Don Valentine November 3, 2021 · As a young man fresh out of doing battle with college, I saw a help wanted ad. It was a 6 year apprenticeship with a weekly newspaper in Sidney. I got my journeyman's certificate signed by Governor Wilson. This was one of the things I had to learn. A linotype along with a letterpress and various other tasks with putting a newspaper together start to finish. It was an accomplishment I'm glad I did but would never do again! Jean Jones Valentine I never knew a linotype operator who wasn't a little "odd" . 😉 Don Valentine Jean Jones Valentine That could very well be. I did get quite proficient at it though. I don't know if that's anything to brag about. Jean Jones Valentine Don Valentine May be an image of ‎text that says '‎CATALOGUE A. OT..MERGENTHALERA AND CO.
