When The Star wp on Third avenue, it! men working a4 reporters and business-getters the various departments, iv its own Seventh avenue building, it employs ninety men and women, who are kept busy every week-day of the year handling the editorial and business departments. And these ninety persons do not include the army of mewsboys or route carriers who daily distribute The Star to its many thousands of patrons. It has never been the policy of The Star to boast of its growth. In fact it has rather gome to the other extreme fm keeping facts in the background, preferring to let its readers and advertisers gradually find out for themselves. This newspaper not only has the full Seripps- Press Pub- Hishers” telegraphic service, coming from all parts of the world daily, but it has, im addition, the exclusive use in Seattle of the finely illustrated matter of the Newspaper En- terprise Association. These articles include many contriba- precedented an business in a rented room staff of leas than a dozen Today, first beg: a pit in atest Ae NRO tions from leading writers of the world, also from men prominent in the realms of politics, religion, science and art. The Newspaper Enterprise Association is composed of a gmall band of newspapers, including widely read Eastern Bt journals, which have undertaken to secure the very best matter obtainable for their columms without any regard to ost. Each member of the association, including The Seattle Star, contributes heavily towards the big fund required for purchasing these illustrated news articles and contributions. At the preseut time the association is spending $2,000 pet week, or $104,000 per year, in the purchase of this high j grade matter. i ; The readers of The Star get the entire $104,000 worth ' @very yeas, in addition to thousands of dollars worth of Tocal and telegraphic news, bought and paid for by The j Star on its individual account. j The Star is not the cheapest newspaper in Seattle, but ; the dearest from the standpoint of what the contents ac- j tually cost. No other daily in this city prints matter which a costs so much. ; No effort has been made to increase the balk of The i Star. It has been limited to eight pages, the publishers be- ‘. liewing that the sole endeavor should be towards improv- ; img the quality, rather than increasing the quantity. ‘ ‘They recognize the fact that the bigger a paper gets, the duller it usually becomes, owing to the necessity which ex- ists for padding the news columns with long and ponderous articles containing but few kernels of fact One reason why The Star has forged ahead is because of its compact and readable igem. The people have found out that they can get all the news, both local and tele- graphic, in a comparatively small space, without having to wade through the big blanket journals and work long hours extfieting’ a Little news from a great mass of words and phrases. Incidentally, The Star will state that it has ordered a | Big, double-decked Potter perfecting press from the east to add to its already large printing equipment. The paper is sow printed on two fast Potter presses, operating simuffaiigously, as one press, sometime ago, came insufficient for the demands of circulation. _ The double-decker, which is coming, will print two complete newspapers simultaneously, thus doubling the plant of The Star and making it possible to print four complete eight-page papers at the same moment. As each press has @ capacity for delivering 250 papers per minute, the double- decker and the two single-decked presses will together throw off 1,000 papers per minute, when all are running to- gether. Owing to slow freights, i sosnsigheesteh Peete ar ee be- it may be several months be fore The Star's new press is received and instalicd, but it is hoped to have it in the press room before the beginning of summer No newspaper in the Pacifie Northwest will then have a more complete printing plant. Im fact, The Star will be able to turn out more papers within one hour than any other office in this part of the country. It will be able to print 60,000 per hour. Judging from the growth of The Star's circulation dur it will not be so very long before to ing the past cight years, & f g even the four will ufficient produce papers to meet requirements presse prove it enough STAR DUST By “JOSH” Job a Nervous Cuss.
