United States Ambassador WTBon of Mexico will leave for New York today at noon aboard the Mexico. worth of school property, $73,000 appropriation for Federrl building, and, in fact, every equipment for an up-to-dato city. "Thi3 present month of July, when the usual southern town has some excuse for dull times, Lakeland has over $300,000 worth of building3 in course of erection. Lakeland is an all-year town, one good season last ing from January to December, both as to business and climate. On this pagu Is shown a picture from the architect's drawing of the building to be erected by M. K. Hctheiincion on bis lot, corner of Main street and Massachusetts ave nue, as a home for the Lakelani Evening Telegram, which is his ex clusive property, and for the Lake, land News, of which be is the own er of ninety per cent of tho stork. The plans, which were drawn by the distinguished architect, Mr. W. B. Talley, are now in readiness for the contractors, 1 .nd the contract for the building will be let about Aug. 1. The bpi.'diug will be located on what is considered us perhaps ihe most desirable lot available in the city, frontin- the Tremont hotel :md opposite the Auditorium. It will have a frontage of 25 feet on Main street and will extend 120 feet on Mas9ichutett3 avenue, making an Heal location for a printing estab lishment, with reference to conven ience and accessibility, and as re gards arrangement for light and ventilation. As will be seen from the picture, the style of architecture is some what of a departure from the ordl naary, and It is thought the building will be creditable to the city. It will be practically three stories, two floors belrg superimposed oa a high basement which will rise five feet from the sidewalk. This entire floor will be reserved for a mam moth perfecting pres3, which the In. creasing circulation of the Telegram will soon necessitate; for mailing purposes, and for storing the tons of paper required by the various pub lications issued from the plant. The second floor will be occupied by the business and editorial offices of t'ae paper, in the rear of which will be a large, well lighted and airy workroom, equipped with the latest improved machinery, and with every arrangement for the comfort j 9Ti? tn nrnmnto thn plTlcipnpv nf ths ' employes. The third floor, which is reached by a stairway from the tiled lobby in the front of the building, will contain ten large, light, airy office rooms, which will be very pleasant and comfortable, and which will be for rent to high-class professional tenants. These rooms may be leased single or en suite. Eight years ago the Lakeland News was purchased by Mr. Hether ington for $1,500. There was a small hand press and one stand of type, and the circulation of the pa. per was about 400. The proprietor and one aged and partially paralyzed printer constituted the entire force. From these unfavorable beginnings has 'grown the present considerable business, with a pay-roll of over $1,000 a month, and with a volume of business any month of which dur ing the past yeur would considerably exceed the total of the first year's business under the present manage ment. This condition has been brought about by unremitting toil In the first place, nd by a progressive and broad policy, which has won for the institution the respect and loy alty of the business men of the com munity, to whose co-operation its success has been due. The Lakeland News and the Evening Telegram have never known friend or foe in the performance of their obligation as newspapers, but have given to all a fair and Just deal. They have been on the Job always, working for the upbuilding of the community and for the advancement of every worthy cause. They have admittedly done more to advertise this city and sec tion than any other agency. They have aided in building up every eta terprise in the community and nev er for one moment has the slightest advantage been taken of lack of com petition, no change in advertising rates having been made for years, despite the tremendous LTowth in circulation. For some time the business of the institution has been sadly hamrered by cramped and unsuitable arters, and with the removal of this handi cap, and the addition to the large plant of several thousand dollars' worth of modern equipment which will be put In the new building, the management believes that more can be accomplished for the good of Lakeland, and that there will be a newspaper and printing establish ment here of which the city may be proud.
