ture's Fifty -first Anniversary
3JT IS Just fifty-one years today since, a group of Hie most distinguished mcii
l of tile rountry assembled In the composing room of the present Fubllc
ledger Building and assisted In the opening eetemonles of what was th,en
tho greatest newspaper ofllco In the United. States. Had not the War inter
vened a new building for the two Ledgers would have now been well under
way.
All the drawings for the building, which, when erected, will undoubtedly
be the largest and most Imposing newspaper home In the world, have been
completed. Indeed, they were completed months .ago, but the entrance of the
United States Into the war has prevented any practical work on tho construc
tion of tho edifice Itself. That, however, will follow soon after the world
settles down after the European struggle, or as soon as materials aro readily
obtainable, and the building will be pushed radlply to completion.
On the last pago of this Issue Is given a perspective drawing of the
architects" exterior plans. It will bo noticed that the general style Is a happy
adaptation of the Colonial, quite In keeping with the location next to Inde
pendence Ha'll and In harmony with the other great structure on thf same
square with the Ledgers' home the Curtis Building.
Spaciousness a 1'eature
Spaciousness Is tho distinguishing
Hature of the building. Here tho usual
typo of skyscraper has been avoided,
and while the structure Is lofty, it
will, at the sam& time, bo so well
placed that mere height will be lost
-to sight, and the Inference of enor
mous space, comfort and light, to say
(nothing of proper ventilation, will be
strongly felt.
The building will occupy the whole
block bounded by Sixth and Seventh
and Chestnut and Sansom streets.
That gives four fronts, but the prin
cipal front will be that on Chestnut
street. Hero tho facade will be well
balanced by following the stylo of tho
Curtis Building and carrying the mar
ble course well up Into the building
-and setting ort tho facade by a row
of marblo columns around tho main
entrance. On tho Sixth street side
will be another entrance, but, while
It will bo smaller, the general effect
will be the same owing to the uso of
another row of marble columns.
Tresses In Full Sight
On tho first floor the visitor will
enter from Chestnut street Into a wldo
and lofty hall. At tho Seventh street
side ho will bo able to overlook tho
pressroom and view the fast presses
turning out tho Evening Public
IjsdSkr, if tho visit be paid in tho
afternoon, or tho Public Lkdoeh, It lie
makes his visit at night.
At the Sixth street end of this en
trance hall will be the publication office,
which will occupy all the space along
the Sixth street front of tho building.
In the rear of the counting house will
lie the prlvato offices of the business
. nuuuicr,
. .. .. ., i .. ...in
Right opposite mo main cunning m
"he the entrance to the auditorium, a
new feature In a newspaper office.
Borne Idea of the size of the hall may
be had by the assertion that It will
occupy about one-third of the space of
the second and third floors and will have
a seating capacity as largo as that of
any theatre In the'clty.
Tho platform or Btage will be 100
fest wide and will be fitted with an
organ on which work has already
begun. This organ, contracts for which
were let some time ago, will be the
largest In the world.
A Ten-Story Structure
t There are to be ten floors to the new
I' s structure, and before we mount them by
an imaginary trip in one 01 me numer
ous batteries of elevators which will
be found- at each side of the main en
trance. In the Sansom street side of the
structure and at the Seventh street end,
a visit to the basement might be paid.
Here, far beneath the street level,
will be the jiress room, at Seventh street
IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES
OPENING OF PRESENT LEDGER BUILDING
IT Is not' generally known that the late
George W. Chllds gave his first
thoughts, after his purchase of the
Ledger from Mr. Swain, to the erection
of a new building for his paper. He
purchased the paper In December, 1864,
and having Immediately, set about mak
ing internal. Improvements In the me
chanical equipment of the paper, among
which was the Introduction of the stereo
typing process, he began to look around
for a new site for a new Ledger build
ing. The building then occupied by the
Ledger at Third and Chestnut streets
was owned by the Glrard Estate. Al
though It was not then an ancient
structure, the trend of business was

