It was just thirty years ago this publication day that we took over the key to the print shop which was a very plain plank building lo cated around on Second street, and which L. G. N ew lin converted into a barn some years later. H ere the business was conducted until the brick building, now occupied by the Anderson Motor Co., was erected in 1891 by the Bank o f New berg. when a move was made to the fron t cor ner room on the second floor o f this building. This was the Graphic home up to 1897 when a second m ove was made to tbs present lo cation.
