Editor and Publisher
TO OUR FRIENDS
Our seven years in Vernonia
have brought us many delightful
associations.
Editing the com­
munity newspaper has been a
congenial task because so many
have willingly furnished items
of interest to the community. To
the advertisers, to the subscribers
and to the patrons of the com­
mercial printing department we
are also grateful for a cooper­
aion that has made publication
of the Eagle possible.
The newspaper has been par­
ticularly fortunate in having
throughout our stay here an ef­
ficient and loyal shop force who
have made the Eagle’s interests
their interests, and who have
taken pride in fine workmanship.
To all of them we are under
obligation, and especially to the
present staff, Everett Rundell
and Marguerite Laird.
It is a privilege to turn the
business over to men as compe­
tent as the new owners. Mr. Sex­
ton is a resourceful, enterprising
newspaper man of fine personal­
ity, a leader in the community
where he has been living; and
Mr. Kamholz, who will have
charge of the mechanical depart­
ment, also has had considerable
experience in newspaper work
and is prepared to maintain the
high standards of the Eagle shop.
They plan to enlarge the news­
paper at once, and to give to
the people of Vernonia the very
best that the field affords. To
them, our best wishes for success.
To all our friends, business
and social, we wish to express
appreciation of an association
that we shall recall with much
pleasure.
