In tho New Building.
( )n Thursday f lust week tlie
.iiipmt'iit of tho Post printiiHr es
talilMiint'iit was nutvitl from the oM
lo-ation in David Oeker's building
to the new PT Printing House on
tlie Ilank lot near the county jail.
This printing ofliee was loeatctl in
the Imikling from whieh it was re
ihovihI since ulMiut Oitolter 1S74 or
a H-riotl of 23 J years. The MiuMle
Itnrgh 1st was established alxiut
tlie holidays of 1S2 C3 by Isiael
(iiitelius at Selinsgrove. It was run
hv its founder until ome time dur
ing the latter jxirt of lSIMi. The
lt sT was not printed for several
weeks then and altoiit New Year
1SG7 it was jiiirehaseil by Hon.
.leremiah Crotise wlio moved it from
Selinsgrove to Middlelturg nnd l(e
iran issue in the first or second
week in January 1807. The Tost
was printed for a while in first and
second storv of John Arnold's build-
inr located where J. C. Sclutch's
residence now is. The second story
of the building was only a half
story. I-rfiter it was moved to a
building then erected .in the vicinity
of the present sites ofJaeob(iilbcrt's
and D. A. Kern's residences. In
this same building there was a fur
niture store conducted by Charles
K.tthcrnian of MiHHnburg. The
ItsT was on the lower story. Feb.
7th, 1ST!, this building was de
stroyed by fire; but the printing
plant had Urn moved out several
years ld'fre the fire. Mr. Crouse
owiied the l'osr and conducted it
through all his successful political
life when in DccciiiIht lfSS'2 it was
sold to Thomas H. Harter. Mr,
Hurler wielded the editorial jten up

w as too much of a temptation for us
10 resist.
We are now located at a more
prominent place in town (near the
walls of the jail) with a two-story
edifice. This building affords us a
ejiarate room on the first Hoor for
private, business and editorial pur
poses; another room for presses and
lolder and still another room for the
engine. The second story is used
by ooiujtositors.
We were assisted in moving by
Wm. C. Snyder; Harry Sjieclit,
Frank D. Keigle, Cliarles and Ed.
Corkins. D. A. Kern, whose skill
is the pynonyni of genius, had eliarge
of the lanre cvlinder press. He
took it all ajiart and put it together
again. 'He also put in place the
shaft, folder, and engine in which
lie was ably assisted br II. E.
'alUr.
The contract for the erection of
the building was given tolicnneville
SiuitJi, and W. Y. Witteumyer su
jjeriuUuded the emotion oftlie struc
ture. Henry IL lleigle anl son,
Frank, laid tlie foundation. Tlie

the direction of A. J. Urossgrove by
Howard Foulk, James Crossgrove
and II. S, llcnninger. The doors,
windows and Irames were made by
A. W. Engel of ;Vavertown. Thus
the eri'ction of this building brought
work to great many different persons.
The work was all well and carefully
done.
Last but not least, there k'longs
to the directors of the First National
Ilank of Middleburg the credit of
endeavoring to make everything
satisfactory. Th-y are a progres
sive set of gentlemen whose wide
awake business methods have buijt
up for the ldink a stuitcndous busi
ness to which they are justly entitled.
lly reason of all these things we
are enabled to occupy a more com
modious building and a more pro
minent site tor the purposes of the
Pits-r nnd its many jiatrons. The
Post is a leader. This is now the
first and only building in this sec
tion of the state that is used exclu
sively as n printing ofliee.
More than 3" years have already
rolled by during which the Post lias
everywhere lccn recognized as a re
liable and powerful organ.
In a few months' time we luie to
Ik; able to give a more completehis
tory of the Post together with a
history of the town audits business
interests.
