THE Seven Wonders of the World have long since ceased to qualify. The jackal howls across the sands that were the gardens of Semiramis. The colossus of Helios is gone and we know not where it stood. Our inland lakes show lighthouses dwarfing the Pharos of Alexandria. 0.f the wonders celebrated by ancient tourists as the world's utmost marvels, only the pyramids remain.

But if the shade of Marco Polo, himself, having viewed them all, were to remark upon the astonishing things of another age, addressing the busy traffic cop, as he asked direction about the city of Akron, Ohio, in the year 1930. the little-impressed officer might quite justifiably reply- "Mister, you ain't seen nothin' yet."
Such reflections are inspired by an inspection of the new building and equipment of the Akron Times-Press. With its marvels in mechanics, from conveyors to presses. this great newspaper plant persuades one to believe that: in this field the ultimate has been attained. Such is not the fact; but even the initiated might be wholly a: a loss to suggest what yet remains to be done.

In this imposing building and in the extent and character of its equipment the Akron Times-Press pays its large clientele the handsome compliment of plainly desiring to serve that clientele in a great way. More than this, tin Scripps-Howard Newspapers show in the large investment made here a faith in the present and the future of Akron which puts to shame the business man or anyone else who would say that this city and district will n, - continue growing and prospering.

The new plant was put into operation on June 16. With it: but a week intervening for adjustment to the new quarters, visitors were asked to inspect the building and it-equipment on Monday. June 23. It was a happy occasion. Guests included scores of business and civic leaders. L. L. Judd, editor, George Missig, business manager. and their associates received oceans of flowers verbal and otherwise. This community has pleasure in the knowledge that such felicitations were merited, and well bestowed.
