Very great credit is due Mr. Reick for the fine development of the _Evening Sun_ since it came under his control. I know of no man who has done a better and sounder piece of newspaper work at any time, in New York or elsewhere, than Mr. Reick has done on the _Evening Sun_. Among the events of the Reick régime were the retirement of Chester S. Lord from the managing editorship and of George B. Mallon from the city editorship, and the removal of the newspaper from its old home at Nassau and Frankfort Streets to the American Tract Society Building, one block farther south, at Nassau and Spruce Streets. It was during Mr. Reick’s control of the _Sun_ that Mr. Munsey, in the autumn of 1912, bought the New York _Press_, a one-cent Republican morning daily holding an Associated Press membership. The _Sun_ had lacked the Associated Press service since the fateful night when Mr. Dana bolted from that organization and started the Laffan News Bureau. Mr. Munsey bought the _Sun_ from Mr. Reick on June 30, 1916, and four days later, on July 3, the _Press_, with its Associated Press service, its best men, and some of its popular features, was absorbed by the _Sun_. As the _Press_ had been a penny paper, the price of the _Sun_ was reduced to one cent, after having stood at two cents since the Civil War. It remained a penny paper until January 26, 1918, when the pressure of production-costs forced the price of all the big New York dailies to two cents. The amalgamation of the _Sun_ and the _Press_ wrought no change in the editorial department of the _Sun_, Mr. Mitchell remaining as its chief. Ervin Wardman, long the editor of the _Press_, became the publisher of the Sun and vice-president of the Sun Printing and Publishing Association. Mr. Reick remained with the organization in an advisory capacity. Keats Speed, the managing editor of the _Press_, became managing editor of the _Sun_, Kenneth Lord remaining as city editor. The _Sun_ has had five homes--at 222 William Street, where Benjamin H. Day struck off the first tiny number; at 156 Nassau Street, rented by Day in August, 1835, when the paper began to pay well; at the southwest corner of Nassau and Fulton Streets, to which Moses Y. Beach moved the _Sun_ in 1842; at Nassau and Frankfort Streets, the old Tammany Hall, which Dana and his associates bought; and at 150 Nassau Street, whither the _Sun_ moved in July, 1915. It is expected that the _Sun_ will presently move to another and a fine home, for in September, 1917, Mr. Munsey bought the Stewart Building, at the northeast corner of Broadway and Chambers Street, just north of City Hall Park. The site is generally admitted to be the most desirable building site downtown, so large is the ground space, so fine is the outlook over the spacious park, and so close is it to three subways, three or four elevated-railroad lines, and the Brooklyn Bridge.
