Times shifts to offset printing amid equipment delays
After twenty years as a letterpress printer the Times announces a move to offset printing as gear arrives. Until full conversion a portion of the work will run offset on a part time basis while readers are asked to bear with the transition. The note includes remarks on aging, a subscriber letter from Herman Worland of California, and local interest in boxcar shortages, grain storage, and spring forecasts.
