Looking in the Prentiss paper? The library doesn't have any papers printed before 1968.

no not in the Library Chancery Clerks office has to keep news papers on file , because of notices and other things that had to be made public record

A few years ago, the Prentiss library had old Prentiss Headlights on microfilm. I printed some articles from the 1930's and 1940's.

Really? I'm glad to hear it. Last time I went some years back, they had nothing further back than the first week of January '68.

It has been many years since I’ve been in the library. The microfilm reels were in file cabinets behind the librarian’s desk. I know I found articles from 1941 and 1943. If the microfilm reels are no longer at the library, I am curious as to what happened to them.