corner, and back of It the finishing room
of the stereotyping department. En
ormous space still remains for the stor
age of paper and materials used for the
actual work of printing the two Led
gers. Right above the basement, on the
flrBt floor on the Se enth street side, will
bo the main section of the mailing di
vision, equipped with the latest devices
for lalslng the printed sheets to the
street level for distribution by means
of the fleet of motor wagons.
Back of tho nudltorium and within
easy access from the main entiance will
be the cloak and coat rooms, for the
use of persons attending entertainments,
conventions or meetings held In the
great auditorium. There also will he
ticket offices at cither side of the audi
torium entrance.
Publlcntlon Koom
On the SeVenlh street side of the sec
ond floor the principal mechanical de
partments will have their place. These
Include tho engraving, stereotyping and
composing rooms. Above these, at the
Seventh street corner of tho building
on the third floor, will be the editorial
rooms of the Public LEDQKn and above
It the editorial apartments for tho Bven
ino Public Lepoeh.
At present, the fifth, sixth and sev
enth stories aro Intended for uso of
light manufacturing businesses. The
eighth floor will contain, on the Sixth
street side, a suite for Mr. Curtis and
tho directors of the company. Theso
will Include a private dining room and
three bedrooms, each with Its private
bath. Adjoining will be tho private of
flce of Mr. Curtis and tho directors'
room. Thero will bo also a private club
dining room.
A CIuli for the Newsboys
One of the novel features In the
building will be the arrangements for
the comfort of newsboys. Thero will
be provided for them on the ninth floor
a Nwlmmtng pool, gymnasium, class
rooms and a library. On tho remainder
of this floor will be ample equipment
for a club, with lis dining-room and
grill.
All the material used In the making
of a newspaper will bo received through
one or other of the twor largo service
courts on tho Sansom street front. Tho
court next to Seventh Btreet will contain
tlje loading platforms from the mail
ing division, from which tho finished
Ledgers will be loaded upon the waiting
motor wagons, ready to hurry to the
ends of tho city and surrounding towns.
On each of the service courts, and on
the Sansom street front will be large
Are stairways. Elevators for both freight
and passengers are placed at convenient
places, and the facilities for retiring
rooms, etc., are designed to be In keep
ing with the latest Ideas of sanitary
engineering.
The structure Is to bo built of red
brick, with marble base and marble
coping, similar' to the style observed in
tho Curtis Building. The structure was
designed by Arnold W. - Brunner, and
Frank C. Itoberts & Co., architects and
engineers.
MARKED
westward, and the owner of the Ledger
believed that the site that would prove
to be permanently central was one next
to Independence Hall.
In 1864 there had been erected at the
southwest oorner of Sixth and Chest
nut streets a flve-Btory brownstone
structure rented out for light manufac
turing purposes, and known as the Howell
Building. It had a front on Chestnut
street of eighty-four feet and a depth on
Sixth street of seventy-nine feet.
The Ledger proprietor bought It. as
the nucleus for a greater structure. Four
adjoining properties on Sixth street
were purchased and then the work of
reconstruction was commenced. The first
work was done on May 1, 1866, John
McArthur, afterward the architect of
City Hall, was secured to mako the
plans, and these provided for a con
tinuity of outward design, along Sixth

