C-Kelly automatic job press manufactured by American Type Founders.
 The new model replaces an old Kelly Al jobber which, as the work horse of The Empire Printing Com pany, has carried the load for about a quarter of a century. There's plenty of life in the old one yet, but the load has been shifted.
 High-Speed Machinery
 The high-speed C-Kelly press brings the total in The Empire to five job presses, including three automatic ones. With its pace of 4,200 an hour, the new press doubles any previous speed in the shop. Addition of this press further substantiates the claim of The Elm pire as having the largest and most completely automatic equipped plant in Alaska.
 The fast fellow is the largest automatic job press in Juneau. It now enables The Empire to give a higher type of work than ever be- fore available here AS always, The Empire leads the way.
 Capable of taking IT, by 22-inch sheets of every weight paper from onionskin to six-ply stock, the C-K prints in colors. as well as in black and white. Now, The Empire can do much of the specialized printing that previously had to be sent out side.
 High Grade Work
 This press is particularly suited for printing high-grade booklets. tourist folders. programs and sim liar material.
 Although the press is not brand, shiney new, Job Shop Foreman Ken Waller is as pleased as though it were-perhaps more so. He says he knows it was eased in, not broken in, and it was used less than year.
 The C-Kelly was purchased from the Deers Press in Seattle, through Harry Strang, one of the owners. It was made available only because of lack of room when Strang stand ardized his shop with presses of another make.
 The tricky job of getting the over weight crate into The Empire shop began long before it's arrival on the Flemish Knot-it began when Jim Orme and Don Abel got to- gether to figure every stress and strain.
 Came Saturday afternoon, May 6, and plans were put into action. At the Alaska Steamship Company dock, the four-ton package had been hoisted onto Orme's truck by two lift jitneys. (Actual weight was 7,800 pounds, but that was close enough to four tons for the side wa1k s,IperyiSorS
 Through Double Window
 Orme and his men Severin Swanson, Jr., and Chester Zenger worked at getting it through the big double window high above the street after it had been lifted by a Hayes and Whiteley crane. While steel floats held the equipment on the hill, Gordon Mcdonald operated the 2O-ton Lorain motor crane, which has an 8-ton lifting capacity.

Building Provides
10 Floors of Offices;
Cor Storage in Core
By Robert J. Lewis
Reol Estate Editor of The Stor

The other day, we were on a
bus and overheard two passengers
talking about the Cafritz Park at
Your Desk" building now under
construction in Washington.
One said:
There's a highway running
right up through the center of the
building. You drive your car up
to your floor, park it, and walk
right into your office"
Yeah, that's what I've heard, ="
said the other passenger. But
they can't tell me that. I hear
they'll use elevators to take the
cars up"
Driven to Top.
So we decided to look over the
Job and find out exactly how the
building would operate.
When we arrived at 1925 street
NV. with Photographer John Ho-
ran, we found Morris Cafritz, the
owner, keeping in touch with the
progress of construction. He was
wearing a natty blue suit and a
pair Of black and white shoes.
We introduced ourselves and
told him we thought we'd do a
story on the building.
Can you drive car to the top
OF this building?" we asked him.
I'll drive you up" he said
promptly.
A minute later we were circling
up a ramp in the center Of the
building at what seemed to be
breakneck speed. AS we took the
curves, we began to wonder
whether Mr.. Cafritz ever had been
q daredevil driver at county fair.
Used to This
Apparently sensing that we were
hanging onto the sides of the car
to avoid being thrown out the
window, Mr.. Cafritz slowed down
to what seemed to be about 80
miles an hour and said:
I'm used to this, go up and
down the ramp a couple of times
a day."
Somewhat limp on reaching the
top, we nevertheless began to fire
questions at Mr.. Cafritz while Mr..
Koran took pictures.
