"They're printed in sixty-four point black-face, seems to me." "What is that?" the duke inquired with interest. He thought it might be a new and desirable bit of slang. "I don't know that one." "Biggest type there is," grinned Tembarom. "It's the kind that's used for head-lines. That's newspaper-office talk." "Ah, technical, I see.
Calculations were gone through at the Liberal newspaper-office, old Nevil adding up hard, and he was informed that he was elected by something like a topping eight or nine hundred and some fractions. I am sure that a fellow who can let himself be gulled by a pile of figures trumped up in a Radical newspaper-office must have great faith in the fractions. Out came Nevil's proclamation.
He was the son of a preacher well known in Missouri and California, a man of rare good sense, caustic wit, and many eccentricities. The young man became an attache of my newspaper-office and an inmate of my home. He was as fair as a girl, and refined in his taste and manners. A genial taciturnity, if the expression may be allowed, marked his bearing in the social circle.

I am respectable and fairly intelligent, and am at present employed as compositor in the Rocket newspaper-office.
And when such a writer, thus laborious to do his utmost for his disciples, becomes after all incomprehensible, we can try to believe that it is only that inevitable obscurity of vast thought which Coleridge said was a compliment to the reader. In learning to write availably, a newspaper-office is a capital preparatory school.
After the sunset came a perfect evening. The starlight was magic. Many people called in at the newspaper-office, after the movies, to learn if the man hunt had brought results.
Two weeks ago on Monday, the twenty-seventh of the past October the telephone-bell rang sharply in our newspaper-office a few moments before the paper went to press. Now, the telephone-bell often rings in our newspaper-office a few moments before going to press.
