Ground will be broken by Grit Publishing Company within two weeks for a new building to be added to the two units here.

The new structure is to be located at the corner of Willow and William Streets. It will be of steel and concrete, faced with red brick.

The plans drawn by Bollinger and Company of Philadelphia have been completed and bids on the construction were asked last week. These bids are returnable August 7 and contracts will be let shortly thereafter. Local labor will be used on the work as far as possible, and all contracts will be awarded locally as far as practical.

The new building is necessary due to the purchase of a new newspaper press to take care of increasing circulation. Delivery of the machine is expected soon after November 1.

The new building will be connected to the present main building by a four-story structure 40 feet long and 21 feet wide. This building will house an elevator, toilets and dressing rooms. Occupancy of the first floor is expected by November 1 in order to receive and coordinate the erection of the new press. An effort will be made to complete the new structure by January 1.

The new press 56 feet long, will occupy the first floor of the building and will be visible from William Street through large windows.

The accounting department and mail room will be housed on the second floor of the new structure.
