Clinton County Republican News Shop Crew in 1937
by Barry Bauer
Birdaline Smith, who still helped out the Clinton Count/ News staff, remembers this picture well. It was taken in 1937 on a Wednesday night before she left for a vacation in California. The object was to have a picture of the staff to take to a friend in California who used to work at the newspaper office.
That’s Miss Smith on the left, with the late Gordon Luther next to her, then Gene Tabor, the late Glenn Tupper and Joe Corkin. The camera looks toward the front (north end) of the printing shop at the newspaper.
This was the Clinton County Republican News shop crew in 1937. The room was certainly well lit. The camera looks toward the front (north end) of the printing shop at the newspaper.
