Readers Like, Dislike Jubilee Edition
(Cotinued from page 2-A)
cellent Diamond Jubilee Edition, and have filed
it with other editions for future reference and
ideas
I realize the immense amount of research, and
the long hours of work which went into such an
edition, and must say you never left a stone un
turned to make the issue one of great value to
your community, a history of early events which
will serve many purposes in the years ahead.
As such editions usually are, it was a work of
love and a contribution to the community which
will never be fully appreciated. From a finan
cial standpoint it will not swell the bank account,
but it is a worthy public service and a splendid
community service.
Complete and well rounded, the literary con
tent was excellent, the coverage complete, the
makeup, advertising composition and press work,
leaving nofhing to be desired. A work of art,
end congratulations on the splendid project.
Yours cheerfully,
FRED W. HILL.
Owner, Editor.
(Mr. Hill in 1947 was president of the Nation
al Press Association. In Commemorating the
Iowa Centennial, Mr. Hill’s Reporter produced
an 84-page special edition and The Frontier’s
Jubilee staff borrowed ideas freely from that
source.—Ed.)

Dear Carroll:
Many thanks for the copy of your Diamond Ju

I read it with great enjoyment. I am taking the
liberty of sending it on to a professor here who
was born and reared in Nebraska, and he too will
enjoy it, I am certain. . . .

Dear Romaine:
Frontier came today. I take off my hat to you.
Your work shows a master mind at research . . .
How well I remember the oldtimers—nearly all
gone. I missed a photograph of Mike Harring
ton and Tom Golden. Both endorsed my note to
Ed Gallagher for $100 to get to West Point for the
first time I learned of General O’Neill. I thought
he was a general in the Civil War.

Dear Frontier Staff:
Please accept my heartiest congratulations on
the success of your Jubilee Edition, a copy of
which reached here the other day.
It is the biggest weekly newspaper I have ever
seen and one of the biggest of any kind and its
quality equals its size.
The edition not only contains a record-break
ing number of pages, filled with historic matter
and news stories and features of great interest,
but the volume of advertising it carries is im
mense.
Every page of the paper reflects workmanship
and accuracy of a high order.
The Jubilee Edition of The Frontier is a price
less record of O’Neill and Holt county over a
period of 75 years and I think that every member
of the staff from the editor-in-chief down is en
titled to the utmost credit. . . .
Yours for Continued Success,
F. D. STONE.

Blair, Nebraska, July 2, 1949
Dear Cal:
I have just finished wading through 64 pages
of Frontier, and am now covered up with pages.
While my Negro slave attempts to put your his
torical issue back together again and release me
from this trap, allow me to extend my congratu
lations to you and the whole crew.
Of course, I am insanely jealous that you
should surpass our 48-pager of last April; never
theless, my father always said to smile bravely
in such crises (25c word) and pretend not to be
jealous at all. “Smile bravely in such crises and
pretend not to be jealous at all,” he’d say.
So, old man, congratulations on a job darned
well done. But please don’t send any dollar cop
ies down here to Blair to dim my own lustre, !
which is already dimming as April slides Dack
into limbo. . . , __

Dear Mr. Stewart:
We want to congratulate you on the tremen
dous and excellent 75th Diamond Anniversary
issue of The Frontier. The number of advertis
ers and the large volume of advertising gives one
a more realistic picture of the many and varied
services which the City of O’Neill offers to your
large trade territory and explains why O’Neill is
such a rapidly growing community.
Congratulations and Good Luck!
Cordially yours,