street, with a mansard roof and a cen
tral dome on the Slth street side, with
smaller but similar roof adornments at
cither end.
The New Home firovvn
Sculptural ornamentations were added,
Including a Corinthian column at the
corner, the arms of the State over the
Sixth street entrance, a symbolical flgtirc
over the tablet on the Sixth btreet dome
and a statue of Franklin, which sur
mounts the column at the corner of
Sixth and Chestnut streets. All of the
sculpture was carried out in brownstono
in order to match the material of the
building.
Philadelphia watched the gradual
building of the structure, which slowly
assumed form, and on Juno 20, 1867, the
new office was ceremoniously opened.
The city talked about it vvhllo the
building was being put up, and for
years after It was opened It was re
garded as one of the1 sights which no
visitor to the city was allowed to miss
seeing.
1 In those days newspapers were usually
published In the most unsightly quarters.
None could point to an architecturally
perfect and modern!)- equipped building,
built for the purpose. Therefore, the
Public Ledger Building flfty-ono ycais
ago was regarded, rather Justly, as the
model newspaper office. The, step taken
In this forward direction by Its pro
prietor has since set the example, and
there are today handsome, and perfectly
designed newspaper plants In various
cities of tho country, but the Ledger
Building was the first.
Having erected such a building, thero
would have been a distinct loss in open
ing business there without letting the
world into the secret. That was not one
ot its proprietors ways. Being a man
who was known to the most distinguish
ed men in tho country at the time. In
cluding men in all professions and busi
nesses, to say nothing of officials from
Cabinet officers down to mayors, Mr.
Chllds appointed an opening day and
sent out invitations to men, of mark
everywhere.
In the accounts published In the. Pub
lic Ledger at the time of the opening
a great deal of stress was laid upon
the novelties of construction that had
been Incorporated In the make-up of the
building. For instance, the description
of the wrought-lron columns which sup
ported the Bouth wing of tho building
pver the pressroom was fitted for a
masterpiece, but as a matter of fact the
words were well spent, for after more
than half a century these pelf-same col
umns are Just as good as the day they
were put In place.
As the composing room, which ex
tended about 10U feet along the Sixth
street aide ot the building on the fifth
floor, was regarded as the model depart
ment at the time, being high and well
ventilated, and also lighted by Innumer
able windows, it was there that the
guests of Mr. Chllds were assembled at
4 o'clock en the afternoon of June 20,
1867.
"At 12 o'clock precisely," runs the
contemporary account of the opening,
"the magnificent flags presented by the
Messrs. Horstmann were thrown to the
Ureeze, the national, State and city col
ors being displayed from the flagstafls.
At 3 o'clock the guests began to arrive
at the building, and in a short time there
was a brilliant gathering of representa
tive men. The literary, mechanical and
mercantile world, together with clergy
men of the different denominations,
poets and authors. Judges and lawyers,
physicians, architects, artists, writers
and publishers, were represented. Mili
tary and naval men, as well as civilians,
were present, and never before in the
history of Philadelphia was there seen
a more distinguished gathering of gen
tlemen who made their mark In tho
world,"
A Tribute (i .Mr. Child
The guests, It appears, spend the f.me
up to the appointed hour in wandering
over tho building, inspecting the hand
some offices, and not neglecting tho fine
suite of the proprietor on the second
floor, where lie published the American
Literary Gazette, and Publisher's Cir
cular. They were amazed at the size of
the press room, where they saw three
great Hoc presses then usually alluded
to as "Hoe's Last Fast." legarded as
marvels of their kind. The guests were
taken from floor to floor and finally
reached the fifth story.
Waiting a decent Interval after the
Independence Hall clock had struck the
hour of four, Judge F. Cairoll Brewster
called the assemblage to order and In
troduced Charles Gilpin, at that time
United States District .Attorney, and at
one time Mayor of the city, us chairman.
Mr. Gilpin In his Introductory remarks
spoke of his long knowledge of tho
Ledger. "I have known the Ledger," he
said in a reminiscent mood, "throughout
Its whole life, 'egg and bird'; and I rec
ollect when Mr. Swain, my old friend,
and I used to be about in the 'wee sma'
hours' of the morning to get the news
from It before the public were awake.
It Was a 'penny wise', hut never 'pound
foolish' paper, and the two-penny policy
which has been adopted by the suc
cessor ot Mr. Swain, though a question
of some doubt at tho time, together
with other changes that ho made In It.
has convinced the public and some of
those who did not altogether agree
with him In tho opinion, that ho was as
wise, and In somo things a Ilttlo wiser,
than his predecessor."
Alluding to tho policy of the Ledger,
Mr. Gilpin, continued to give his im
pressions: "The Ledger," he went on,
after a pause, "you aro as well ac
quainted with It as I am what need
Iay of it? It has been a peculiar paper.
It is tho only paper perhaps In the
United States that without great pro
fession has started upon and adhered to
a sound moral basis nnd a moderate,
conservative course ; I mean: of tho
papers that have been self-sustaining.
There aro other papers that have started
with great proclamations of what thoy
proposed to. accomplish In the mainte
nance of morals and religion, yet none of
them have stood up more determinedly
