Just before completing the run
on the Messenger last Thursday
one of the cog wheels of our
press devided into two parts and
left US up in the air, for we had
considerable work on hand ready
for press.
Through the courtesy of Mr..
Williams. Of the Times-Post, we
were able to get out good size
job. But that was not all. We
just had to get in running order.
We took the broken wheel to
Tupelo to Borden Brothers for
repair. They have lately install
ed cast iron welding outfit.
To our surprise they not only
welded the wheel but also run on
a new cog which had been off
for years. With their outfit they
are now prepared to weld any
thing in metal.
