"The Telegraph has a fine con- crete building with every modern convenience and is a well appointed plant. The business offices-in fact the whole plant-would do justice to any plant in the United States in a city of 100,000 or even larger. There is an engraving plant, stereo- type plant, type-casting plant, as well as the conventional composing room, pressroom, bindery, etc. The Shanghai editorial and reportorial rooms are
large, well lighted and models for Manila, Australia and New Zealand
