The Enterprise Evolution and a 1954 Debt Note
The High Point Enterprise grew with its community over 50 years increasing circulation from 500 to over 22 000 and adopting AP Wire photo service. Ownership changed hands in 1920 and 1921 with local men buying Parker R Anderson’s stake then Wiley and R B Terry becoming sole owners. D A Rawley served as secretary treasurer after his father’s death and Holt McPherson again edited the paper. The piece recalls a Dec 11 1885 Enterprise appearance and quotes on newspaper writing. The U S public and private debt rose about 26 million in 1954 to 709 million dollars.
