Moore, Chory, Haskett, Sawyer, Fitchett Run the Presses, Oct. 28, 1921
The Elizabeth City Independent printed photos of local people before most newspapers had that capability. Here’s a photo of the guys who ran the presses in October, 1921. From left to right, they are A. Raymond Moore, Linotype operator; F. Everett Chory, shop foreman; George Haskett, pressman; Earl Sawyer, ad compositor; John Ellis Fitchett, all-round man and known to the shop as “Happy.” “A more energetic or more contented group of workmen will not be found in any industry in Elizabeth City. Every one of them is interested in his work and is helping the boss to make a better paper all the time. Snapshot photo by W.O. Saunders.” Saunders was the owner and editor of the newspaper.
