Year: 1863

We iind II absolutely necessary TO make very
extensive alterations and enlargemcnts ia the
establishment Of the HERALD. Our business
has wonderfully increased and is rapidly aug
menting. Our facilities must be enlarged IN
order to meet these renewed and urgent de
mands. II no other way can we at all satisfy
the requirements Of our subscribers and patrons,
the great people Of this great country


The enlargements which we are about to
undertake will cost us from one hundred md
fifty thousand to two hundred thousand dollars
We have already purchased four or five build.
ings on tie block between Ann and Fulton
streets, SO as to make the HERALD establish
ment cover 4 square Of about one hundred
feet on Fulton, Ann and Nassau streets
Beneath these buildings we shall excavate
an immense vault, in which we shall be able
to accommodate the numerous presses and
other machinery which we are compelled to
employ.


AT present, with our large presses and our
system Of stereotyping, which is more speedy
and accurate than the system used by tie Lon
don Times, We can print about one hundred
and fifty thousand copies of the HERALD in
three hours Marvellous as this is, it is not fast
enough for our business. We intend to set up
at least five mammoth ten cylinder presses,
which will print three hundred thousand triple
or quadruple sheets in the same space of time.
These presses will, Of course, be manufactured
by those splendid mechanical artists, the
Messrs. Hoe, and will be of tho latest and
most approved patterns. Messrs. Hoe will call
AT this osaee NJ once, 70 build tho presses
while we are preparing for their accommoda-
ton.


The HERALD has not only kept pace with the
progress of the country, but 1t has actually
shown the country how to progress. The fer
tile brains Of our talented inventors have been
taxed to the utmost to devise means to enable
us to give our subscribers the news at the
earliest moment and in the most complete form.
From single sheet We have grown to triple
sheet, and may double that in few years.
Once we employed horse expresses, then rail-
roads, and now the telegraph, and we hope in a
short time to entirely dispense with the mails
and receive all our dispatches over the wires.
The growth OF the HERALD is typical of that of
the country. Every new development of it is
surprising; but 1t is quickly followed by
newer and still more astonishing wonders.


The circulation Of the HERALD is now greater
than that Of any other journal in the world,
and larger than that of all the other daily pa
pers in this city combined. When we can print
three hundred thousand copies day we shall
have no competitor upon either continent.
The enlargement of our establishment and the
improvements and inventions we shall intro
duce will enable us to accomplish this. Then,
too we can afford more space for our advertis-
ing patrons and present our subscribers with
very late hour in the morning. The trans-con-
tinental and trans oceanic telegraphs will be
finished just in time to assist US in this con-
summation.


The rebellion is now drawing to close.
Providence undoubtedly designed II to develop
the unparalleled resources Of this powerful
nation, and IL has done its work. When the
war is over the prosperity Of the reunited ma
ton will be greater than ever before, and the
American people will advance with gigantic
strides, compared with which oil the progress
OF the past will seem Ike the frat feeble steps
Of child The newspaper which the American
people have chosen as their representative
must not fall behind at such q period. The
HERALD has great mission to accomplish
for the country. for the government, for
civilization. FOR the cause OF free institutions
throughout the world. The enlargements We
are about TO make will better enable us 70
proceed with this task. While we regard the
past and The present with satisfaction, we ex.
pect the future, both OF the nation and the
HERALD, to be still more respendently glorious
