CEDARVII UO, FRIDAY. JANUARY 4, 1924 PRICE. $1.50 A YEAR ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO The year 1923 will he one of numerous anniversaries. A few of the most notable, from the economic standpoint, include: . Operation of the first steam ferries between Brooklyn and New YoTk, The manufacture of flannel by water power, started at Amesbury, Mass, Invention of “portland cement” by an English bricklayer, Joseph Aspdin. Virtual completion of the Erie canal, connecting the Great Lakes with New York. First three story brick building built in the country, located in Borrk lyn, which then had a papulation of 7,000. First use of anthra­ cite coal. The discovery of the science that led to the inven­ tion of the daguerrotype, in 1838. Photoghaphy and cement were the most important of all. The world could hardly do without these, especially the latter. Aspdin named his product “portland cement” because it re­ sembled .when hardened, a gray stone found on the isle of Portland, off the coast of England. Abraham Lincoln, a lad of fifteeh years, was working on a ferryboat on the Ohio for $6 a month. The Marquis ofLafayette visited America, and was received with tremendous acclaim by crowds of cheering people where ever lie went. An epidemic of yellow fever was raging in Louisiana. The Colorado beetle, commonly known as the potato bug, made its first appearance in Wisconson, CARTOON IW OF 1923 * t i e r ' “L°e * t e '•W eJ •tAiLolS SAf-N 7 ll,J 63 COtl hut* * ' v * % Q \ W iSaap oat!

SUES THE COUNTY Harry spencer, Xenia, has en­ tered suit for damages, against the county commissioners for A NEW YEAR COMPLIMENT Win, H. RANKIN COMPANY, ADVERTISING 180 North Wabash Avenue, Chicago, Wilbur D. Nesbit, Vice President . December 29th, 1923 Mr- Karlh Bull, Editpr Cedarville Herald, Cedarville, Ohio, My dear Karlh: In the last numberjof the Herald I note that you are be­ ginning volume47. I t scarcely seems possible that the Herald has been in existance for forty seven years nor that you have, been its editor for twenty five 'years. Why, twenty fiye years" is a quarter of a-century I You certainly aren’t a quarter of a century old, are you? ’ ' ■r - - • ^r ( 1 * , * ’ * Anyhow you have made a great success of the paper, and so, far as 1 know*you are one of the few publishers of small newspapers who are successful. Let me congratulate on yduv record and wish you the greatest success in the future, and I trust that the coming year will bring its full quota of .happi­ ness and good health toryou and yours. Cordially yours, WILBUR D, NESBIT The Editor certainly has reason to be proud over such a. New Year compliment coming from not only a former fellow * townsman but one who holds a directing hand in one ‘ of the largest and strongest advertising agencies in the world. Yes ive must admit that twenty five years has_passed by and when we look back it seems but a few short years and but little long­ er Since Mr. Nisbet left the Herald cases where he gained the first knowledge of newspaper work that has place^L him a t the front both as a .writer and later director pf a business that is liow regarded-as the life-blood of successful merchandising. Mr. Nesbit by experience knows what the’ weekly paper of twenty-five years ago had to meet' to gain success. He also knows that the successful weekly-of today has had to keep pace with the progress of the times. Twenty five years a go it was hand set type for the Herald to print on the old Cincinnay ti jobber. Today the Herald is printed with the electric driven cylinder press from type, set on the “slug” by the linotype just like what is used by the largest metropolitan papers. In addi­ tion the,feature news service and the advertising service,is possible by a sterortyping.department that can produce the .^ane hash singleeolutnn cut or the full' page advertisement' for the advertiser. The successful weekly paper has experienced the same change- in method of production during the past twenty^five years as has the city paper. I t ’has always been the aim of the- present management to follow closely the steps of progress in newspaper development. , While we are highly complimented by Mr, Nesbit’s. letter, yet we feel that such words of praise would not be due us had it not been for the loyal support the community has given the' Herald, which we have always endeavored to make a community enterprise----- standing against what we thought was wrong and always lending unstinted support to move­ ments that meant the advancement of our moral, educational and civic welfare. Whatever compliment of. success that Mr. Mr. Nesbit would bestow on us—we want the people of this community—one yet dear to him—to share it With us, * —The Editor.
