The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1912-07-25
ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES.
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

we owe 1t to your generous conf
dence and liberal patronage that we
enter today upon the Fourth Volume,
under far more cheering prospects and
happier auspices than greeted us on
our first appearance in Manitowoc.
When we came here, it was with the
purpose, desire and ambition of supply
ing what we knew to be universally
admitted want in this section of the
State, Press, that, by a faithful ad-
herence to Democratic doctrines and
ideas, would be worthy the support of
an honest and intelligent Democracy;
and which, by a firm, consistent and
unseltish advocacy of local measures
and improvements, would be entitled
to the respect, and receive the patron
age of business men of all parties.
We might enlarge upon other sub
| jects on this "auspicious OCCASION"
but our space will not permit. Suffice
it to say that the Pilot has encountered
much stormy weather in her voyages
heretofore, but owing to the energy of
her commander, and the assistance of
his passengers, she has braved every
danger, and is now better acquainted
with these waters than when first
launched. To those who have favored
her with their patronage heretofore,
and who, by kind words and generous
deeds, have encouraged her captain,
he returns his grateful thanks, and
trusts they will never have occasion to
regret the confidence reposed in him -
She commences her fourth voyage this
week, and as usual, will be guided by
the never failing ight-ship-Democra
cy. Any number of passengers will be
taken.
