Biwabik Times: "The. Virginia
Enterprise has installed a $4,000
press. Editor Bill could have bought
fne automobile for half the price,
but with an eye to the future he put
his money in something that will
bring returns. Here's hoping that
he gets the work with which to keep
the press running night and day."

man and his success is due to hard
work. He is fearless in his general

pleased with his progress and admire
the Enterprise as one of the best
weeklies in the state. The Enter

Enterprise comes to hand his week

scription of that very interesting and

combined with sound Judgment will
do. Here's hoping the Enterprise
continues to grow in the future as 1t
has in the past
