I THE BROOKLYN TIMES. SATURDAY. MARCH 28, 1914. NEW TIMES LOCATION BENEFIT TO READERS Responding to the urgent pressure of its multiplying constituency of readers and advertisers, the Brooklyn Daily Times will move its, publication office on or about April 1. 15 to the big building at the junc tion of Flatbush, Fourth and Atlantic avenues, facing the Long Island Railroad terminal.

For three months a large force of workmen have been preparing the downtown structure to receive all the editorial mechanical and commercial equipment now quartered in 24 and 26 Broadway, which has been the home of the newspaper for more than half a century. The execution of this move will place the Brooklyn Times in the strongest strategic position of any newspaper in the borough. The Flatbush avenue plaza is concededly the pivotal point of transit and commerce in the Western District, just as the Williamsburgh Bridge plaza is the area of greatest congestion of traffic and business in the Eastern District. In consequence, the Times will be enabled better to publish and circulate all the news of Williamsburgh, Bushwick, East New York, Greenpoint and the Bedford section, and at the same time supply the demand of Flatbush, the Heights, Park Slope, the Hill, Bay Ridge, Bath Beach, Borough Park and Coney Island with carly and complete newspapers. A GAIN TO LONG ISLAND READERS.

Readers of the Brooklyn Times in Queens, Nassau and Suffolk Counties will gain immensely by the change, as a result of the close ness of the plant to the Long Island Railroad. Twenty minutes after the newspaper is off the presses, copies will be on the stands of Queens dealers, and within forty minutes later papers will be in Nassau and Suffolk. At present and in the past, the establishment of connections! between the railroad and the plant has been a heart-breaking struggle against a thousand obstacles. From the new Times office exactly five minutes will elapse between the printing of the Long Island edition and; the departure of the Long Island train, and if need be even that scant margin may be pared to give Long Island readers the latest and fullest news at the earliest hour. Twelve thousand square feet on four floors will be used to accommodate the Brooklyn Times plant in the new building.

The property Is leased for a long term of years and the newest and most complete equipment will be installed in every division. The present management, Col. Andrew D. Baird, President; John N. Harman, Vice President; Richard C.

Ellsworth, Secretary; and the entire Board of! Directors, of course, remains unchanged. 'The Hub' of Brooklyn's Traffic At the Door of the Times Office Fifteen hundred miles of railroad, subway, elevated, surface and steam, come to a focus at the front door of the new home of the Brooklyn Daily Times, at Fourth and Atlantic avenues. The big Plaza constitutes the greatest point of transportation in the world, according 1 to the official figures of the Public Service Commission and Borough President Pounds' engineering staff. With the completion of the dual subway system, 621 miles of underground and elevated construction will be linked in a comprehensive network, extending from the square through the five boroughs; to that add 392 miles of the Long Island Railroad; and 500 miles of the B. R.

I. B. system, and the enormity of the available transit facilities is clear. Atlantic Avenue Traffic Ahead of Grand Central. The records of the number of passengers carried in the present subway in 1913 indicate the importance of the location as a railroad centre.

The figures were prepared by the Public Service Commission at the request of the Brooklyn Times and show that at the Atlantic avenue station more tickets are sold than at any other station on the entire system. In the twelve months, 22,037,728 tickets were sold at Atlantic avenue as against 18,131,765 at Grand Central, its closest competitor. This is a daily average of 65,008 at the plaza station, and is rendered doubly significant by the fact that at present tickets are sold only to persons bound for Manhattan and The Bronx. When the dual system is in operation, the sale of tickets will increase heavily, since the station will serve all the radiating subways which will be fed at this point by the elevated and surface lines as well as the steam railroad.

At the same time, the Brighton Beach elevated line will be carried down from Malbone street underground in Flatbush avenue and joined with the Fourth avenue tube.

CORNER DUNHAM PLACE Manufacturers of Oak Tanned Short Lap Leather Belting Also Dealers In MILL SUPPLIES of All Kinds SOLE AGENTS IN BROOKLYN FOR Anchor Belt Grease Manufacturing Company Sixty-seven years ago, in a one-story shanty on Grand street, the Brooklyn Daily Times was born, a little fourpage newspaper devoted to the interests of Williamsburgh and with scarcely a single subscriber outside that district. The difference between the Times of the past and the Times of to-day may be appreciated by comparison between the copy in the reader's hands and the accompanying reproduction of the first page of the first issue of the paper as a representative Brooklyn journal. The first number of the Times was run off on a Washington hand press in the Grand street shack.

By working in a welter of perspiration, three men usually managed to print 200 copies in an afternoon. George C. Bennet, then a stripling of 23 years, Aaron Smith and Egbert Guernsey were in control of the destiny of the paper. Yet so enterprising were the managers that two years later business and circulation had increased sufficiently to warrant larger quarters. The Times Is Expanding.

The second floor of the threestory brick building at 145 Grand street was rented. On the ground floor a hat shop was lo-. cated and the top floor was a lodge room. For five years the newspaper continued there. Its policy was neutral in politics, broad in religious matters and specializing in local affairs.

In 1856 Mr. Bennet, then sole proprietor, swung heartily to the support of Fremont, the Pathfinder, in the Presidential campaign, and from that day the political principles of the paper have never deviated from the Republican cause in State and city, as well as national affairs. When old Williamsburgh was consolidated with Brooklyn in 1855, the title of the journal was changed to the East Brooklyn Times, but after a few days the "East" was dropped and the Brooklyn Daily Times appeared. Increasing circulation, improved equipment, and the growth of advertising prompted the management to seek larger quarters again, and in 1858 part of the building now occupied was leased. tongue, heed may bring upon the wife of GOID9 saga good recommended cheap and sal.

From time to time, as progress and expansion required, the quarters were enlarged until the entire building at 24 and 26 Broadway was occupied.

The location of the plant at this point was inspired by the presence of the Broadway ferries, which then carried many thousands of passengers daily. For fifty-seven years, the Brooklyn Times has been in this location, and its new home on the Plaza at Fourth, Flatbush and Atlantic avenues was selected for the same reason that years ago prompted the establishment of the main office on Broadway. The new establishment will be closer to the clientele of the Brooklyn Times in the Eastern District and elsewhere by many minutes than is the foot of Broadway now. The big bridges have taken the place of ferries to a large extent and the subways are taking the places of the bridges rapidly. By locating at the focus of all the important railroads in the borough, the Times can be delivered earlier and with more late news to its readers throughout every section of Brooklyn and Long Island, from Sea Gate to Montauk Point..
