“ By this process photographic reproductions are printed from a copper cylinder, replacing the old flat-press method, thus making possible much greater speed in the presswork to meet the requirements of a Sunday newspaper of large circulation; and pictures of a far higher degree of delicacy, depth, and beauty are produced by the process. This was but one of the evidences of Mr. Ochs' genius for advancing the art of newspaper making. The “Times,” under his management, has put forth several associated publications, like satellites revolving around the central luminary. ”

“ The George Jones Estate sold, in 1893, the name and good will of the New York ‘Times’ for one million dollars, cash, to the New York Times Publishing Company, a company made up largely of a number of very well-known men, actuated by the highest motives to preserve the ‘Times’ as an independent Democratic newspaper. ”

“ In 1872 he set out to learn the printer's trade, and four years later he became assistant to the foreman in the composing room of the Knoxville “Tribune.” Mr. Ochs had now found his career, for a year later he joined the staff of the Chattanooga “Dispatch,” and was practically in charge of the paper — at the age of nineteen. In 1879 he bought the Chattanooga “Times,” of which he is still the owner. The “Tradesman,” a trade publication for many years well known throughout the South, was established by him in 1879. ”

“ In 1896 the Saturday Review of Books and Art was established, devoted to literary and art news and criticism. It was for several years issued with the Saturday morning edition of the paper, but later became a part of the Sunday edition. The “Annalist,” a weekly financial review of affairs in the money market, the banking and investment field, appeared in 1911. The “Times” also publishes a very complete classified index, making possible ready reference to any editorial or news article printed in its columns. ”

“ Ochs' administration, the business was removed in February, 1913. Three years later, as a provision for future expansion, an additional plot of land was purchased, with a frontage of 100 feet on Forty-third Street, adjoining the Annex Building on the west side. The business of a large modern newspaper includes many branches undreamed of by Benjamin Franklin. ”
