A reader letter from the Journal asserts ethical standards in journalism amid a public dispute with the Corry Leader. It recounts a city clerk’s ties to a local paper and a disputed recount of council proceedings, defending the Journal’s conduct and calling out alleged slights and personal attacks.
A historic article notes laws state no city official may profit from contracts with the city. The Daily Leader claims a city clerk bid for city printing under the joint ownership of the Leader. The piece questions whether the clerk complied with the anti favoritism provisions in effect.
The record shows bids for city printing for the ensuing year were opened from Leader Publishing Co. and Journal. Despite warnings from Mayor Alexander and City Solicitor Hogett, Leader Publishing Co. and a joint owner city clerk were awarded the contract for 1905 and 1906, with related payments noted.
The Leader Publishing Company defends its city printing bid as fair and modern, citing wage increases, equipment upgrades, and a percentage profit plan. It contrasts its prices with Journal Shop printing and includes invoice figures from 1919 1910 showing price differences and claimed advantages in work quality and service.

The Corry plant manager says a large share of recent orders are for thin patterns similar to Japalli Anteb. The Journal notes Brass Bed Works are overrun with business and current output suffices without new plants. Factory expansion seems unlikely despite rising demand.
In an industry destined to become a major manufacturing sector, Nubone Co shows progress, facing challenges yet advancing. The snippet highlights a rising undertone of growth and industry potential, noting the company’s direction and the broader market prospects.
