Page Five OBSERVER, NOW I IN 34TH YEAR' i OWNED BY FIVE (Continued from Page One) Grande regular credited service which was enlarged from time to time as the paper and the com munity increased," he concluded. Mr. Currey recalls that the first dollar Tho Observer received was from the late J. D. McKonnon, a leader In business and politics. Of ten it was necessary for The Obser ver to oppose- air. McKennon but this opposition never became per sonal and throughout it all the pub lisher and Mr. McKennon remained the best of personal friends. Doff Fight IxHtitetl Building There Is also an interesting story concerning the location of The Ob server's second home. The paper was first printed with offices lo cated in tho upper floor of the J. 1. Slater building on Fir, what is now known as tho Lyman apart ments. Tho rent was at a very small figure, measured by present stan dards, but in the course of time, It became larger. Finnlly the Curreys decided to look around and oeo If they could n't find a suitable location for erecting a newspaper building. George IT. Currey left his office in the Slater building walked up Adams avenue to the Bohnenkam'p corner and stopped, to survey the district, lie looked up Kim street and discovered quite a gathering of men. Approaching closer he dis covered that two dogs were fight ing on tho site now occupied by The Observer, and tho thought Htruck him at the time "This is a good location for an office." Ho inquired of tho ownership and was Informed that a man named Camp bell owned the two lots. So Mr. Currey, riding in a buggy, went out to Mr. Campbell's farm and prac tically purchased the lots then and there, leaving only one loophole through which he could back out if Fred Currey didn't npprove. But Fred did and so the building was erected, lumber paid for by adver tising forming the walls, floors and roof. It was a small building, but quite adequate at that time, and served tho paper until about 1920, when Mr. Dennis found tho quarters too cramped, and renled tho Adams avenuo location in the Julius Roesch building, where The Ob server was published until this week, when it canio back to Its earlier location. After Mr. Currey sold to Mr. Dennis, the latter published tho paper for a considerable period and then sold to Mr. and Mrs. Carl Inci ter and J. D. Meyers. Later Mr. Dennis again took charge of tho newspaper and continued to edit ttnd publish It until about five years ago, when F. B. Appleby purchased The Observer. Five ownerships and four dif ferent homes, extending over a period of almost 34 years, such is Tho Observer's history in brief.
