FdRMER NAPPANEE RESIDENT WRITES OF EARLY DAYS J. L. Ernest, who is engaged in the printing business in Endicott, N. Y., and who was working in the office of the Nappanee News forty-two years ago, wrote the following interesting letter in remitting lor his subscription to the Advance-News: "In sending you this‘remittance I am reminded of the fact that just tol tj-two years ago 1 was learning the printer's trade in the office of the Nappanee News. if.you could see chat old, decrepit and dilapidated outfit, I think you would don a smile that wouldn't come off vely soon. "The paper was printed on an old Ruggles foot power pcess that would take only a . six-column page at a .time. . Alter., the. form was locked up, put on the. press and planed down, it had to be turned over like a trap-" door on hinges and the type hung face down, You will readHy understand that 'unless thd type lines were perfectly adjusted and the form securely much trouble would be encountered. “All job work ranging from a calling card to a large sale bill, was printed' on ( this same press. The point system was not in vogue then, and the linotype was a long way in the future. "Well, I should just like to say that in all these years I have practically been a constaiit leader of the News. I have known your ullage since the first lot was surveyed. Very many of the dear old friends and acquaintances have passed away, yet a goodly number still remain. 1 must say, however,, that fifteen years’< absence has, wrought havoc to that particular village w’hich memory persists in throwihg upon the screen of my quite vivid recollections. "With the compliments of the season, and the very best wishes lor everybody for the New Year, I remain - ■ “Very truly yours, ' "J. L. Ernest.” READER AND ENTERTAINER.
