THE OMAHA GUIDE
By Mrs. S. Stephenson
I casually picked up a /sheet of
paper on which was printed the
words—"The only paper of its
kind in the state of Nebraska—Read
by all of Nebraska’s colored peo
ple and many other interested in
the activities of the Negro—A pa
er that serves 30,000 readers.” A"
usual I immediately became inter
ested, I wanted to see the plant of
such a paper that could print so
boldly such a sheet This paper
would have to have a very good
equipment with which to print satis
factorily the news to entertain so
largo a ciroulation- I decided to
make a visit to this plant. In go
ing there I was courteously receiv
ed by the circulation manager who
asked me of my million. I re
lated what I wanted and received
a stisfetory reply- At this time Mr.
C- C.- Galloway, the acting Manager
enterer, Mr. |S- Edward Gilbert in
troduced him- He asked Mr. Gil
bert to ®how me through, I was de
lighted. First, I was shown the
stock room which seemed to be well
i stocked with supplies. Then came
tho print shop and to my very
great surprise, the machinery is
wonderful. I began to point out
various machines asking what this
or that was used for. It was ex
plained to me by the very efficient
gentleman- He began by naming
each—first a very large Babcock;
Flat Bed, two revolution press,
four job presses, one cast molder,
two mergenthader linotype hiv
chime* and one metal steel *aw. A
complete coimjp^siting equipment,
came next, one Chandler and Price
cutter, one proof press, six news
paper stones and six type racks.
This equipment to my mind i» won
derful as the cost and installment
reaches far into thousands of dol
lars
We as race can do nothing else
but show appreciation for such an
enterprise by one of our ra<’e- It
takes ideas of a higher type to
have the desire the desire to put
news such as this paper offers in
our reach. I have long since learn
that the path of success is the path
of common sense- This enterprise
has expressed this in every way,
by a first class equipment and the
aid of an efficient staff. Namely:
Editor Boyd V. Galloway; Circula
tion Manager, Mr. S- Edward Gil
bert, Advertising Manager, Mrs.
Mildred Gilbert; Adv., Miss Ola
Mae Sheppard: Shop Foreman, Mr.
Paul Ramett; Linotypist, Mr. Ed
ward Lane; Charles Wake, Press
man; Proof Reader, Miss H- M
Punches (part time); Miss D. Ruck
er, iScc’y.; Representatives, Mrs. L.
Harrington, Mrs. E. Mitchell, Mrs.
C. E- Reynolds, Mr. .John Smith,
Mrs. Marion Quinn, and James
Seay, office boy. My job printing
done by the Guide was clearly and
neatly printed and promptly deliv
ered- An invitation was extented
me to visit when the machinery was
in action. I sincerely hope soon to
avail myself of this opportunity.
