North Carolina s Leading Weekly CAROLINIAN Using Modern Equipment It has aptly been said that change is the only thing in the universe that does not change and The CAROLINIAN intends to lie such an ex ample of, the time-worn tradition. It has been continuously chang ing, progressively so, since April 6, 1940. Its readers and the Raleigh community accepted it being print ed on a Flat Bed Press at its beginning. It was not long before that press was outmoded and ttys publisher found that if he were to keep pace with the time and give his readers and advertisers a better newspaper, it would have to be printed on a Duplex. The Duplex was purchased and Raleigh acclaimed it a new day in newspaper pro duction. This press served its purpose. In 1953, the paper moved In to a new building, located at 518 E. Martin Street, from 118 E. Hargett Street. A 24-page Hoe Rotary Press was installed and It was then that the public said The CAROLtNLAN had arrived. The press could pro duce 10,000 papers per hour and could also print In two colors. The readers were overjoyed and the advertisers seemed pleased. The print was clearer and the pictures more distinguishable. The change was still taking form. It was not long before the publisher decided that the pictures could be improved on and he Installed a Fairchild machine for the reproduction of pictures on the spot. This meant that a picture could be printed and put in the paper in less than five minutes. This process brought further praise from the public and the management was able to give its readers pictures taken all over the world, and wired into Raleigh, minutes after they w'ere taken. The true venture into the better publication of a newspaper hap pened this week when a 4-station Cottrell-Vanguard Web Offset iSoe INSTALLS, rag« 2) It could not be ascertained why he chose this particular station.
