The Seattle Star
SEATTLE. WASH , FRIDAY. APRIL 11. 1913. VOL. 15—NO. 37
This isn't The Star's real birthday, but it's just like
one.
The Star starts off today on a new lap, with its
building remodeled, its giant new press installed and
its equipment improved and enlarged in every depart
ment.
The concrete men. the carpenters, the painters, the
press experts and all the rest of the workmen who have
been "in our midst" for the past six weeks have gone.
We liked these men, all right, but they did get in the
way and they did make an awful lot of dust and noise.
We of The Star family have had to give you a paper
during these past few weeks under great difficulties, but
it's all over now. The Star's hat is in the air and The
Star is literally yelling hip. hip hooray.
The new press starts today. It is scheduled to run
off the whole of today's issue. It tackled part of the
edition yesterday and came through with flying colors.
Today it goes to the real test.
The Star does not boast of the biggest newspaper
equipment in Seattle, but it can boast of the most mod
ern, and the most complete newspaper making plant on
the whole Coast. And it is ail in The Star's own build
ing, the only paper in Seattle that does operate in its
own building.
The accompanying pictures show only a small part
of The Star's plant The composing room, always the
most sanitary and best lighted in Seattle, is not shown.

under conditions as near ideal as it is possible to make
them.

The whole interior of the business departments has
l>een changtd, making more room and affording greater
convenience. In addition, new furniture has been in
stalled throughout, and the walls have t>«en redecorated.
In the circulation department more room has been af
forded, and the arrangement is such that customers and
employed carriers and newsboys reach the department by
separate doors and deal at different counters.
In the press room, besides the new press and one of
the three old ones being kept in reserve, thtTe is space to
store three carloads of paper. This whole mammoth room
has also been repainted in white, as well as a specially
built balcony, which affords the employes ample room
for lockers and a dressing room.
Throughout The Star is "spick and span," and ready
for the big things of the future. That's why today is al
most as good as a real birthday.
