J.B. Sherrill Has Worked 40 Years at Newspapers in Concord, March 12, 1925

40 Years on Same Paper

J.B. Sherrill completed last week his 40th year of newspaper work in Concord. He went there March 1, 1885, and with his brother bought two-fifths interest in the Times. At the end of a year he bought out the other partners and became the sole owner. In 1887 he acquired the Register, in 1901 the Standard, and in 1910 the Tribune. He continued the Daily Tribune as a Daily and consolidated the Weekly Tribune with the Times.
