Various Depaitmeuts Enla'iged.
In tv.u ve.us .ill this has been
liinngcd. 'J lie Tribune hulldlni? Is now
lor The Ti Hume's ufae only. Its newt
ptpcr department, job ib-uai tmc-ut,

now .ill l.opoib equipped to tut n out

whore they are moie ucoctblldo to the
1 uhlic and where business can he
li.itisaoitd with Its-, confulon and
inoro expeditiously.
Rifiht in riont o1' the south side of
the building1 is located the oillce ot the
Mipeiintendent or the job depaitment,
where, beside beincj much more acces
sible than heietofoie, business can l
tranmoted without the contusion intl
dent to wlili rinj; maehineiy. The re
moval ol Hip snpeiliitendent'h desk
f,-om ith former locution, allows of a
much needed io-ariansement of the
omposlnj? room, so that now .sixteen
men tan be employed in this room
alone whenever necess.uy, instead of
being limited to hcven as heietolore.
On the second lloor the overcrowded
bindery has been relieved by allotting
to it considerably increased lloor space
a pot lion of which has been partitioned
off into a stock loom. In this room Is
carried a largo supply of papers par
ticularly suitable for blanl: book woik,
so that this class of work can be pio
duced much moie expeditiously than
bet etofore.
Addition of Engraving Bepaitment.
One of the mosjf important moves
made by Tho Tribune In tho last two
jtais hus been the addition of an en
graving department, where all classes
of photo-engraving is tinned out, from
the finest half-tones and engravings,
used on the best class of piloting, to
the outline and half-tones designed lor
newspaper work. This department oc
cupies the entiie fourth flooi, where
rooms are set apart for designing and
drawing, photograph, datk rooms,
and for finishing and mounting the
cuts. The photography and pilntiug in
this department Is all done by electric
light, furnished from The Tiibune's
own plant, which insutes a utitfoim
product, and avoids being dependent
upon sunshine tor the printing uft the
pliotogrnphr. Tho engiaving derail
ment -was added a little over a year
ago, and the volume of work hus .stead
ily incieabcd until It Is mote than
double what It was when tltst opened.

Pi og less of Other Departments.
1L is not only In advertising and cir
culation that there is continual .nl
v.incement, but in the other dopnit
nients with which the general public
has little occasion to be familiar. The

many places outside of Scrunton. U is

"We hnvf tiled otheis but pieiei

"Please make us one ot your caellcnt

We knew from the starting of this Fall season that our efforts would
be appreciated. Some New York designers thought we were extreme in
the treatment of a Fashionable Overcoat. We notice they are following
our suggestions very closely, and the men who are wearing them this
season are very enthusiastic about the exclusive appearance these clothes
give them. Now, the question is, Have you bought your Overcoat ?
Whether you are a custom tailor patron or not, we'd like to stand you
before our mirror with one of these coats on. The more we show the
more we sell. It's the only way we want of increasing the patronage of
this store and proving that the Ready-to-Wear Overcoats are far from the
I beaten track of ordinary tailors.
