Merry Christmas
to All Our Readers.

W ALI OuI hCuUClSs
Christmas 1924 brings to the edi-
tors mind that this is the tenth Christ
mas he has spent in Lancaster and
that nearly ten years have elapsed
since, a total stranger, he swung off
the Northwestern train and hoofed it
down Washington street toward the
Wright House and thence east to the
square.
The view of our majestic court
house was impressive. We have been
in dozens of county seat towns. Grant
county has the handsomest court
house, population considered. we ever
saw. 1t still looks that way. Every
time we look at the building we get
that feeling of sufficiency, of satisfac-
ton that there is job well done.
The town looked clean and tidy. 1t
still looks that way. Lancaster is re-
markable in one respect-it hasn't
any slum section. Some of the hum
blest homes are the neatest.
The business section looked fair and
not up to some other towns of like
size. 1t is better than others. We
thought then little paint, ETC., would
be a great Improvement. We still
think so.
The old city hall was taken for a
livery barn 1t is now replaced with
one Of the handsomest civic buildings
in the country. 1t cost money but it
was done right.
B. J. Lowrey had the Herald office
cleaned up in our honor. 1t was the
first clean printing office the writer
had ever seen in thousands of miles
of travel. B. ]. was shrewd. His in
stinct for keeping things neat found
him a buyer when he was ready to
sell.
These are a few of the Impressions.
They remain vivid yet. The days and
years pass but one always remembers
his first impressions of place.
At that time Edward Pollock was
still at the Teller helm, in the iden-
tical building where the Herald is
now located. The old Teller, power
for many years, was on it's last legs.
And at that it survived nearly ten
years of various ups and downs. 1t
takes a lot to kill newspaper.
And now a decade has almost
passed The Herald has shown
steady growth IN volume of business,
advertising patronage and circulation.
The management confesses to hard
work in building the business up but
without support and appreciation from
the public, effort availeth nothing.
The interest and aid of the public in
Lancaster and Grant county have en-
abled us to do what we have done.
Away back in the writer's mind
years ago, was humble determination
to make the Herald the worlds great
est country newspaper. That determin-
alton yet prevails although the goal
is still far off, We want the Herald to
be first in news. first in public inter-
est, first in newspaper idealism. We
want every page to be sparkling and
And with the interest and
given us by our public we
will strive for our aim.
To our friends and readers, our cor
respondents. our advertisers, our as
sistants and patrons, one and all, we
extend best wishes for A Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year
