Fourth Floor Composing Room

A color photograph of two fair skinned men between middle age and older age as they smile faintly at the camera. One man with gray hair wears an orange short sleeved collared shirt; his hands hold onto his glasses as he props himself up on the table. The other man has brown hair and a mustache; he wears a striped short sleeved collared shirt and is sat at a table. The background reveals a workspace room with many shelves for storage as well as tables.

After the page components were designed and printed, workers in the composing room would combine the text and graphics into a page layout. Advertisement pages were known to be complex and involved great attention to the details of spacing and accuracy.
