NORTH SHORE BREEZE. 5 
NOW IN -ITS FIFTH YEAR 
The Breeze is now an “All Home” Production. _New ‘Equipment places the Printing Office -in 
f ‘a Position to do First-class Work. 
AST Thursday, May 21, marked the a 
passing of another milestone in the 
history of this paper. The Breeze is 
now in its fifth year. % ! 
The past year has marked the: most: 
_ important change in the paper of any in 
its four brief years of existence, the 
principal change being the building up of 
_an office large enough to allow of: the 
_ paper being printed in Manchester. 
On May 21, 1904, when the first 16- 
page issue of the Breeze appeared, the 
editor, least of all, probably, little ex- 
pected that the paper would be printed 
-in Manchester in an office of its own, in 
less than four years, and that it would 
have grown to double the size—32 pages 
‘—with a circulation of almost 2000 
copies per week. 
___ The paper was then printed in Beverly. 
It continued to the be printed there .un-.- 
til the 14th of last December.  Prior-to 
that for about a year part of the paper 
“was “‘made up”’ in Manchester and the 
pages taken to Beverly to be printed. 
On that date, however, the paper was 
first printed in Manchester, two pages at 
atime ona 13x19 Golding job press. 
The task of printing a 20-page paper two 
_ pages at a time can well be imagined. . - 
In the meanwhile the small printing 
office which the editor of this paper 
bought in August of 1906 from Joseph 
Leman was being added to little by little. 
New type was purchased, new fixtures 
and new machinery were installed, the 
two old job presses gave way to two of 
more modern make. The office was THE HOME OF THE NORTH SHORE BREEZE, Beacu St., MANCHESTER.

presses were moved to the second floor : 
of the building, on which floor also is 
located the stock room. 
The BREEzE is now an “all home <i 
production. The paper is “‘set up,”’ 
printed, bound, addressed and maided in 
Manchester. A feature ‘which should 
not be overlooked in this connection is 
the fact that the readers are able to get 
the late local news Saturdays up to within 
an hour before they get their paper at the 
_postofice. The last page is ‘‘made up’’ 
usually about 11 o’clock, and in. little 
more than half on hour afterward the PLC ama an — i ||
