Old-Time Printer Honored in Nation-Wide Contest
A long overdue tribute honors old-time printers who built American communities. Twenty-six semi-finalists, aged 64 to 94, compete for five regional spots in a Sacramento centennial contest culminating April 28 at Sutter's Fort. The winner earns a $1,000 contract to supervise an old-time daily at the Sacramento Centennial.
