Last Rites jfc :nryv -- Pnncnnll F vainnliv Saiuraay ar Pa-rai- y' t!'''': 882-062- Two Newspapers Reach Milestone This week marks the birthday of Tooeles two newspapers. The Tooele Bulletin celebrates its 50th anniversary and the Tooele Transcript its 70th year of publication. THE TOOELE Transcript was started in 1894 and the publishers had this to say of the new It will be a breeznewspaper, ily brilliant, winningly witty curiously clean, satisfactory sagacious and liberally loquacious, in politics, independent in expression. Mining, agriculture, stock raising, fruit growing, general and local news, as well as breezy, pungent departments of absorbing interest as well as timely editorial talks will constitute the Transcript. First class job printing. The new paper was four pages with. six columns. In 1898 the Transcript first appeared under the name of James Dunn, grandfather of the present editor who had purchased it from the widow of F. C. Gabriel, one of the original publishers. The Transcript was published in a building at 64 East Vine Street. In 1919 James Dunn retired and Alex and Martha Dunn his children published the paper. THE TOOELE Bulletin was first published in 1914 and was started by Will J. Peters and H. H. Johnston to advertise the Johnston, later Gillette theatres in Tooele. In 1923 the Bulletin was purchased by Alex Dunn and combined with the Transcript. The former publisher L. E. Kramer moved his plant to Magna. The name Transcript-Bulletiwas used until recent years when the two were again separated into two papers but still published by the Dunn family. n n b In March 1964. Alex Dunn who had published the newspaper since 1919 died and his family continues as publishers. TME HISTORY of the Tooele Transcript and Tooele Bulletin has numerous milestones. It was in 1919 that a press run by a gasoline motor was purchased shortly after that the first Linotype machine was purchased to set type and this did away with setting type by hand. In 1932 a fire destroyed the Transcript - Bulletin plant on East Vine street, which destroyed everything. THE PRESENT building was built to replace the burned plant. In the mechanical department of the newspaper many notable firsts were recorded by the Transcript and Bulletin as the latest in equipment was added to keep the plant equipped with the newest developments in newspaper production. A major move was undertaken in 1962 with the installation of one of the first newspaper off set presses in the nation. IN 1963 a fotomatic typesetting machine was installed that replaced the hot type method of type setting with a photographic process. Again the machine was one of the first of its type manufactured in the country. Conversion to off-snewspaper production has meant a complete departure from past methods of printing the Tooele Transcript and the Tooele Bulletin. Other modernization is in the planning stage. Reporters in Tooele,' Grants-villClover, Lake Vtew, Erda and Wendover seek to keep rewell informed on all acin Tooele tivities happening e. County. |