than the Ledger for the vindication of
correct principles ; comparatively speak
ing, they have pioved failures. Tho
Ledger has been temperate, wise, dis
creet ; never flattering any ono on ac
count of his position, and never assail
ing any one because he happened to be
a poor devil of a fellow whom It was
easy to kick. It has been temperate
'In those things, and that has been the
foundation of its success."
Paying Justly earned compliments to
Mr. Chllds and predicting continued suc
cess for the Public Ledger, the speaker
said: "It Is not a mere question
of the Ledger: It Is a question of
Philadelphia and tho Ledger, because
these things go hand In hand, with equal
pace. If Philadelphia was ready and
willing t'o receive the Ledger as it
Is published, and to acknowledge the en
terprise which attends It as It Is mani
fested by Its proprietor, Philadelphia
would not bo what It has always been;
but while this building is an Indication
of the prosperity of the establishment
It Is an indication, too, of the prosperity
and progress of the city of Philadelphia.
From being onfe a local paper, the
Ledger has now become a stand
ard paper, a national paper. It Is Known
and read all over the country; It Is an
institution of the city of Philadelphia; it
Is a type of our progress, a typo ot our.
l. N . vMWii-:jS
properlty; and I believe that our city
Is moving on rapidly, nnd that with It
tho Ledger and all In It will continue to
prosper."
Mr. Mclvcan, spoke for Mr. Chllds.
whoho modesty prevented him through
out his life from making a speech, but
ne seiznu tne opportunity or praising
the Ledger's proprietor as he pvplalncd
me - niijcci oi me erection oi mo great
building.
The llnnniirl
At the conclusion of Mr. McICean's re-
marks the guests, to the number of
about 500, went to tho Continental Hotel,
where a banquet was spiead and ready
for them
The Ledger's account of the banquet
gave evidence of the splendor ot
tho entertainment. In which nothing
seems to have been overlooked. Not onl)
was the menu characteristically tempt
ing, but tho tableware and the decora
tions, and all the ph)slal partH of a
great dinner were present as never be
fore In Philadelphia. So far as the bril
liancy of tho genius nnd wit assembled,
the gatheilug probably had nut been
equaled here.
"In preparing for this banquet," said
the Ledger tho next morning. "J. B.
Klngsley &. f'o., the proprietors of
the Continental, had a caite blanche,
and In execution of the order Intrusted
to them, they succeeded In preparing an
entertainment tho like of which had
never been t-ecn in Philadelphia. Tho
splendid large banqueting loom of thu
Continental was filled with tables
spread for the guests. The rarest nnd
choicest flowers and tasteful pyramids
were Interspersed with the elaborate
constructions of confectionery. On the
main table was a representation of the
oI)l hand press contrasted with Hoe's
Last Fast ; and perhaps the most' striking
figure was a representation of the New
Ledger Building, constructed from ma
terials Known only to tho chief caterer,
and It was a capital representation of
the building."
Tho Germanla Orchestra played dur
ing the evening, and at times the Maen
nerchor Society sang choruses, and also,
the rejiorter, mentions, tne "Star Span
gled Banner" was especially noticed.
lire Hundred Giirnts 1'renrnt
As there wjero 500 persons present no
list of guests was printed, hut an Idea
of the snlendor of the assemblage of ell;
tlngulshed men is given In the woids ot
the Ledger's report:
"Bravo men and wise men rulers of
armies, cities nnd States -legislators
and lawyers, teachers of religion, and
Judges of courts, authors and Journalists,
merchants and bankers, gathered from
various States of the Union, were there
found side by side, Joining In willing
homage to tho power of the press, and
celebrating an Illustrious triumph of Its
enterprise. Thus the sight prtsented
was rendered no less suggestive to tho
thought than impressive to the senso of
the beholder.
"Mayor McMlchael presided, and cele
brated as he is for tact and genial
humor In giving happy direction to all
the proceedings at social and festive
meetings It was a subject of universal
remark that his felicitous and admirable
management on this occasion could not
have been surpassed.
"The pleasures of the evening were
enjoyed by a number of ladies as well
as. tho distinguished body ot represen
tative men already" referred to. The
ladles were assembled in an adjoining
parlor, where a sumptuous dinner had
been set by Mr. Klngsley, and after it
was over, they adjourned to tho large
dining hall, and spent the remainder nf
the evening In listening to the admirable
speaking that marked the occasion.
This was a plens-uit and unique feature
of the Public Ledger celebration "
Major McMlchnrPn peerll

divine blessing In a notable pra)er, and,

The chairman then introduced Joseph

so long and so ably upheld tho fame

"When 1 commenced connection with
the newspapers nearly fifty years ago,"
said Mr 'handler, "tho simple hand

"Before the Public Ledger nppenred
there was- a calm In the newspaper
world that sei tiled to denote some com
ing agitation Up to that time I had
seen nothing that excited anxiety in mo
lelntiw to my own Interests I could
at hast keep pace with the iitlins and
saw my subscription list slowly but
steadily Improving. But when the Pub
lic Ledger sprung Into existence thero
was in Iih management and in its general
appearance all earnestness that seldom
falls of b'liccess. when backed by perse
verance; and among other schemes of
a similar kind In this city seemed to
feel and confess and submit to the ku-
premacy or tho undertaking of Mr.
Swain and hio t-inclates. 1 felt a little
anxiety, I confess, .'jecauso I saw what
